European, Dallas and defenceman. Man they have a lot of them.

My favourite player in the SHL right now. Makes incredible plays. Could shoot more often and muscle up a little bit.

I saw him at a Stars development camp after he was drafted. If he is able to do in games what I saw there we have a special player and another kid with a high ceiling from Europe. His stats so far this year and minutes played are both very good to see.

How does this kid compare to Klingberg in style (if at all) and development wise? Or what is his NHL comp?

 

[Michael Farkas]

Last I saw him, definitely not as good of a skater as Klingberg...in fact, some aspects of his skating were a little clunky I thought...I haven't seen him yet this season, so maybe it has smoothed out a little...

Apt puck mover though...

Super pumped for this kid to come over. However I hope people don't start to compare him to Klingberg too much.

The way Klingberg transitioned just does really happen and expecting an other Klingberg like transition/player is just unfair to put on any prospect

 

[Foppa]

Klingberg, Lindell, Honka and now this guy? Of course there are Jokipakka and Nemeth as well but the puck-moving group seems to be especially tasty in terms of upside.

Slow down on the Klingberg comparisons
