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

[Erika]

Looks like someone doesn’t know what “best case scenario” means.

there's 1 % chance that Frondell reach that best case scenario. Stop daydreaming.

Frondell is no where close to Barkov/Toews status when they were prospects, let alone projection in the NHL.

He’s rated mostly 5th after the 4 in North America. I don’t know how he’s really fallen so much after being looked at as 2 or 3 most of last season. I guess the injuries and Schaefer and Misa have done well. Maybe they just have more potential, but I don’t know that I’m sure about that yet. I’m closer to he’s about to break into the top 4 than he’s not top 5.

I can't speak on the canadian players too much, but Frondell also didn't play great inbetween/coming back from his quintillion big and small injuries.
Assuming he stays healthy I wouldn't be surprised to see him get drafted in the 4-7 range.
Based on what I've heard and read most big outlets just seem to be cautious because of the injuries and not having seen him enough in shape this season. And the only one on his eliteprospects page that have him significantly low is eliteprospects themselves. They apparently have Ihs Wozniak as the third best swede and a first rounder, so I don't really know what their criteria is.

Thank you acknowledging my best-case scenario.

Frondell is ahead of Backstrom, Kopitar and Zibanejad at the same age, so what is the point?

 

[Garl]

I don’t think he’s top 10, the more I watch him the more convinced I become.

What do you mean?

no he is not, stop the cap !

 

[Garl]

no he is not, stop the cap !

Well, but he is. Those guys were still j20 players at the same age except for Ziba, who had a very similar draft year, but without injuries and without same achievements in previous years

What do you mean?

He doesn’t look like he belongs in HA. His skating is pretty bad, he looks slow both in thought and act and he hasn’t been able to showcase any particular skill so far. He doesn’t look better than last season and he will likely be scratched when Eklund and Eriksson return.

Thank you, and some clowns here thinks he can be the next Barkov/Toews/Trottier

That's not what you said though. You said that he is not close to Barkov as a prospect. Now, Barkov is somewhat of a special case, since he was so physically advanced, but Frondell is better than Backstrom or Kopitar at the same age and those guys are comparable to Barkov

So, he is slow, plays slow, and still scores at decent rate in HA? That is quite impressive

Now really, he always was a standout in international games, this season is kind of rough one for him, injuries, rushed comebacks, missed camp etc. Don't be too hard on the kid

 

[fan1977]

Both the two guys u mentioned played in their draft years wjc and even matches with the men’s national teams. Not really sure how u can say straight out that Frondell is better at the same age. That’s an opinion but definitely not a fact.

Yes because he plays and gets PP time (at least did for some games) for Djurgården. Do you watch his games?
