I can definitely see Yzerman taking Elias Salomonsson in the 2nd round.
aliens just invaded california 👽
Hey Lego! It is a minor nitpick but Skellefteå is pronounced Shell-eft-eh-oh.
It's ok swedish has weird language conventions compared to english.
So it sounds like Salomonsson could either be the next Victor Hedman or Olli Juolevi? That scares the heck out of me, if I'm a GM.
hes super young almost a 2023 draftee not 22 by 2 weeks
ok that he worked on defense game over offense i see this kid as a steal watch him light it up in sweden next yr hooefully canucks get a bunch more extra picks hed be a grrat steal in second
I think az takes him with the last pick in the 1 round
Very exciting prospect
Wouldn't be a bad idea for Hughes to take this guy at 62nd or 66th overall if he's still available then.
he is right to focus on his defence skills….the offensive side is always there
