We hear a lot of Lindholm but not so much of Possler for Sweden for the 2013 draft. Just wondering what the book is on this kid? Similar situation to Collberg vs Forsberg in 2012?
 
Really quick player, great shot. He is a sniper in the mold of Collberg/Ã…berg, not sure if he is as good as them though. Possler will probably get his chances on the senior team later on but he seems to be quite far away from taking a regular spot, I expect him to play U20 hockey for most of the time this spring as well which will probably make him go quite late in the draft. He actually scored in his first SEL game last year but has not played since.
 
Great skill, very slick hands, lethal shot, fast and goes to the dirty areas and has good hockeyiq and helps the defense. Smallish stature but i like him alot. Not sure if he's 1st round talent in this year deep draft but he could be rough diamond of this draft and could be top players for this draft if everything pans out.
 
He's a pretty all-round talent, and more of a shooter than passer. It wouldn't have hurt his game if he was a tad bigger. Lack of international competition will probably hurt his chances of a high draft position. He's too old for the U18 and not good enough for the U20 this year. He was terrific last year though. 2nd-3rd rounder?
 
Gustav didn't travel with the U20 team on its road trip and practised with the senior team today. He could see some ice time in tomorrow's SEL game between Modo and Timrå.
 
last post was in november of 2012- any updates on this prospect from people who have watched him play?

Keep in mind he started the season maybe as high as a fringe first rounder and my post was in November. He pretty much didn't progress at the J20 level, and had no men's time to speak of either. Not gonna say I watched all of his games but the couple of times I did he held on to the puck too much, but his speed was outstanding. He's got some raw potential. Still thinking he can go in the top4 rounds, the new four year draft rights will benefit a guy like him.
 
Is the SweHl the a new name for the SEl or are they different leagues?
