At this point, where would you rank him among Flyers D prospects? Apologies, if you've been asked and answered recently
I will take “5 guys who will be blocked by Hogg for the next ten years” for $500 AlexYork
Zamula
Andrae
Millman
Hogberg
are top five clearly in my eyes. In that order.
At 18 he belongs playing big minutes in Allsvenskan than 3rd pair in the SHL.
We saw how much it helped Hogberg play a bigger role on offense in Allsvenskan and sharpen his skills, and he's an experienced SHL veteran.
I don't think it does these kids any favors by burying them for years in secondary roles in the SHL.
Probably also the incentive structure, whereas an AHL coach can advance by producing players out of prospects, a SHL coach is expected to win games to keep his job, so he's going to be wary of playing inexperienced players in major roles.
Been one of their best players since being loaned to Allsvenskan.
That’s Couts’ move!
How is Simon Bertilsson making out these days?Emil has done it for years as well. I believe I saw him for like u-17 NT do it.

Wonder why he never came overHas fell off a bit this year back in SHL after KHL stint. But hard to say how much of that is the team. Brynas's best Dman but not saying much.
Is having the best offensive year of his career... but that is partially as Brynas use him on PP as rest of D have really sucked. Him and Björk are only ones who have played decently.
From 2013-19 was routinely one of the best D first Dmen in Europe.
Maybe I am being a bit harsh on him. He carries that D on his back and if he had not been injured maybe Ersson would have had an easier time.
Wonder why he never came over
why no interest from other clubs then as he was a free agent? def odd not to give him a shot seeing what they had at the timePartially the weird 2 year signing window that happened between CBAs. (though that is a lame excuse)
Partially Flyers front office being poor at asset management. (not that he was a dead cert NHLer, but he was arguably the #2 or #3 D prospect at the time he was let go aha.)
He wanted to sign and they did not extend him an offer. A third round pick who had just gone to a WJC and was an SHL regular... they signed Blake Kessel instead.
And then signed Derek Mathers, Andrew Johnston, Matt Mangene and Matt Konan to ELCs and their much valued contract spots the year after.

I'm sure, it's just that Couts used it vs. the Rangers this week.Emil has done it for years as well. I believe I saw him for like u-17 NT do it.
Do you see him going back to the SHL or would he be interested in coming over next season after his unfortunate experience?
