Let’s wait until he plays at least at the J20 level. He’s probably already a very good J20 player, will likely dominate next season as a 16 year old. But who knows?

Damn, I really hope the Swedish management have the balls to select him for the U18 worlds. But considering how many good 07's there are also in the mix, it does not seem likely.
Only once has a double underager been selected to represent Sweden at the U18 Worlds. Robert Nilsson back in 2001. He scored 2 goals in 6 games. Then again, Nilsson completely destroyed J20 SuperElit at age 15. Has to be the best prospects we ever had at that level?!

I don’t think Björck would look out of place in a smaller role. He works just as hard in his own zone, good on the PK etc. Seems like a mature kid as well (when was the last time we saw a 15 year old captain in J18? Landeskog?).
He’ll go up against the top 17 year olds in the J18 playoffs, would not be surprised if he outplays a bunch of them. He has clearly raised his game the last few months, looks stronger and faster.

A lengthy interview with him, says he notices that people write about him and his accomplishments and says it has become a little excessive, even if it's fun.
Tries to downplay his accomplishments, wants to be a two-way center, and his primary objective is winning (says you sleep better after a win, after all). His idols in the NHL are Crosby & McDavid.

It's rather similar in pronunciation to the German word "ficken".At work so i cant google that... what does it rhyme on

I put together an extended highlight video of him from last season. Can't wait to see what he brings to Djurgardens this season.

Imo, better overall by a good amount.
Frondell has him beat 2way wise but Viggo has superstar top 10 forward potential offensive ability if he stays the same course projection wise.

I could've been expecting too much, but he didn't look like draft competition for McKenna from the Hlinka, and it wasn't like McKenna play there was great either, yet still a different caliber from Bjorck.
Yeah but I do think as a true 2008, he gets some slack. He will get better as he gets stronger, even if he always is a bit shorter. He will still be at next year Hlinka, which he should be at the top of the charts.
Shame we couldn’t see Frondell. As slick as Bjorck is…Frondell is turning into an absolute brick sh!thouse physically which makes me wonder, despite the glowing reports, if Bjorck will actually be an even better NHL prospect.

i watched the games myself...Mckenna is really a year older in hockey start time since he is a late bday...i found the games i saw Bjorck in he was timid but I think this year in the J20 league will get his confidence going...he is smaller but he has a lot of time to grow before any NHL draft which is 2 years away. I personally like Bjorck, im not sure he will be Mckenna territory or not but imo he will be pretty damn good.

Lovely first showing at the U17 worlds yesterday. 3 helpers, but more importantly... always driving the play and showing that when it comes to hockey sense... few players (if any) in this tournament matches him. Excellent split vision. If his teammates had better finishing skills, he would have registered another 3 assists since Sweden were completely dominant vs Czechia. Hit the crossbar once and had a couple of decent shots too.
Still not the biggest of players, but very difficult to knock the puck from and plays exceptionally well along the boards when protecting the puck. Looks a bit taller than before as well, so wouldn't be surprised if he's 5'10 at the end of the season.
