Off to a slower start in the J20s than I expected. Not a big deal but looked pretty average at the Hlinka too. Something to keep an eye out for a potential top 15 pick.

Demidov is a HAB
He's a fall candidate.. there's not a whole lot to his game and his motor is low.

Sounds a bit like David Krecji, maybe? Krecji always slowed things down, had marginal speed but could occasionally separate and find another gear when you did not expect it....was a very smart player in terms of anticipation and knowing where to go and was a great passer

Interesting... I rarely see big prospects besides goalies that seem to come from Luleå. Feels like Skellefteå is the club in the north that produces prospects and perhaps even Modo before Luleå as well.
They always had a somewhat competitive senior team but not even close being the top 7-8 academies in Sweden.
Lundeström is the only one that comes up to mind and he hasn't been the biggest hit or spectacular in any way. Perhaps Luleå isn't the organization to develop offensive talent?
Skellefteå seem to be like Finlands old Kärpät when they produced a whole lot. But they aren't that leading in Finland anymore.

thats interesting when u say it, i havent think about that tbh. I know about the goalie part but as u said, rarely high end forward talent comes from there. Ihs-Wozniak maybe is a late first rounder as of rn. Ekberg, Eklund and maybe Gästrin will pass him id say
Wouldn't be surprised if he ends up around there, but he definitely has work to do if he wants to be a NHLer. His game outside of finishing(both scoring and assisting) is mediocre, and the does not have the toolset to guarantee him being a danger at that level.
I have not seen massive improvement in the last year either, which you could say for Ekberg as well, but at least Ekberg has the "excuse" of being hobbitsized, Wozniak doesn't.

I rate Ekberg more, i think he is better dangler and better playmaker but like u said, theres been no massive improvement from both of them. Almtuna and Luleås program seems very mediocre. I have more hope in Ekberg since he's moved over to Canada

I really hope he bounces back.. There's still a long way to go, but I have him outside of the first round as of today :-/
Worth noting he had the most points of any U17 player in the Swedish J20 league in history, and one of the best PPGs as well.
Wouldn't give up hope on him just yet.

I haven’t seen a whole lot yet except for the U18s but this kid hasn’t looked nearly as good as he’s ranked to me.

And just like that, he's back over ppg. Luleå is a mess this season, were on an 8 game losing streak just recently.

After his goal (and overall play) last game he has moved up to the third line tonight.
3 points yesterday Sweden U18 vs Finland U18 - Frondell had 1 point (just came back from injury?) , I was shocked when I saw he was 7th ranked by daily face off - reading some comments I have no idea if he's top 10 or second rounder, will definitely keep an eye out on him.

They've fixed the scoring now so Frondell has his 3 apples.
Well, he was falling due to a bad start of the season, and his U18 tournament wasn't anything to write home about. But after that start he now has nearly double the points as Luleå J20's #2 scorer, in 2 less games. He's a big center with a good shot and good vision.
His two goals yesterday:
His apple was a behind the net pass to Genborg in front.

Actually, nothing like one. One way scorer with skating questions. Nowhere near the mold of Kasper, Danielson, or MBN.
