I agree with you dr-nix, he does remind me alot of Zetterberg too. I'd say he has those flashy moves if he wants to but so far he's playing pretty easy and safe.

Anyone surprised that Adam Almqvist didn't make the cut? Or was that expected?
I don't know enough to say whether it was a big disappointment for him. I imagine it was a situation where they felt they had enough offensive defenseman with Rundblad, OEL and possibly Karlsson.
Can anyone comment?

Sounds like a solid pick for Edmonton. I can't wait the see him and MPS in the world juniors!
To be completely honest, I'd say he's ready for the big thing next season. And if Oilers manage not to screw him up he'll be a big name for years to come and a future leader. He's already an alternate captain for his team in Elitserien. Being a second round pick I'd say he will turn out to be a steal.
Strangely enough, there's no player on the Swedish squad that is eligible for the 2010 draft. Well, maybe not that overly strange since the 2010 draft is expected to be way weaker than the 2009 draft, from a swedish perspective.
A total of only five undrafted players. Larsson that is eligible 2011 and then Kilstrom, Lundberg, Brodin & Rasmussen who didnt get drafted during the previous drafts. I wonder if any of those four will shine enough at JWC to get drafted. I doubt it, but it's not impossible.

2nd round Chlapik!
I was just going to ask about this, too bad, I guess this Victor Ohman kid was not considered? Can anyone give me the low down on him?
Finally I'll get to see Rodin play. One of our most intriguing prospects that we don't have a lot of actual eye witness accounts on.
Doubt he will get big minutes, I like him though so I wouldnt mind him ripping it up in the WJC

Some minutes > not seeing him at all.

Could anyone give an account on how Jakob Silfverberg and Andre Petersson have played this far this year? I've also heard that Petersson has grown a little bit and his skating has improved. Anyone able to confirm?
Petersson improved ALOT since last year, I think he will be a good one. Last year I had my doubts him even making the NHL...

With a name like Kihlstrom, I'd hope he'd be a good option.
Canada, gold
Sweden, silver
who cares, bronze

You think he has the potential to be a big name player and not just some average
2nd-3rd liner like he's projected to be? This is the first time that i'm hearing Zetterberg comparisons.... I certainly hope you're right
Kihlström is pronounced Shiilström
Definately not. Its pronounced more like Cheelstrom.
Funny... I learned it'd be scheehlstroom.
Wait... how would they say it in Skâne?

Btw, you often see misspellings of Rundblad on this board. The funniest one is Runbald. Some months ago it seemed like he was growing a volume mane but I've seen his hair is shorter now. Too bad, it would have been a great trademark
