Is Mattias Ekholm too old?
I think Little Klingberg is going to make it. There's a serious lack of right-handed defensemen on the roster.Stars fan here checking in on our recent Swedish draft picks. Of those here who have watched Nemeth and John Klingberg, what can they tell me about their chances. I see a poster above says Nemeth is injured, but I'm not sure if it's bad enough to keep him out, if he would have made the team.
Thanks, any information is appreciated.

Nemeth is a lock if healthy...
Is he just that solid of a defender? I've seen him described by others in this thread as "great" or "solid" defensively. How would he compare to a young Grossman?
How good is Calle Järnkrok? I hate to ask this as a Wings fan, but, I really don't know much about him because I have been busy following Teemu Pulkkinen.. So how would the WJC Sweden experts rate him as a player and possible peak?
This question might have been answered already, but why did Victor Rask not get a shot?
Sweden is loaded at defense. 4 former 1st round picks(if Karlsson is released, I don't think he will be), and another in Larsson that is going to be a top 3 pick this year.
Victor Rask is an center not a defender.
Järnkrok has been simply fantastic this season, likely to become a better player than Pulkkinen in my opinion.
He's got some great hands, making amacing plays on the rush and in the powerplay. He also has a great release on his wristshot and real good footspeed.
He needs to improve his slapshot, positioning in the defensive zone and his strength along the boards to become a full-time NHL'er but there's no reason to believe that he won't be a solid second liner in the NHL that could put up around 60-70 points per season.
You must be joking? How is järnkrok likely to become better? Right now järnkrok cannot even be mentioned in the same sentence.
Even just by looking at stats there is no question who is a greater prospect.
Teemu Pulkkinen
