[GapToothedWonder]

He practically stole the puck from his teammate. That's not the sort of team first, pass first, reliability you need on a championship team. Bust.

I wish more Flyers would steal the puck from their teammates.

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

"First SHL goal means first interview on CMore. Congrats, Olle!"

Also, congrats on not looking like a fetus anymore. Our little boy is all groweds up!

 

[Appleyard]

Just scored his 2nd SHL goal in the 1st period of his 3rd SHL game.

Snipe off a cross ice pass. Off his stick before it even got there and right in the top corner.

4 shots as far as I can tell. Itching for more

 

[Appleyard]

Should be credited with an assist on 3-3 game-tying goal.

Started the play digging puck off the wall.

 

[whitstifier]

Better than Pettersson

Elite prospects.com show that he has played 6 SHL games this year.

Didn't get the assist give to him either.

 

[Appleyard]

I get why no assist now... Dman tried to clear, straight to Mullen. It happened so fast in game did not see... thought straight from shot.

He has dressed for 6.

But only seen ice time in 3.

You da man...of course you know this.

Thanks.

 

[FLYguy3911]

5 defenders on the same side of the ice...textbook.

 

[Appleyard]

Picked up an assist today in 9:48 ice-time in the SHL.

Played well. Almost scored too.

He really, really does not look small either. I would guess he is ~6'0 now. Not 19 for another 9 months.

 

[deadhead]

Yeah, but he's way below the SHL point per game standard set by Lindblom!
Well, there's always next year!

 

[Appleyard]

Just re-upped with Linkoping until the end of 2020 - on a pro deal - not junior deal.

Nice for him to be rewarded after his great season.

 

[deadhead]

Is there an out if he wants to come to NA?

 

[Appleyard]

Is there an out if he wants to come to NA?

NHL and the Swedish Ice Hockey association have an agreement. So yes. If the Flyers want him before then and he wants to come to the Flyers all that happens is the Flyers have to pay ~$250k to the SIHA and that money will be distributed to the clubs that developed him.

Trust the Swedish hockey program with your prospects. They know what they're doing.

A really good write-up on the process. In all honesty I might be biased with my affinity for the SHL and Swedish national team... but the SHL is the place I trust most with developing NHL prospects. Their track record is immense - especially the biggest ~10 teams who have a lot of future NHLers and NT guys come through. Plus it is the top European league with the most similar play-style to North America I think. (Hockey was introduced directly to Sweden by North Americans... somewhat of a rarity in Europe.)

 

[Tripod]

That's good. Let him play against men the next 2 years. We don't need them all in the AHL.

 

[Appleyard]

Scored today to tie the game up and take it to OT.

He only played 5 minutes and was +2.

Actually insane what he is doing at his age with his minutes in the SHL. Just an impressive player.

Goal at 2:57 Örebro Hockey - Linköping HC

Shot from the knee after getting to high % area. The kid can really shoot.

Is Hakstol his coach?

 

[Appleyard]

Is Hakstol his coach?

He did play less than 24 hours ago for the u-20 team!

Tbf he usually gets more TOI.

[deadhead]

That was one sloppy play!
Love Lycksell's "skate pass."

 

[Stizzle]

Natural. Goal. Scorer.
