Scouting Report: Simon Robertsson - Smaht Scouting

No idea how he fell this far.

Watched him a lot, and this is a complete steal.

~1000 words from myself on him here.

 

[LastWordArmy]

Swedish winger Simon Robertsson had a strong season in the Skelleftea system, proving that he is one to watch for the 2021 NHL Draft. Robertsson played 22 games with the SHL club, but limited ice time led to him only putting up one goal and one assist. However, he dominated in the Under-20 league. Robertsson put up nine goals and 11 assists for 20 points in 15 games. This led the North Division in points. He also was loaned out to lower league squad Pitea HC, where he put up two goals and an assist for three points in seven games. He also added three assists in five playoff games.

[ItWasJustified]

Comes from the same organization as Oskar Sundqvist and plays pretty similar too but with a much better shot that is lethal. Could be an absolute steal.

 

[Spektre]

The Draft Analyst had him ranked 17th overall. I’d be curious how he felt to the 3rd round.

What an absolute steal

I would crave a Sundqvist clone

I would crave a Sundqvist clone

He’s definitely not as big as Sunny

Thanks for sharing Appleyard, always enjoy reading your scouting reports!

 

[BadgersandBlues]

He’s definitely not as big as Sunny

He's not as big as Sundqvist.....yet

 

[ItWasJustified]

He’s definitely not as big as Sunny

He can play big, and he has a mean streak in him that Sundqvist doesn't have.

 

[Bluesfan54]

He’s definitely not as big as Sunny

He’s still a teenager, plenty of growth time left.

Very true. Maybe he’ll be like Parayko and Blais and a grow a couple more inches. You never know. I read he has a good frame so he’ll definitely add more weight.

Nice write up and it appears to be a steal but time will tell

Fantastic selection, believe Bob had him at #32. Key is the team selected an asset that can develop or be traded. Shooter than plays
a 200 foot game. Hopefully he can transition to the NHL.

 

[LetsGoBooze]

Love adding scorers, great trade up to snag this kid. With our first 2 picks, feeling better about the farm already.

 

[simon IC]

I am very happy with this pick. Not a bad draft so far.

Best scouting quote I’ve heard:

His best asset is his release. He shoots as hard as a horse kicks. Works hard., Anders Eriksén (HC) 2020

@EastonBlues22 @simon IC @Alklha can we stick on one prospect thread for player?

Holy Moly - this mock had him at #18 overall - definitely a steal. Nice work Blues

Nashville Predators: Simon Robertsson, LW (Skelleftea, SHL) — First-year draft eligibles in European elite leagues are known for scoring well below the rates of their peers in North American junior circuits, which is why Robertsson should be evaluated on his promise far more than his meager league production. He’s big, quick, aggressive and boasts an elite wrist shot. The Predators have had an issue finishing the last few seasons and Robertsson is the type of prospect who will help rectify it sooner than later.

 

[BlueDream]

Seems like a good player to trade up for.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Great pick guys! He should have been a mid 1st IMO. I think he will be a player.

 

[CoMoBlues]

He can play big, and he has a mean streak in him that Sundqvist doesn't have.

Also his body may not be referred to as ‘a bag of milk’ like Sunny has!

 

[ChicagoBlues]

The Draft Analyst had him ranked 17th overall. I’d be curious how he felt to the 3rd round.

Ditto

 

[Robb_K]

An excellent draft considering they picked in the very middle of only 4 rounds, and didn't have a 2nd Rounder. They got good value in each of their 4 choices.

 

[Celtic Note]

This is one of those picks you have to feel good about given where he was taken.
