Great reference... kinda scary too. I remember thinking how cool it was that I was the same age as Dan Blackburn. Now, I feel a lot less cool.

Mr. Preachy
If you have multiple top talents saying that they feel they can play better when playing with him, and all these other positives, then you done good.

Is he expected to stay with Frolunda for the year, or is he expected to be with the J20 squad? I know the CHL starts this week, so will a decision be made this week, or can they carry larger rosters for that tournament?

The group stage of the CHL is always more of a practice run for the Swedish and Finnish teams. They tend to give their youngsters a chance in those games.
I expect Henriksson to play in SuperElit with Raymond for the majority of the season
In the first game in the WJSS Sweden started half-humiliatingly bad. The coach moved Henriksson to Raymond and Holtz and they became Sweden’s best line. The rest of the Tournament Henriksson played away from Holtz and Raymond, they didn’t have a very good tournament.
Monthen likes the 3 other guys he have at center, I don’t think he has anything against Henriksson, but David Gustafsson, Jacob Olofsson and Oscar Bäck are three 19 y/o top three round centers at 6’2-3 who has a lot of pro experience and will play a lot in the SHL. It’s obvious that Monthen would prefer if Raymond and Holtz could log time with them.
But I am not so sold on if it will work. I think Henriksson has a good shot to walk away with that spot at the WJC, but time will tell. It’s a bit of an uphill battle from the start.

Frolundas lineup in the preseason tournament final:
Joel Mustonen - Joel Lundqvist - Max Friberg
Simon Hjalmarsson – Karl Henriksson – Lucas Raymond
Patrik Carlsson – Jacob Peterson – Sebastian Stålberg
Mats Rosseli Olsen – Johan Sundström – Samuel Fagemo
Good environment. Henriksson assisted on the Tourment clinching 2-1 goal.

Höjdpunkter: Frölunda segrade i rivalmötet med Färjestad - Sport - tv4.se
Highlights from the game. Henriksson assist 1:10 left. After that he makes a great set-up but the shooter is robbed.

this dude has classic steal written all over him
loved the pick at the time, love it now. i think he’s about to have a statement season in Sweden.

Both Henriksson and Edstrom should be in J20, and their teams list them there. Henriksson more due to Frolunda's depth, Edstrom because he's raw.

I think Raymond is starting on the J20 squad as well, so I would think he'd be the first non-C call-up.

Raymond has top 2 skills on our team, I expect him to force his way into the men's team at some point during the season. When that happens Henriksson's gonna be the main attraction on the J20 team.

Henriksson's trajectory will be determined by his own performance and also the ability to adjust to the new team for the 2 new centers on the team.
Aahlstroem
På Legenders Axlar
Those two new centers aren't really new. Lasu has played 569 games for the team, Sundström has played 256. They know the team since before and doesn't really need to adjust that much, other than they've got new linemates. It's gonna take a lot for Henriksson to outplay them, or Lundqvist or Peterson for that matter.

Yes. It is probably a bit easier for Raymond to earn a spot but that is by no means a given. Frölunda has great depth and is probably the most consistent team in Sweden the last few years. Joel is really struggling recently in my opinion though, but he's basically Frölunda's Marc Staal
Aahlstroem
På Legenders Axlar
It will be hard for Raymond as well. But I believe he's got too much skill to be kept of the team for long though. Players like Mustonen, Rosseli Olsen and Stålberg are going to have to watch out for him.
And you're really, really wrong about Joel. You've been wrong about him for some time now. He is nowhere near a Marc Staal.

This kid seems like he could be an important piece for us now. Excelled at WJC with 2 great wingers in Raymond and Holtz, we could surround him with weapons like that.

I thought that about Ronning and Day too but neither did anything after junior. Hopefully this is different

I really don’t think this kid gets talked about enough as a potential future 2C for us.

If he can process the game at an NHL level and even just stay as babysitter and defensive conscious for top wingers it would be tremendous.
