Give the kid a chance to at least reach puberty before expecting an adult. had the same thought, looking a bit bambi out there. A really skilled bambi. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice first period for him, looks like he fits in just fine and is clearly one of the more offensively creative players in the game. Also nice to see Lias get a goal too. The young Swedes are showing the world they are on their way! I'm surprised they didn't enforce the suspension in this tourney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Too many penalties = not enough EP. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true of the 2nd period, but I think SWE played eight six of those 20 minutes on the PK. Edited May 4, 2018 by Down by the River Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty sad to be honest. Sheltering him some I guess. It sounds like he is doing pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like he is doing pretty good. There was one play in the first where Sweden was on the PP and EP made a bit of a risk move in his own zone when he was last man back. That could have got him in a bit of trouble with a coach that isn't in love with him as much as EP's Vaxjo coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroCanuck Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 You can tell he has all the skill one could ask for, but he doesn't look physically ready. Far to easy to push off the puck and looks like he may of just gotten hurt because of it.(2min into third) I think we may need to lower our expectations of him next year. Might not hurt for him to start in Utica, play centre and get stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking like they're on the PP at 5 on 5 sometimes here in the second. You can tell Elias is hungry to create something everytime he has the puck on his stick. Once his teammates gel with him a little I think we'll see him start scoring in bunches. Yea agree his chemistry with klingberg there seemed off last couple shifts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darius Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 Backlund is his center....Backlund was PK'ing a lot in the second...by the time the penalty is over and Backlund is rested little time was left for EP in the second. Also, agree with some of the other posters here. Kid needs to get stronger. If its a puck battle on the board he gets bumped around easily.

Might not hurt for him to start in Utica, play centre and get stronger. The only problem is our team is bad and we now have roster spots up for grabs. It’s hard for me to see a scenario where Elias isn’t one of the best players in training camp. How do you tell the kid that’s worked his whole life to get to this point and he’s visibly better than the majority of the guys you’re keeping ahead of him and send him down. Feel like it’s a bad message to him and fans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like it’s a bad message to him and fans. If its better for his development to dominate and gain strength in the AHL then thats what matters. He has a pace on the team when he's ready, no doubt about that. As it is there are other rookies that may make the jump and UFAs/free agents that can be signed as stopgaps/trade pieces for a year. Gaudette for one will be able to take a centre spot and then you have guys like MacEwen, Dahlen an Goldobin fighting for spots. Baer-Bo-Boeser Eriksson-Gaudette-Virtanen Goldy-Sutter-Granlund Leipsic-Gaunce-UFA/rookie Trade and incorporate NHL ready rookies as the season goes on. Utica Dahlen-Pettersson-Lind Motte-MacEwen-Jasek gadj-Chaput-Palmu Edited May 4, 2018 by RetroCanuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
