D Elias Salomonsson - Skelleftea AIK J20, J20 Nationell (2022, 55th, WPG)

He had a very strong camp and pre-season with the Jets. Improved every day, it seemed. Coaches at the NHL and AHL level love him and praise his defensive play, physicality, retrievals and first touch.

In the AHL he's starting as the top pair RD and getting top PK and PP opportunities. He was very good in his first two AHL games. Solid defensively with plenty of physicality and showing some panache offensively.

Seems likely to get some NHL games this season if there are injuries on RD, or down the stretch of the playoff situation is settled. I'd be surprised if he doesn't make the Jets in 2025. Generally considered by Jets fans and pundits to be in the mix as the Jets top prospect, along with Lambert and Yager.

wow thanks for that info!

Ya from everything i read on him and looking at his stats he looks real promising
