Jägermeister Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Just so everyone knows, the Allsvenskan is not exactly a great league. This years top 3 scoring leaders consisted of AHL rejects Evan McGrath, Jared Aulin, and Matt Fornatano. I'd expect Ludwig to compete for an AHL job next year if he decides to come over, but he's quite a ways away from making a push for the NHL.

Soderberg is widely regarded as one of the best players in that league, and he's expected to be a 3rd liner for the Bruins when he comes over.

Blomstrand's attributes aren't in his offensive game anyways though. He's a feisty two way checker that can skate like the wind. It's his hustle that will earn him a spot on the Wolves. And hopefully in time he will develop his offensive game, much like Hansen did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point was - the players that are leading the league are older players. Should we write off Jensen because he didn't lead the league? Same argument for Blomstrand.... these two are 20 years old and JUST starting to play against men.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Blomstrad will be our Hansen, solid pick MG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal:thecup Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Thanks for the video. He seems to be heads-up and moving his feet. Pretty good size and great skating; probably coachable too. Can't wait to see what the AHL does for him. The Hansen comparability seems well-founded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same argument for Blomstrand.... these two are 20 years old and JUST starting to play against men.... I said he would compete for an AHL job, how is that writing him off? Especially since, as you said, he is just 20 years old. I was just stating the Allsvenskan wasn't exactly a quality league, and if run-of-the-mill AHL talent like Matt Fornataro can dominate, then that proves that.

Sundin + Luongo =Cup Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 if this guy makes the Canucks, Don Taylor will have fun w/ his name: "and Ludwig Beethovens one against the Blues, no less!

stonecoldstevebernier Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Posted this in the Lain thread, figured I'd post it here too. Blomstrand's here in Vancouver, along with Kellan Lain - taking in tonight's game as well as tomorrow's before heading off to Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Peter Andersson got send down to the Allsevenkan league the year before playing for the Wolves and didn't exactly dominate (6 points in 30 games) but this season he has had a solid rookie campaign, pushing himself above Sauve and Polasek on the depth chart. It would be nice to see Blomstrand come in and do the same, maybe a 20-25 point rookie campaign with some physical play? Hansen scored 12 goals 34 points as an AHL rookie.

That would definitely be nice but right now it's hard to make projections l, for myself anyways, cause we don't know where the kids will play next year (which AHL affliate) and of Arniel will still be coaching. I really hope we replace arniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kassassin Train Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Stupid racist man is stupid racist 1.) that's not racist....that's being a stereotype.... 2.) the bunch of words you put together don't even make a sentence so are you sure you want to be using the word 'stupid' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Awesome as we continue to be the soft nice team to play against Lain and Blomstrand are not exactly soft, if that's what you're trying to get at... Stupid racist man is stupid racist I'll try to give "Chuck in the Truck" the benefit of the doubt here. Maybe he's actually being sincere? He could be saying that this signing is "awesome" because, unlike many players on the current roster (in Chuck's opinion, that is), Blomstrand plays a game that is neither "soft" nor "nice." He's arguably grittier than many of the Canucks' recent North American draft picks and having him in the system improves the team's depth in the toughness and physicality department. Maybe "Chuck" actually thinks this is a step in the right direction? Could be the case, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
