#112 Jacob Moverare

#97 on our list

Moverare is an effective stay-at-home defenceman. He has good agility and edgework, as well as solid backwards mobility. He is tough to beat one-on-one off the rush. If forwards attack Moverare’s side of the ice with their heads down, he is capable of throwing a big hit. Moverare shows good passing skills, especially in moving the puck out of the zone. He also has a decent shot. Those skills haven’t translated into offensive production yet; due to the fact that Moverare doesn’t take many offensive chances.

Underwhelmed.

Alex Lintuniemi 2.0?

The Hockey Writers compares Jacob Moverare, modestly, to Victor Hedman.

Woohoo! We got our BSDA and in rd 4.

Since Swedish defensemen are all over the top 10 finalists (4 in top 9) for the Norris, I say go with BSDA (Best Swedish Defenseman Available) at #52.

1. Drew Doughty, LAK 1254 (93-37-10-4-3)
2. Erik Karlsson, OTT 1020 (46-54-27-14-5)
3. Brent Burns, SJS 619 (3-26-54-43-8)
4. Kris Letang, PIT 587 (8-24-40-40-19)
5. Roman Josi, NSH 120 (0-1-6-17-32)
6. John Klingberg, DAL 63 (0-2-2-6-21)
7. Victor Hedman, TBL 62 (0-2-3-6-15)
8. Ryan Suter, MIN 53 (0-1-3-7-10)
9. Oliver Ekman-Larsson, ARI 30 (0-0-2-2-14)

SO, CSB has 3 top rated ones:

JACOB MOVERARE 12 CSB EURO
LUCAS CARLSSON 15 CSB EURO
JACOB CEDERHOLM 16 CSB EURO

Anyone know much about these 3...and when (not if) 1 will be a top 10 Norris defensemen?

Another big stay at home defender.

 

[HookKing]

"Has a strong point shot but it’s accuracy and placement are areas for improvement."

Marvelous.

He looks solid vs Canada in the highlights videos. Took care of his man anywhere on the defensive side of the ice.

Marvelous.

he keeps hitting the net. Give our coaches a couple of years and he will be shooting high and wide like everyone else.

Reminds me of another Swede dman who was a 4th round, 108th selection: Niklas Hjalmarsson.

 

[Peter James Bond II]

Interesting note, @ISShockey had Jacob Moverare ranked No. 8 overall among dmen, while Kyle Clague (Kings RD2 pick) was rated 12th overall

5 pts in 7 games for Swedish U18. Already played 4 games in the SEL.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Good value vs. rankings, has a damn fine pedigree playing at the levels he has

Love it.

Glad we drafted another Swede. I'd rather draft Scandinavians than Russians, it seems like they're more willing to come over to North America and play...

A guy drafted at #112 ?

I'll pass on that kool-aid.

Yes! And seems so many scans actually somehow surpass their expectations.

Klingberg? Stralman? on and on...

well, some reports had Moverare as the 8th best defenseman in the draft. If Yannetti said it and all of the staff scouts saw Moverare and hours of film too, still impressive. If their collective assessments are a bit off or skewed, it sounds like Moverare has solid hockey IQ
and that alone is great. Is 6'2 200, was called the best D on the Swede U18 and is moving to SEL. What's not to like, especially at 112?

I like the guy. Didn't say he was bad.

He has great tools, and a tool box.

But I don't think he has the highest IQ in the draft.

 

[Kingsfan1]

ISS final rankings had him as 30th overall . I love Sweedish defenseman and it's about time we get some Europeans in the system. Might he be the steal of the draft ? High IQ, smart kid from his interview and ISS ranked him 30th overall

 

[kingsfan28]

If he can hit the net like the other Swedes seem to do on a regular basis, it's a solid pick.
