LW William Strömgren - Modo Hockey, J20 (2021, 45th, CGY)

[Evgeny Oliker]

He reminds me a lot of Filip Forsberg, at least in terms of style of play.

Forsberg also took a while to develop . I see Stromberg following a similar trajectory.

Alexander Appleyard from my team at Smaht Scouting wrote this report on Strömgren. Check it out and hit him up if you have any questions.

Welcome to Calgary

Congrats Flames fans, my favorite prospect in this draft. I think he's going to be great for you.

 

[Frk It]

I loved the Flames draft getting Coronato and Stromgren.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

He’s pretty clearly a freakish natural talent with the elusive size and speed combo. The question will be if he’s got the hockey IQ

 

[Bounces R Way]

Size AND speed?! Since when can you draft a player with both.

 

[Eye of Ra]

So far it was a bad move for him to move to Rögle. He is just playing for their u20 team. He is better off in Allsvenskan with MoDo.

Weird timing.

He just played for Rögle men's team for the first time, in the CHL, and put up a 3 pointer.

yeah but im talking about shl. hopefully abbot gives him the chance in SHL after his 3 pointer

 

[Reddawg]

Stromgren with his second 4pt game of the season today, he’s having a great D+1 so far.

 

[wings5]

Has been mostly stuck in juniors this season. Imo like Lysell and Olausson, he might be a player who benefits by playing in the CHL next season

 

[super6646]

Production looks pretty crappy so far.

He could be bored at the J20 level , he was sent to Allsvenskan recently so hopefully he can do well there.

Lol if he is bored then it's even a bigger problem

The kid was recently released from Rogle. Signed with Brynas.

Flames prospect William Strömgren moves from Rögle to Brynäs in the SHL

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Excellent more for him. Now he will get more ice time in SHL and should put up some decent numbers

Maybe. The 3rd line in Rogle was his to lose and he lost it, which is why Stromgren left for Brynas. I liked this kid in his draft year and hope he can turn it around but my faith is feeling shaky now.

What?

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

What?

He was supposed to be a regular for Rogle this season. Stromgren could not cut it and he and Rogle mutually terminated his contract so he could find icetime somewhere else. He could not beat Sjodin, Tarnstrom, Niederbach, Ferguson or Ljungman for icetime.

So instead of playing bottom 6 in Rogle he's playing as the 13th forward on a worse team.

That does not answer my question. You're saying he had, and lost, a 3rd line role that was "his to lose." What did you base that on?

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

I mean it depends on how you look at the situation:
Stromgren is not a 3rd/4th line type of player. He is a top 6 talent. So maybe he didn’t stick on that 3rd line because he is just not a great 2-way player yet.

I would prefer he gets a shot at a top 6 role.

I meant he SHOULD have been on the 3rd line. He lost the spot to internal competition on the team.

I don't think he's got top 6 upside in the NHL. Maybe 3rd line at best, which is OK. I don't know if the talent level is there for top 6 duties.

You can't lose what was never yours. The players you listed got the least amount of ice time this first game anyway, so didn't quite "beat" him for a 3rd line role, or the SHL equivalent.

Makes sense for him to get away from Rögle, an Allsvenskan loan would've been good for him, but Brynäs had been interested in him since last season so should be given a decent opportunity finally.
