F Anton Frondell - Djurgårdens IF U16, U16 Div.1 (2025 Draft)

[H3ckt1k]

Between him, Ryabkin, Misa and Hagens, the 2025 draft is looking super strong at the centre position.

@Hammettf2b and @Kairi Zaide were having a discussion earlier about this potentially being the best draft at the centre position since 2016.

I'm no draft expert, but wouldn't 2023 be the best draft for the centre position, at least rcently?

Bedard, Fantilli, Carlsson and Smith all look dynamite.

I didn't say they were right, just that they had a discussion on it.

So there is no Frondell on Team Sweden for the Hlinka tournament. Is he still injured or Sweden considers him too advanced for this?

Not read anything official, but he has been practising on ice for some time. Most recently with other prospects and a skills coach. I suspect that he is not 100% ready for game play. But maybe someone else has some deeper insight.

Was named Player of the Game, and had a hoarse voice after pumping up his teammates throughout the game haha.

Who is a good NHL comparison (past or present ) to Frondell Thank's ?

Cool jerseys. Kid looks built. Can’t tell about the skating from that clip or how the injury recovery may be affecting him (if at all).

Aside from just never being the most graceful or powerful skater, it seems everything else grades out to anywhere from above average to excellent, including the versatility, work habits and character.

What's his upside? Something like Lindholm/Suzuki/Horvat? Or does he look like a strong #1C on a contender?

Seems like he has a high floor for sure

Looks like a new injury for Frondell and is out for an undetermined amount of time.

I was wondering. Was rather underwhelming and only played two games at the tournament in Switzerland. Probably tried to come back too early.

Concerning.

Better in September than January or February!

Did he play since February? I don't think so...

I was referring to the impact the injury may have on the 2025 draft. If he is healthy and playing well come the new year that will be much better than the Lindstrom situation earlier this year. All bets are off, of course, if he isn't healthy the whole year or if the injury could have last consequences (again, like Lindstrom).
