Interesting pick. Fast, two-way player who is seen as a good puck retriever and not afraid to go to the dirty areas. Sort of reads like Cogs if the offensive ability doesn't develop too much.

Be interesting to see how his offensive game goes with a full season in the SHL.

Nice call, Madden made the same comp

Looks like he has a go-to goal celebration move, spinning his stick.

Love everything I've read about this prospect. I'll temper my expectations, but...

It's ridiculous how much he resembles William Karlsson from the skating, stickhandling to smarts, dangling, even his posture.

I wonder if their heights are actually identical despite their listings having a 1 inch difference, perhaps it's just to throw the anti-cloners off scent.

Two-way center is my dream. Someone who can contribute on both offense and defense: Getzlaf, Kesler, Rucchin, Koivu - love those guys and that archetype.
