Edström played one J20 game.When it comes to playing pro hockey, their situations are the same, yes. Neither were expected to play pro hockey but both have done already so far. For either, it was either junior hockey (SuperElit/Nationell) or pro hockey. Just because the division is different, doesn't mean the situation is different.
Tärnström playing Allsvenskan hockey is what should be considered a success as it is the highest possible level he can reach (barring a transfer which is unlikely)
Tärnström has already played four of his seven games in J20. You're already crediting Tärnström with something he hasn't done, which is stick in Allsvenskan.
And yes, the division being different does make the situation different. Just because one guy is able to stick on an Allsvenskan team doesn't mean he'd be able to do it on an SHL team. So you can't compare the situations. Maybe Tärnström could stick if AIK were in SHL. But they're not, and he hasn't, so we don't know. It's not the same. The structural circumstances are the same but the actual accomplishment is not.
What Edström did was not just a good show of development but a real accomplishment for a guy drafted where he was. If Tärnström ends up playing a regular role in in Allsvenskan that's nice a nice development but not the same accomplishment. The fact that he doesn't have the opportunity doesn't change that.
Come on man, really?Eh, I lose track of who knows and who doesn't know the league structure in Sweden
