I definitely do not mind another year in Sweden.
Take it slow and let him really iron out flaws where he’s comfortable.
It also allows Anaheim to likely secure one more top 7 pick to cap off the rebuild - not that that should be a consideration for where he plays
Come, Oct 14th like to see him with the Ducks for at least that 9 game stint, and circle Oct 24th on your calendar since it‘s within the 9 game cup of coffee. Two raw prospects not sure what to expect in that game. Lol.
My concern is how this team will be next season, if Verbeek is adding more support or not. We have to be better next season but still may not be the competitive atmosphere we want for the 2ndOA pick.
Not sure how the rules work, but if he signs an ELC, plays 9 games with the Ducks, can he still be loaned to the SHL? I know his ELC won’t kick in to the following year. I know they did that with Mac, but that’s the OHL.
