Prospect Info: Nils Lundkvist: Part III

It's looking like Seider is going to beat Lundkvist's record from last year. 24 points in 31 games so far. I don't know many games he has left though.

Seider is out with a shoulder injury

Okay, so he probably won't break the record, but it's still very impressive. He was the guy I really wanted in 2019, but that was before we traded for Trouba and Fox, and before we won the lottery.

Yeah, Seider was a HUGE surprise when the Red Wings picked him but in hindsight it was definitely the right call.

I was in the building and everyone gasped when the name was announced. A lot of lists had him in the late teens, early 20s

Yeah, that was the original projection, but it was pretty obvious that he was a going to be a riser. I didn't think he'd go at 6, but top 10 wouldn't have surprised me.

He’s a big boy. Was hoping he slipped to the Rangers.

edit - so many picks/prospects. Before the lottery win. Then was hoping the Rangers traded back into the first for him.

 

[FIRE DRURY]

What a blast.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

What a blast.

People have compared him to Fox, but while he may never be as good as Fox, I feel like he has a better shot.

Lundkvist's strengths are gap control, lateral movement and his offense (shooting) while I would give Fox the upper hand in moving the puck, reading the game and passing if that makes sense.

jumps out of seat!

sits back down

Bro, I was in shock!

One of my all time favourite draft moments. He's gonna be the guy German hockey missed most. Stud #1 defenseman.

Lundkvist as a 5th defenseman next year would be sublime.

 

[eco's bones]

I would expect Lundkvist to be pretty decent defensively when he finally comes over and he's been growing as an offensive player. That one timer blast has become a huge part of his game. That's an NHL shot. Of the unsigned he's my No. 1 Rangers prospect--after which comes Schneider and Jones. Excluding Lafreniere and Miller he is absolutely in our top 3 prospects overall. His game has grown ever since we drafted him.

So he's like Tony D but with better defensive abilities. Sounds nice.

This kid may may even out the McDonagh trade

Why is Lindgren on the bottom pair next season over Hahek/Reunanen? Play style? And why is everyone itching to put Miller and Fox together but has no problem separating Panarin and Mika? Is spreading the wealth on defense not as important as spreading the wealth on offense?

I agree. I see no reason to break up the Miller-Trouba and Lindgren-Fox pairings. Both are developing chemistry quite nicely. Specifically to the Miller-Trouba pairing, we finally found a partner that works well with Trouba and people want to just blow that up lol.

its bc miller will be rated an 87 and lindgren only an 83. So miller must go on 1st defense pairing. Otherwise miller will complain to coach and u must try to pursuade.

To me, this is the best way to have balance on all 3 pairings. Balance between offense and defense, balance between physicality and skating.

If I made a depth chart, I would have specified haha

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

He puts every bit of his body into some of these shots and I love it.

I imagine the thinking is to not put two rookies together. If Hajek can develop this season (technically still a rookie?) then Hajek-Lundkvist could be viable.

Because when something works really well you have to mess with it, don’t ya know that?? Miller is obviously helping Trouba’s game, and trouba is providing good experience to miller on how to be a pro. Leave these pairs alone for god sakes. In the future a Miller-Schneider pair could be devastating for the opponent, Fox and Lindgren can play with anyone, If Robertson turns into a reliable shut down D like Young Staal before the injuries the rangers are going to have an excellent deep 6. Add in Lundkvist and maybe Jones/Skinner whew. With shesty cleaning up the mistakes, That is a D core that wins goalies Vezina trophies.
