G Magnus Chrona - Univ. of Denver, NCAA (2018, 152nd, TBL; traded to SJS)

[tealhockey]

6'4 Swede just turned 19, second shutout of the year for Denver last night against BC (goaltending battle vs Spencer Knight with only one goal scored -- pp -- not counting empty net), has played all 5 games so far, 1.4 GAA, .947 SV% after playing for Skellefteå J20 last year. Seems like a good one so far

Awesome to see his transition to NA going so smoothly. Kind of a rarity for a lot of players.

Interesting, I'll have to take a look but I truthfully do not watch a lot of College hockey this early in the season. Is Denver's defense still really good?

yeah I'd say so. Returned a lot of talent and depth

 

[VoluntaryDom]

really want him to make it, his nickname will obviously be Big Time and that is amazing

"Magnus Chrona" sounds like a video game final boss.

Did anyone else read the thread title and immediately wrack their brains to remember the moment Tampa took a goalie 5th overall in 2018?

First Swedish player drafted by Tampa since Victor Hedman. Ten years between the two.

I don't know much about him. But my god what a name

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Will be a big season for him and the Pioneers next season. Probably one of the better teams in the country in the abbreviated 2020-21 season but were under .500 playing only a conference schedule and did not receive an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament.

Chrona made his NHL debut tonight, giving up 4 goals on 11 shots in the first period. He was replaced after that.

Maybe not the fairest decision to feed him to the Oilers while the Sharks have been nearing their horror-bad-form from the start of the season lately.

 

[CaptainShark]

Chrona, who came close to his first NHL-win in Dallas a few days ago, now registers his first NHL-win in a 2-1 win over the Sens.

31 saves, none better than this one.

Congratulations!

All the best to Big Time. You'll be working with the best in the biz and won't have to be peppered with rubber on a consistent basis.
