Henriksson has been back with the J20 team in the Top 10 round. He is 4-0-7-7, which is great, considering he's only playing the top half of the J20 at this point. 6 shots in 4 games. He's like Michael Nylander who always averaged less than 2 shots per game. If you add up his Top 10 stats and his regular stats, he's at 21-5-25-30, +17 with 39 shots.

Super raw, but having a good D+1 year. He was expected by most to be in J20, instead made his SHL team and has played well.

Too early to tell. Same situation as Leevi Aaltonen to be honest. Late round picks are long-shot prospects anyway, but having Edström play every game in the SHL so far is a good sign. It will be 2-3 years before we can realistically say if he has a shot. For a timeline, I think Jesper Fast is a good comparable

Despicable. Try using some ingenuity instead of just comparing prospects to their fellow countrymen. I expect better from you, AK.

If I recall Fasth's D+1 season (in SHL) was pretty good statistically - kind of put him on the Rangers prospects map right away.

When discussing a timeline, it only makes sense to compare to a player who came through the same league-system
I always avoid comparisons to fellow countrymen when it comes to style or upside though hahaLike Edström, he made the jump from J20 to SHL after being drafted, in the 6th round. Like Edström, he was an early birhday and one of the older prospects in his draft class. Fast's production was slightly higher, but they're actually a good comparison when determining a timeline
The flameout on a bad Södertälje team and his totals in J20 are not impressive for D+1. Gonna take all for years and a growth spurt for him to have a chance at an ELC.
Edstrom has a much better chance.

I don't think it's that simple. Henriksson plays for a much better team, with crazy depth down the middle, in Frölunda. Edström has worked his way up to the 3rd line on Rögle which is impressive, but shouldn't put him in any way ahead of Henriksson.
I think both are at least 2 years away, and fans have super high expectations of Henriksson because the Rangers kept him around longer than expected in pre-season/camp
I mean Henriksson was 15th in the prospect poll, I don't think anyone has unreasonable expectations for him. He's in the same place as he was before the season.
Also while you did compare the SHL angle in this, @TheWhiskeyThief also mentioned that Henriksson was a no-show in Allsvenskan with a mediocre Sodertalje team. Tough to write that one off to being on a great team with fantastic depth.

Definitely from a statistical standpoint. I didn't see him though. Did you catch any games?

I watched some games and he seemed to struggle with the style of hockey. It's vastly different from J20. Weird enough he was doing quite well against Luleå last week. Much better than in HA
Pajuniemi had two assists and was +2.
Reunanen had an assist.

Henriksson is a guy I'm still having a difficult time pegging.
The size/skating combination just doesn't strike me as a guy who easily projects as an NHL center, but I'm not quite sure how he looks as a wing who leans decently on the playmaking over shooting.
I feel like I am looking at scattered ingredients, and some of them look rather good, but I struggle to see how it all fits together at this point.

Let me guess, he stood planted at the left side and fired two one time slapper a and on both occasions someone scored on the rebounds?

Is Paul Byron a good comparison stylistically for him? I remember being surprised at how quick he was able to motor all over the ice at Traverse.

Size wise, yes. Style wise, I'm not sure.
I feel like the wheels and shot were better on Byron at the same stage.
I feel like when you're 5'9 you usually have to bring one or two skills --- either you have to be a very good skater, and/or a good shooter.
You can survive without those attributes, and Zucc is a guy who made it to the NHL as a small, playmaking winger, but I feel like that's probably the road less traveled.

What I have seen of his playmaking abilities I have really liked. As the league becomes a bit less physical and smaller players make it I can definitely see him holding his own as a smaller playmaking center. As long as he can work on putting on some muscle and decently improve his skating I think he can become a middle 6 Center. With what happened with Lias, I would hope that the Rangers find a new way to develop better skating prospects in their system. I would really like to see what Henriksson could do with slightly better legs.
EDIT: As a former (and very successful) soccer prospect, I would think the muscle is there, but the skating needs to be a bit quicker.
