I think i get Stralman comparsion, Anton at first was more of an offensive D

 

[Pavels Dog]

 

[LarKing]

He really likes that one timer from the left circle huh?

 

[Christien]

 

[OiledUp]

He's awesome. Smart player.

Told you guys he's awesome.

 

[FriendlyGhost92]

Loving that IceHockeyGIFs is loving him and cranking out all this content for us... But this is one of those particular plays where you say, "He'd get knocked on his ass doing that in the NHL" lol.

If ASP isn't an NHL defenseman I'll kill myself on live television

Crazy Soo people.

3 goals in 3 games from that spot, not bad for a non-offensive defenseman, eh?

Certainly a very promising start to the season. I can't remember the last defenseman we've had that could shoot one timers like that from the point beating goalies to the side.

 

[Fatass]

ASP just might prove to be the best D from his draft.

 

[Indrid Cold]

Crazy Soo people.

I'd PPV that

 

[hockeyprospects9]

Nils Lundkvist-esque one-timers

 

[Ezekial]

PPG+ defenseman against his peers who plays multiple spots on PP is not offensive.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

Good advisors

as of today only Reinbacher Simashev and Willander stand in his way

Hey man, nice shot

Imo ASP looks like he might be the best of the bunch.

Yikes.

Yes well how many games of Simashev Willander and Reinbacher have you watched to have an objective opinion?

What’s your barometer for “enough”? Since you appear to be the arbiter of 2023 NHL Draft defensemen

 

[Fatass]

IMO ASP has a game similar to Makar. He’s getting stronger which makes him even more dynamic.

So zero lol. These guys havent even played 20 games since getting drafted. It is way to early to conclude anything about the draft. So many promising prospects end up amounting to nothing in the NHL.

I do believe I wrote ASP “might” be the best D of the group. Imo He has a dynamic puck carrying ability that is similar to Makar. And as he physically matures the natural strength gained will make him even better. His ceiling as an impact player is higher.
