Prospect Info: Everything Edvinsson

[HisNoodliness]

So let's say that Edvinsson doesn't hit his offensive ceiling and is regulated to a more a 3/4 role. Can he PK? Is he physical? Does he block shots? I know a lot of people think his floor is pretty high, so just wondering if that's because he has those aspects of his game.

If his development totally stalled, he didn't learn a single thing more than he already knows, I think he'd be a lot like Ristolainen. A few seasons of good, even great, production (if given enough PP time), and solid physicality that can't quite cover up the missed coverages and turnovers defensively. He'd be that offensive #4/5 whom you shouldn't quite trust against top competition. That defenseman who produces well while getting hammered defensively when forced into a top line role that he can't handle.

That's assuming his development totally stalled out though. He has the tools to be a total menace defensively: blocking shots, eating up the whole ice with his skating and long stick, mugging people in the corners and clearing the net front. He has shown that he can be that, just too inconsistently thus far. In a bad, but not quite worst case scenario, I think he has a solid path to exactly what you're thinking.

Until ASP +1 other d prospect that's a second pairing guy I would really like to see our version of a very young Weber/Suter.

What I think has hurt Seider on the physical side is past 2 year's he was straddled with year 1 chia pet thinking he was Mike Green, and year 2 of Walman who while not bad was definitely a bit too offensive minded. Because of this he had to adjust to be a more steady stay at home player who couldn't take a lot of risks due to lack of defensive support.

Ok... good one. I only showed video, told you stats, all showing him crashing into NHL players when... you questioned if he did it like he did prior to joining the NHL and I'm saying it's the same rate just as physical and hard then... you've got nothing to back your statement up... at all.

Good convo. Easy block.

Oh my God you showed a highlight video over an 82 game season?! Thank you so much! You're definitely right. There's no disputing this now!

BTW, IDGAF that you blocked me. You've been spewing irrational shit for the last two pages. Do you block everybody you lose an argument with? Judging by this interaction, you must not see many posts.
