That's an encouraging game! Nice. He looked very comfortable with the puck. He might have more offense than the narrative would suggest.Here's highlights from Malmö J20's pre-season game. Setkov is #3 in white, scored a goal and three assists (I think) in a 6-2 win. He was on ice for most goals:

Prospect tournament roster. I'm surprised the other teams agreed to let Detroit put 24 year-olds on their team. Seems like the only rule now is they can't be NHL regulars.

The Twar bacterium attacks the trachea and lungs and helps to produce the huge amount of mucus that flooded Hampus Melén's lungs.
Although the symptoms would not bring along, Hampus Melén continued to play ice hockey. He made eleven matches with Tingsryd in the 2013/14 season before the body said completely. In October he was so weak that he could not leave the bed.
"I was so focused on playing hockey and doing good on the ice that I did not realize my own best. In the end, I was so bad that I could not go to school. I missed the final year at high school and could not play hockey at all, says Hampus Melén, who weighed 60 kilos after the illness made him bedside.
- At worst, 80 percent of my lungs were filled with mucus. So I only had 20 percent lung capacity. I lay in bed and was constantly tired. It was hard to walk down the stairs to jaw. Struggling more than normal did not work. The body did not get the oxygen it needed.
The first turn came when Hampus dad called Gunde Svan. The legendary cross-country skier is the most famous Swedish person who has been hit by Twar. He put the Melén family in contact with a specialist in Örebro. To get rid of the mucus, Hampus put on a mask and breathed in a mischievous vapor twice a day. The bacteria in the mucus risked to infect him with the disease again and again if it was not removed from the lungs.
"I got a lot of medication and got better quite quickly, but I had to go to the penicillin for 600 days to keep it in check.
Former Red Wings-prospect Hampus Melen back from 4-year battle with twar, try-out with Tingsryd in Allsvenskan (tier-2).
32 points in 25 games with division 2 team Morrum (tier-4) last season.

I suspect that they are more concerned about professional experience than pure age. All of these organizations have NCAA guys hitting the pro ranks after 3 or 4 years of school and older Euros ready to try their hand at NA pro hockey. Also, you need to take a certain number of older guys simply because the NCAA and younger European draft picks are unavailable for the tournament.
I know Wings fans were concerned of Gilmour size. Here is the latest from Saginaw Spirit website. Still on the smaller size, but 15 lbs heavier and an inch taller over the summer.

Size is far less of a concern with Gilmour than skating is.
