[Frk It]

I saw he made his SHL debut on Tuesday. He is Latvian but playing in Sweden, looking for more info on him if anyone has seen him play.

Very good in his first game at the WJC.

50 points in 36 in swedish junior league. Woah!

Is that good for his age?
I mean, usually players his age are in Allswenskan or in SHL.
IIRC he started playing hockey pretty late, and is a late bloomer. He has looked pretty good in WJC and this might be Bruins letting him develop his offensive instincts and overall game.

Luleå are high on him and wants to use him for the pro-team (SHL) but he declines due to NCAA-comitment in 23-24.

Thank you for clarification, that's interesting.

It's good but nothing special. Not much to take away from it.

Pretty impressive WC for a 19-year old. Scored in the quarterfinals and semi-finals, and an assist in the Bronze medal game, while playing Center throughout. I look forward to watching him with UMass next year.

Good to get some J20 Nationell rep in Skoda Cup!

Yeah, I think he had a fantastic tournament. Hanging with all those guys is no small feat for a 19-year-old 4th rounder. His stock should be up. He had his chances and moments earlier in the tournament but yeah he started to produce when it mattered the most. 3 points in 3 playoff-stage games.

How Bruins draft picks are faring in college hockey - The Boston Globe

Eight players selected by the Bruins are currently playing college hockey in New England.

[Namejs]

0.47 ppg in NCAA last season
0.89 ppg in NCAA this season

He's added about 7 lbs in that period.

I think Locmelis is right on track. He probably needs to add another 7 lbs and continue improving his rate of production.

If he finishes the season strong and has a really good pre-season camp, he could sign an ELC sooner than they predict.
