Popular Post Herberts Vasiljevs Posted January 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2021 5 hours ago, Fred65 said: Costmar played well considering he's in tough. While so many of the Swedish team are recognized as being good, Costmar has to prove himself shift in shift out. I think he did well with the ice time he gets. I could see him doing well in the CHL ? he's on the edge of success could go either way I don't understand your infatuation with the CHL and why you'd want to see him play there? This bottom-6 pest role, which we'd all arguably like to see him play in, is the exact role he's getting right now with his SHL club. I'd rather just keep him there as he can further learn to grow into that role playing against men. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes more sense for him to compete with men as opposed to kids. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 1 hour ago, HockeyHarry said: Costmar was a very pleasant surprise against Russia hope he can keep it up. He reminds me of ex Canuck Jarkko Ruutu, but a smaller thinner version.....he can really drive the other team crazy. looking forward too seeing this kid play more this world jrs. Not as yappy as Jarkko or Tikkanen, but an agitator just the same. How often does a Swede draw this many comparisons with Fins? That's a good thing in my books. Great pick, whether or not he ultimately makes our team (but I think he will). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead80 Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 That’s gotta suck. Draw a penalty shot, don’t get selected to take it and the other guy loses the puck into the corner 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 This kid is having a heck of a tournament. He's a blast to watch out there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post runtzguy Posted January 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2021 Watched this kid play in several WJC games now and was thinking he was really good and wondered if he was draft eligible this year. Then Ray Ferraro mentions he is a Vancouver draft pick 3 1 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boudrias Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I thought Costmar had strong games against the Russians and again last night against the Americans. The way he was playing the Swedish coach should have let him take the penalty shot. Coach must like what he sees as Costmar was getting PP time. He was noticeable most shifts.

KirkSave Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Who knows what the future holds or if his game would translate to the NHL. With his tenacity, puck hounding and in your face style, down the road he could be a good 3rd or 4th line center for us. 2-3 years from now, this could be a great in your face line that could check and score (Lind-Costmar-Macewan) Hope he continues to work on his faceoffs, which is already a strength he has displayed in the wjc. I won't be surprised if he has a big impact on the upcoming match against Finland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post NHL'er Posted January 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2021 Prior to a faceoff during the second period, Abramov lined up against Swedish forward Arvid Costmar and they had to be reset a couple of times, with Abramov knocking Costmar over prior to the drop of the puck on one occasion. When play did resume, Costmar and Abramov continued to battle off of the draw with Costmar tying up Abramov’s stick and managing to avoid a penalty call. Cleary frustrated, Abramov trailed Costmar into the defensive zone where he delivered a sneaky slew foot to the Vancouver Canucks prospect who did a good job of baiting Abramov into a poor decision. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devron Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Costmar has too much heart to not play in the NHL. I could very well see him play in a bottom six role. Hope to see him on the Canucks in a few years. congrats on being one of Sweden’s best players 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NHL'er Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Add one more to that - Costmar named one of the Swedes top 3 players of the tournament! Arvid one of the 3 best Swedes! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rekker Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 (edited) Another good game by Costmar but a Swedish loss. Their stars were average and their goaltending less than average. Edited January 2, 2021 by rekker 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Millsy Posted January 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2021 Our 7th round draft pick in the 2019 NHL entry draft, #215 overall, was just named one of team Sweden’s top 3 players of the WJHC. Edmonton drafted Broberg in the first round, #8 overall. He was not a top 3 player. GMJB out GM’d again! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just be my bias against the coilers though lol. Soderstrom would have been a better pick for them imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
