i checked TSN's Sweden link and they changed it from Preliminary roster to just Sweden roster have they made final cuts yet?
They have indeed.i checked TSN's Sweden link and they changed it from Preliminary roster to just Sweden roster have they made final cuts yet?
Just a tips for all fellow swedes. At hockeytoday.se there's a 58 page pdf magazine covering basically everything about the World Juniors (stats and comments for all players). And it's for free. Just a tip I though I'd share
How has Patrik Nemeth look so far??
Victor Rask is supposed to be a top prospect, how did he not make the team?
Becuse he is extremly overrated.
He is not even good enough to get draft.
I don't understand the hype..
Interesting. Thanks for the insight. Everything that I read about him just simply stated he is slated to be a first round pick in this year's draft but gives no reasoning why. I couldn't find any solid scouting report on him and his stats in the SEL look pretty crappy. My very first thought when looking for info on him was that he seemed to be pretty overrated and not making the junior team for Sweden just supports that. Every now and than you'll get players like this. Should be interesting to see IF/when he gets drafted in June.
Don't listen to landskronala, according to him all players suck. Rask will at worst get drafted early 2nd.
Okay fair enough, thanks for clarifying. Can you explain the lack of scouting reports on him, the weak stats and not making Team Sweden?
Only 6 draft eligible players made the team, so him not making was hardly a surprise.
His stats or are not horrible, they are actually better than for example Patrik Berglund and Mikael Backlund had in the same league, both former 1st rounders.
Well, that's their top junior team. SuperElit is the top U20 league.Hockeydb shows 0 pts in 8 games for Leksand IF but eliteprospects.com shows 41 pts in 39 games for Leksand J20 (what does this mean) but only 8 pts in 27 games for Leksand this season but 5 pts in 2 games for Leksand J20.

Ah okay nevermind, I got mixed up. For some reason hockeydb doesn't show his full stats from last season and doesn't have any stats on him for this season at all. Hockeydb shows 0 pts in 8 games for Leksand IF but eliteprospects.com shows 41 pts in 39 games for Leksand J20 (what does this mean) but only 8 pts in 27 games for Leksand this season but 5 pts in 2 games for Leksand J20.
Wow, Swedish hockey is so damn confusing. Why so many teams? Makes it very difficult to go through stats.
Viktor Rasks stats in Allsvenskan is actually pretty solid. He is ranked seventh on the alltime list for 17-year olds playing in SEL-2, with half the season left to play. His eight poins doesn´t sound impressive at all, but you got to consider that firstrounders like Berglund and Backlund only had 6 points in this league as 17-year olds. Rask actually holds the record for most points scored by a 16-year old ever in Superelit. I really excpected more from this kid though and was a bit dissapointed when i watched his first couple of games for Leksand. But he have actually looked better and better over the season. His skating could be better, but he works hard, have a good shot and I have seen him do some spectacular stuff. If he starts to produce a bit more and have a good u18 wjc he will end up as a firstrounder. wing5 is wrong about Berglund producing well as a 17-year old in SEL-2, but Berglund had a amazing breakout season the year after he was drafted putting up 48 points, he is right about Oel though.
