Oh for sure. He’s appatently received high praise in scouting reports of late and lots of chatter expecting him to come over to NA before the end of the season. His club team plays their final regular season game March 14, though his team is currently in 9th and looking at a play in for the final playoff spot.
|
To me, it's no different than every year teams falling all over themselves to sign these college free agents. He's playing pro hockey in a good league against men and doing well vs playing against a bunch of kids. I don't know if he actually makes it but worth a shot.
|
This is the kind of signing that no one cares about in any but the hot bed markets like Edmonton. He's got a chance at being an NHLer...and it's a reasonable gamble with little risk. But it's not much of a story.
|
But. But. He’s playing on the same team that the Canucks ‘saviour’ Pettersson played on!
|
It's like how the sportswriters like to compare every Swedish defenceman coming in to the league as possibly another Nick Lidstrom...
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
