I've seen every game he has played the last 2 years and I don't think he is ready for the NHL. I DO however think he has more upside than what he has shown in mainly the regular seasons these past two years and I base that on his two play-offs and the fact that he went from a liability to a #1 par D in the team who became Swedish Champions and that he did it by playing a simpler game. He accepted the role as the defensive partner in the pair and used his strengths in a better way than previously.
If the Flyers had one more year before they had to make a choise, he would be lent to SHL which would be better for his development. I understand that he's an asset but I think his value will decrease with this move while I think it would have increased if he was left in the SHL and packaged in a deal during the season.
