Prospect Info: Nils Lundkvist: Part II

[NYRFANMANI]

So Swedish Adam Fox and or better?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Yea, just stick with Bleed Blue and that's it

A hashtag should be:

1. Short
2. To the point
3. Specific

#NYR was all 3, #PlayLikeANewYorker is none

Swedish Tomáš Kaberle

 

[NYRFANMANI]

Aight, not too shabby. I'm betting on something different though. Can't wait to see him here.

Exactly. Could be for any New York team, even for the new casinos. Bleed Blue could technically be NY Giants as well, but at least it's not super lame and outdated like what they currently use.

Rangers SM PR is just tryin' too hard

It's a pain in the ass to type though

Kovacs, as good as he is, still have off ice problems that caused the contract termination in the first place. He was caused an deadly accident, lost his driver's license, was then caught driving without a license.

Kovacs will never see a minute in the NHL

Damn, I really liked him. Do you know why it didn’t click in the AHL? I didn’t watch any AHL games back then and wasn’t on hfboards.

Swedish Tomáš Kaberle

Kaberle couldn't skate.

 

[UnSandvich]

Nils is now tied for 1st on Lulea in points, having played 6 games less than the leader

Too young. I just feel sometimes the Rangers rush these kids and underestimate the impact that move has on them.

Lately they seem to understand that better and put a system in place to guide these kids

That's crazy. And that's on the best team in the league

Nils Lundkvist assisted Noel Gunler's 2-0 goal on the road against Växjö.
With that listing on the score sheet, Luleå's 19-year-old became the best junior defenseman of all time in SHL.
- You get to be a little proud of yourself and what you have achieved, he tells C More.

Eh, looks like he went awhile without finally getting that point. Maybe he was squeezing his stick too hard to break the record.

We had the most conservative coach in hockey, pure dump and chase which definitely isn’t Kovács game. Add that he was used in a limited role with barely any PPTOI and he wasn’t even used in shootouts even though that was/is one of his biggest strengths, easy way to give him some confidence.

It wasn’t all on Pack/Gernander but they put him in a position to fail so there’s not a big surprise he failed.

 

[Anthony5967]

Lundkvist, to me, reminds me of...Ryan Ellis? Fair?

 

[Edge]

I think the scary thing with Lundkvist is that his offense, while a significant portion of his game, isn't necessarily Lundkvist's defining attribute.

Same as Fox. Which is what makes him so scary good.

I've always been higher on Lundkvist's longer-term potential and wanted to see what would happen if given time to cook and without the demands of "having" to get a more immediate return. Frankly, that approach has paid dividends.

I've also always felt there wasn't a tremendous long-term gap between Lundkvist and Boqvist, so much as it was a matter of Boqvist being further along heading into their draft years. So for me, none of this is too terribly surprising.

 

[duhmetreE]

He's better than Fox? I dont know how to handle this

 

[Edge]

I don't know if he's better than Fox per se, but I think he's arguably ahead of where Fox was around this time.

I think Fox is more naturally aggressive, and plays with more a cockiness than Lundkvist. But I think Lundkvist probably has more natural "skills" if that makes sense.
