F Felix Unger Sörum - Leksands IF J20, J20 Nationell (2023, 62nd, CAR)

Somebody tell me more about this player. I have an incredibly unreasonable opinion of him based off 1 meaningless pre-season game.

Seriously though, kid just turned 18 and has reportedly gotten noticed buy some in Carolina's camp, even getting mentioned by RBA after the first pre-season game.

What does he project to be?

Had him ranked 36th coming in the draft.

Hes a heady player, will pull passes outof his hat that nobody else saw, hes an all tools guy, no real weakness aside from a bit average size wise. I hate to do this because it raises expectations but its hard to not see Aho in there. Defensively responsible, goes in traffic and even thrives there... hes good.

Thanks. I can see that in his game. Of course, it's a long way from "having that in his game" to "doing it consistently at the NHL level". Promising so far though.

I still can’t help but wonder where he would have been ranked in the 2024 draft if he was born just a few days later.
 
This guy just centered the Swedish national teams first line in the Czechia EHT and scored a goal.



Seems doubtful he can make their full WC roster but if he’s going to add “center” to his resume and he’s not looking out of place in senior tournaments with a decent amount of top NHL players - while being basically the youngest guy drafted last year…this trajectory of development is putting him squarely in blue chip, top prospect territory. If he were born but a couple days later, I think the hype for him for the 2024 draft would be insanely higher than the current level of discourse.

With Nadeau and Blake and other winger prospects - this development of him possibly being a center fits really nicely into the Canes future needs too…
