Prospect Info: Everything Swedish

[Pavels Dog]

Saarijarvi just scored a beauty against Sweden. Maybe he won't become an NHLer but he looks like a star at this level.

Sigh... I had such high hopes for him.

He's been great in the Liiga so far, I think the best d-man with the puck. Looking again like the Vili in his draft year U18s and in Flint.

Something didn't quite work in the AHL but I bet he'll give NA another shot in a year or two. Still a young guy for a d-man.

Yeah, good with a puck. Problem is without.

 

[Frk It]

I missed this. Very encouraging to see where Niederbach and Johansson are being slotted within their peer group.

 

[Killerjas]

Shame that Wallinder and Soderblom did not make the cut

They did but were replaced due to injury. However, these games were all cancelled due to covid cases on the Swedish team.

 

[Henkka]

6 games in Sweden today, think all our kids are on the ice.

Seider vs. Veleno (Rögle - Malmö maybe most interesting)

2nd best team vs 2nd worst team! Veleno vs Seider head to head will happen a lot.

Also looking at Malmo makes me think that Jim Howard would be an upgrade over their goaltending situation. It's probably the biggest hole on a team that would otherwise be middle of the road.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Low scoring night in SHL.

Berggren only Skellefteå goal in a 2-1 loss.
Raymond 1 assist in a 2-0 win.
Seider 1 assist in a 2-0 win.

 

[Henkka]

Veleno was damn good on entries, his speed looks almost like McDavid. So smooth skating. I think we could have another Larkin on the making.

A team with:

5min PP
5min PK
50 even strength minutes
=
15min Larkin skating transition
15min Veleno skating transition
20min Seider skating/passing transition.

These three will be at different time on the ice.

This is what makes Detroit a nightmare transition team. There's always the guy who drives the play.

Our 2008 team was constructed same way.

Zetterberg-Datsyuk with 15min
Franzen-Filppula with 15min
Lidström Rafalski played behind both Bottom6 lines with 10+10 minutes.

Berglund on the radar. I like that.

 

[Martinez]

Raymond 1 assist in a 2-0 win.
Seider 1 assist in a 2-0 win.

Raymond’s assist

 

[RedMenace]

Raymond’s assist

That was channeling some Datsyuk right there.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

That was channeling some Datsyuk right there.

Yeah that deke on the 2nd guy after Raymond spun around would make Pavs proud.

Somehow we need to get Him as assistant coach here

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

Somehow we need to get Him as assistant coach here

Larionov, Fetisov, Datsyuk & Larry Robinson. & (retired) Francois Allaire as goaltending coach, or at least G Consultant.

 

[Ezekial]

That was SICK

 

[RedWingzz]

Raymond 2 assists today
Berggren 1 assist
Brome 1 assist

Seider, Veleno, Johansson held off the scoresheet. Quiet day for our guys, but nice to see Raymond chip in with a couple more points.

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

Raymond with as many points this year as he had last year in less than half the games.

Nice. Nicccccce.

 

[ShippinItDaily]

More than a 50% increase in ice time. His production last year was not the concern that so many seemed to make it out to be.

 

[RedWingzz]

If Raymond can keep this sort of pace up, you gotta think he'd be ready for the NHL to start the 21-22 season next October.

Depends where he is at physically.

 

[lilidk]

Depends where he is at physically.

He will be fine for third line, 10-15 min a game
