He must have the best pt/lb/gm metric.Victor Johansson has 10 points in 8 games so far this season.
He had 8 points in 34 games all of last season. Very excited to watch his progress this year.

Definitely encouraging but it's the Finnish junior level so we'll see how his game translates as he progresses towards their pro league.
I wonder if he has a shot at their WJC team?
Wonder if he’d slot in next to McMann and Tavares better than Robertson.I think Grebenkin makes the team.
If he does though not sure there is room for Pacioretty, Jarnkrok, Kampf, Robertson etc. Might have to make a trade or 2.
I would assume he would need to get into pro hockey for that but I also have no clue on what the team will actually look like for them this year.Definitely encouraging but it's the EDIT: Swedish junior level so we'll see how his game translates as he progresses towards their pro league.

Grebenkin has a fan in Berube, I won’t be surprised if he makes the team. Great size at 6’2” 210lbs, good speed, high iq, good skills, what’s not to like. His game seems tailored to the North American ice.
If he's Mikheyev out of the box with more of a scoring touch we'll have a good one.
McMann is treading up hard. He’s not a 4th liner. He was the most productive forward after the big 4 in terms of goals. He’s a top 6 100%. Worst case 3rd line with other offensive weapons.I actually think Robertson, Greb and Tavares could be pretty deadly together.
I think McMann could find himself on the 4th line
The leafs scouting in Sweden is down to minor midget I swear. Can’t complain as it’s resulted in some draft days steals on guys that otherwise would’ve gone completely undrafted.Such a mystery box, but he doesn’t look like a boat. He’ll be so interesting to follow.
I love the Swedish specials from the scouting staff, don’t know why they don’t go their more often.
McMann is an elite skater with above average size and strength. Very late blooming power forward who took years to develop his hands. Let’s just hope his hand eye keeps improving.McMann is treading up hard. He’s not a 4th liner. He was the most productive forward after the big 4 in terms of goals. He’s a top 6 100%.

Kampf at 2M per is ridiculous but they will never find takers. Might have to bury him in the minors.Easy call in moving out patches. I doubt his slow recovery will allow him to compete every game.
I think Grebenkin did in the KHL at 20 (May birth month), what Mikheyev did at 24 (October birth month).
Mihkeyev may be faster, Grebenkin more physical?
Kampf at 2.4Easy call in moving out patches. I doubt his slow recovery will allow him to compete every game.

let him play the majority of the year in the minors. Will be good for his development.
Kampf and Jarnkrok are both expendable at this point. There's too many interesting, cheaper young guys (and Patches/Lorentz) pushing for jobs.
Whats the story with Abbruzesse ? Few years ago he was touted as someone who can jump on NHL
Has he not taken the next step?
He isn't really 4th line.I actually think Robertson, Greb and Tavares could be pretty deadly together.

Yah. Small sample but he produced as a middle 6er. I think there is a chance he is a bit player but his upside is not 12:00 a night if he hits.He isn't really 4th line.
