Going to be interesting to see what becomes of him at the NHL level. I find Björck hard to predict right now, as opposed to other top swedish forwards in recent years, both in good and bad ways.

He sees the game incredibly well, he is consistent all over the ice, doesn't really have any major weaknesses(outside of his size I guess). Competes well, has a very good attitude, both on the ice and based on everything I have heard about him. Obviously the limiting factor everyone talks about is size, but I don't think it is a checkbox as much as a spectrum. For me it is that factor combined with the lack of mechanical dominance that makes me unsure what caliber of player he will be in the NHL. It's such a insane jump in speed, intensity, physicality and lack of space, even from the SHL. I'm not yet sure how well Viggo will manage those aspects, outside of the fact that he without a doubt has the mental bandwidth for it.

He will be a player, but the upside is yet to be determined imo. Could be massive, could be adequate. Fingers crossed.

And please grow, for f***s sake.

I'm not worried about his size, his dad is 6'2" and brother Wilson is listed at 5'11" on db at age 18 and 6' even on elite prospects at age 19.

I'm well aware of that, and I'm not really in one corner on the other, we'll simply see. It's not an insignificant factor.

Their dads height is not really all that relevant now. It would be a rare case if either of them ends up there at this point. But Wilsons apparently had a quite a jump around Viggos current age, which is promising.

The other factor is the mother’s height. I know a lot of people seem to think males only get their height from their father, but I’ve found that most people get their height combining their mother and father’s height into some rough formula (not exact height, but roughly where each stands comparatively to average of their sex).

Older brother usually is more like mothers father and younger brother is more like his own father
 
What?
Got any sources for these wild claims?

To me height can be as random as anything.
I'm 192 cm. Oldest brother. My little brother is 190 cm.
My father was 178 in his glory days. My mom 168. My grandfather on either side was never above 180. I got one uncle (mothers side at 185.)
