wshdrvvn Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 The Allsvenskan is to the SEL what the AHL is to the NHL, so since the the SEL is a level down from the NHL, I'd say the Allsvenskan league is a bit of a step down from the AHL. I'm not sure how it would compare to the NCAA. College hockey is just a different beast altogether. if only crap NHL teams could get relegated, then we'd be set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Vancouver Canucks President & General Manager Michael D. Gillis announced today that the Canucks have signed forward Ludwig Blomstrand to an entry-level contract. So I guess he's going with Michael D. Gillis now. I would have gone with the GM formerly known as Mike Gillis, but I guess this works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stexx Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 every prospect signing, the same thing, everyone loves him and hes going to pan out and be the next steal from a draft. well that is the hope, they are just kids and signing a pro-contract is the first realization of their dream starting to come true. Everyone should hope that a kid can reach his potential and do what he loves to the best of his abilities. Not sure why anyone would debbie downer that but to each their own.

Squeak Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Any word on where Blomstrand is being assigned? No official word - his ELC starts next season. I *believe* he is going to sign a ATO with Chicago for the remainder of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 He looks really, really good. 4:10 was swag also, for the first 35 seconds he's #21 he got traded and is #23 for the rest of the vid. he ended playing top line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I remember reading that he out-scored Filip Forsberg..... Obviously Forsberg is 17 months younger and the Allsvenskan - but not something to ignore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 So the plan is for him to finish the season in North America? Man, if that's true the Wolves are getting some serious reinforcements in the last little while. Jensen, Lain, Price and Blomstrand will make them much tougher to play against. If we can add Tommernes to the mix, it would be awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
