Prospect Info: Jonas Brodin (Part III)

[Uberdachen]

Put me on board for drafting a Swedish defensemen. Wonder what they feed those kids over there.

As much horsemeat as they can skewer on their allen wrenches.

 

[Lapa]

Wonder what they feed those kids over there.

I wonder the same thing. Makes me kinda jealous.

Meanwhile in Finland.. Our best d-prospect that has already been drafted is Sami Vatanen from AHL.

 

[Nordic*]

Sky is the limit on this kid.

If it makes you feel better, our forward prospects suck ass.

 

[Lapa]

Not really.. A Finnish reporter tweeted that Swedish NHL prospects drafted after 2009 have 139 combined NHL goals.. Finnish prospects have 1, by Mikael mother****ing Granlund.

 

[Puhis]

Let's see... Good mobility and excellent poke-checking ability combined with great hockey IQ.

Might have something to do with the bigger rinks (= having to skate more laterally) and being able to play with adults earlier (17-18 for good prospects), thus learning the pro game earlier.

 

[Dampland]

2011 Draft Day - Jonas who?!?!? WTF is GMCF doing??!?!?! OMGOMGOMG!!!!

lol.

Huh...what fool would complain about Brodin being picked by the Wild in the 1st round.

 

[Jarick]

As much horsemeat as they can skewer on their allen wrenches.

(Ikea humor)

 

[tyratoku]

Zero doubt; played on worlds as an 18-year-old RT @MatthewTaylor21: @Russostrib does Brodin make the Swedish Olympic team?

Oh, Russo. U so crazy.

 

[Fel 96]

Brodin the forward!

 

[thestonedkoala]

Here's the scary thing; if we didn't trade Leddy, I don't know if we would have looked at Brodin. We had a hole in our defense because we traded Leddy.

We had Brodin and still took Dumba... so yes we would have. Dumba? Maybe not.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

I get the feeling that they liked him enough to still pull the trigger. The only forward even close to that spot would've been Baertschi.

You never know, it's all about development. We also traded Burns.

We could have picked up Armia as well.

Burns was traded AFTER Brodin was picked.

 

[thestonedkoala]

Burns was traded AFTER Brodin was picked.

If you don't think Fletcher knew Burns was going to be traded before he picked Brodin. I don't know what to say.

 

[Wildfan10*]

The TV crew tonight sure were impressed by him.

 

[kegstandbyme]

If you don't think Fletcher knew Burns was going to be traded before he picked Brodin. I don't know what to say.

I don't have the link, but I remember reading something Russo posted about Fletcher had interested GM's come into his office around the draft (either earlier that day or a few days beforehand, I can't remember) and give him their best proposal. So the Burns trade was agreed upon before the draft but they wanted it announced after their first pick.

Another Brodin thread started on the main board by a none-Wild fan.

 

[W75]

I'm loving this kid so much that I'm starting to get worried about me.
And myself.

Don't worry; he's legal.

 

[W75]

Haven't seen my wife since I mounted a real size poster of Brodin and Suter in our bedroom.

Probably because you have a wife... and posters in your bedroom.

 

[W75]

Seriously, no I don't have any posters.... yet.
But we're moving soon and we're going to do some renovation there. Maybe I could surprise her... wallpaper or something

Jason Zucker stays in our bedroom from time to time. The gal seems cool with it. *shrugs

 

[OpRedDawn*]

that would be awesome and hilarious to see a brodin wallpaper in a room. Or, just a picture of him, tiled all over the wall.
