He will come in and compete for a roster spot this season. Impressive work by Allvin & company. Signed for one more year in sweden, then coming over. We'll see him in the young stars this season though, according to the pr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So last pick doesn't get a 2nd round pick, they get bumped to 3rd round? Seems weird. The last pick is still in the 2nd round but there will be 33 picks that round. Instead of starting at 65th overall (2x 32), the 3rd round starts with 66th overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putgolzin Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Great news though - always happy to have some free prospects. In quick research, apparently he Patrick White-d his way into the first round based on a reputation of big time hockey smarts.

HKSR Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Well, JR/PA are doing what they said they would... finding talent in Europe and college levels. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And continuing the Benning-era strategy of signing dozens of RHD for cheap hoping one or two will catch lightning. Schenn was a homerun. Hamonic not. And then the dozen or so that stayed in the AHL last year may still come around if they don't sign elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 A RD who was drafted in the first round and who is still pretty young, considering our lack of RD prospects it seems like a good gamble even if we give up a pick. We've been asking for RD who can focus on D, sounds like we went and signed one. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 15 minutes ago, NucknAsia said: Only 22 The description in the PR gives me a Tanevesque vible. Point total suggest the same (defensive dman - 11 pts in 46 / 47 games last two seasons). But he did have 7 pts in 9 playoff games this year which is impressive. A free 6'1 RD who can play like Tanev is good enough for me! Gradin would likely have had some input here as well and is well known to be a stellar scout for us. 22 years old? Even better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact if I recall there's a gem of a local kid in the NCAA playing RHD that is looking for a home..... getting ready for forsberg to sign. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely looks like some burgers need to be on the menu haha...but we know that Seems to be very mobile Seems to have a nice shot, hard slap shot, accurate wrister and seems to have a very good one timer. Alot to like there, particularly if he's a defensive dman as advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I changed it...I realized we just signed him...so technically he must be our property....Given his size, they probably think its better for him to keep playing there and put on some muscle before coming to NA.

Looks to me that he is a longer term project. Definitely needs to get stronger. I like him staying in Sweden, home cooking, maturing, getting stronger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
