LW/C Simon Ryfors (2015 undrafted; signed by TBL)

[Eye of Ra]

This guy has exploded this season. He always had the talent but was never drafted. Not a soft player. NHL clubs should be all over him.

Any Swedish posters have some info on this guy?

He seems talented to me, I'd throw a contract at him.

He's only 23.

Article is behind a paywall, but the headline seems to indicate that a few NHL teams are following his progress.

i'm wondering if he can handle the change of scenery, if he signs an NHL contract. He's playing with Rogle since 2013/14 and never got traded in the SHL. so the jump to another team, another league and another culture might be a bit too much, i guess.

and Ryfors is a late-bloomer (18pts last season)

i can unterstand that NHL teams are giving him a try. there's not much to lose. but i'm sceptical, that ryfors will be able to get a rosterspot in the NHL

A bump.

25 goals
20 assists
45 points
0.94 ppg
+14
54 pim

---

9 points in his first SHL season (46 games)
8 points in his second SHL season (49 games)
13 points in his third SHL season (51 games)
18 points in his fourth SHL season (52 games)

more goals this season what his entire SHL career and almost as many points what in his career.

late bloomer indeed

Great regular season, horrible playoffs.
I don't think he is NHL ready based on his playoffs, he was as small as he looks there, did not grow with the task and moment (clubs first final)

Gets an opportunity from tampa. Will be interesting to see how he fits.

Not really horrible, but the goalscoring dropped off which is an indication that it was a bit unsustainable.
You never know with these late bloomers. I wouldn't put much hope in him to become anything at the NHL level but it's Tampa so fully possible he becomes another useful 3rd liner for them.
