It's reasonable to expect a fourth-rounder to be a sole point-per-game scorer; their entire team doesn't have a single ppg player! what a bust

forgot /s

It's reasonable to expect a fourth rounder never to become even an AHLer, much less a good bet to make the big club. If Alriksson is going to justify expectations that he'll outperform his draft status, he needs to start producing points.

But he's never going to be a productive offensive guy
a pure 4th liner at best!

Has been in the top 6 for a few games now (Not playing true top 6 mins though). Nice to see him grabbing a big point, and hopefully he can continue to gain his coaches trust!

Obviously there are more than just top flight offensive players amongst prospects. But there is a lot of evidence to support the fact that players - especially forwards - who make the NHL usually have at least one season of point per game plus offensive prowess in junior ranks. There will always be outliers, and Alriksson’s physical tool box will certainly see him get some opportunities and looks, but the promise there certainly will magnify if he can be a consistent top offensive player at the junior level.

Guelph getting shut out today so far in the 3rd. Such a different game against the London knights... such a dull game. The top line with Alrikkson that they are now calling the LAN LINE not looking connected this game.

Could have been a highlight goal by Alriksson when he when around one player and split the defense but alas, couldn't pick the corner.

I gave you a like, but I would have prefaced what you said with "probably". His strange skillset and size says he has a real chance at being an outlier.
