How would you guys rank Eklund, Raymond, and Frondell as draft year prospects?

A bit early for Frondell. We have very limited viewings of him playing at a high level. Raymond was a two-way player that played a very mature style. Eklund was the smartest of the 3 and also played a mature game (although Raymond was quite intelligent too).

Frondell looks like he might have better tools and pure skill than both Raymond and Eklund. The issue with ranking Frondell over either of them is that I worry he is getting pushed up from a small sample of games against younger players. He will have to prove himself some more for me to pencil him in as a better prospect than those 2.

Eklund

I'm puzzled by this, what do you mean? He's propped up by his entire career leading into his DY? How is that a small sample haha.

Moved up to the 4th line today, his linesmates have combined for a single point through the first 7 games of the season. We'll see if he can kickstart them.

 

[Predatore]

Not a fan of what I have seen so far, granted with limited ice-time. Looks rusty and a bit clumpsy, almost. Which can be expected, of course. I hope he plays a few U20 games.

I would not mind seeing a 3rd-line consisting of Eklund-Eriksson-Frondell soon.

And as for Victor Eklund, he is arguably already the best forward in Djurgården. Looking great out there.

Haven't watched the games, but surprised they didn't give him at least a weekend with the junior squad. Very odd choice. Dude hasn't played real games outside of the 2 with the national team earlier, give him some warmup.

 

[theslatcher]

Back up with men's team, on the 2nd line tonight.

Excuse my language but holy frickin shamoly that was clean.

 

[Nabrules]

What's going on with him? I guess his poor start is due to coming back from injury? Hopefully didn't rush back..

How has he looked at the U18 tourney?

How has he looked at the U18 tourney?

Been the most noticeable forward on the team i say, 1 problem is that he barely touches the puck. But had 2 goals today and 1 nice toe drag dangle (dunno what those are called)

Playing with Djurgården's men today and scored his first goal for the men's team:

Aw heck to the yeah, dude.

He's looked so much better in the last few games.

 

[theslatcher]

And that's an apple from him in the first period. Nice little feed from behind the net to Blomgren in front. Reduces the score to 1-3.

Yup I just saw and just posted it on twitter. Huge game considering IKO is right there with them in the standings. He was robbed of a goal after going skate to stick under pressure and followed it up with the centering feed. Now 3-3 in the 3rd.

 

[Mjul Qvist]

Has anyone any info on Frondell? Is he playing or injured again?

With the WJA challenge team right now instead of the WJC team simply because he has been injured some games this season.

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Dominant first period at the WJAC. Power-play rocket from the circle for his first goal and then won a footrace and roofed home a shorty on the backhand. Centering Ekberg and Novotny. First step quick and finishes his checks.

Edit: Sorry centering Ekberg and Ihs-Wozniak. Novotny with Jennersjo and Drott.

I thought novotny was czech? Or is there a Swedish one too?

Melvin Novotny is swedish, his father is from Slovakia, a rather famous wrestler

 

[Steve Kournianos]

Another outstanding effort, this time against the Americans. Played like a first overall pick in all areas.
