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

Well-rounded, hardworking Swedish center with strong defensive habits and questionable offensive ceiling at the NHL level, sounds a bit too much like Lias Andersson, although obviously with better skating.

Or Zibanejad?

Or Zibanejad?

Zibanejad was an elite skater in his prime. Slowed down now but no way I see Frondell ever having that mobility.

Imagine Lias is he was bigger with better skating, had much better hockey IQ, a fantastic shot, much better hands... Starting to not sound so much alike, eh?

Lias Andersson at the same age scored 0 points in 22 games in the SHL while Frondell just had the highest points per game ever for an U18 player in Hockeyallsvenskan, beating out Pastrnak and Nylander. Pretty substantial difference production wise. Frondell is also better at just about every aspect of playing hockey. Only similarity is that they are both Swedish.
