Things not looking good for big Johan lately. Playing on the fourth line the last 4-5 games. He looked good tonight though with the increased ice time. One of few players on Frölunda who showed some heart today...in the 3-3 tie against Malmö. Ryno's team is now sitting second last in the standings...

Well, if he has a breakout year, I wouldn't want to see him leave Frölunda, even if it's for the Wings organization. I don't think that rule applies to players drafted before 2005. Anton was drafted in '04, so I think the year he needs to be signed is 2008. Could be wrong, though.

Hope not. He's probably just on a hot streak.

Well, after an opening night loss (5-2), Frölunda started out just as bad in their first home game. Ryno was pretty dominant and pulled off a few nice moves, but then something happened in a corner. Ryno got a minor penalty and a 10-minute misconduct for 'checking to the head' after that incident. Then he didn't play much more and was put on Frölunda's 'young line' along with Patrik Carlsson and Oilers property Fredrik Johansson. Don't really know what line he'll play on Saturday in Karlstad, the hometown of reigning champions Färjestad.

Sorry if this already has been posted... http://www.forecaster.ca/thestar/hockey/ne...gespec=20060919 What would it take to get him to Detroit?

Opening night at 1 PM EST for Frölunda! They'll play away against Linköping, now featuring former NHL goaltender Roman Cechmanek. Frölunda shook up their lines after losing in the last pre-season game (against Malmö), hence Johan Ryno will be playing with Swiss National Team center Martin Plüss and young, undrafted winger Patrik Carlsson (please don't draft him, NHL, he'll be good ). Some pics from the Malmö game: Ryno playing defense? Ryno gets an assist on the 1-0 goal He's not afraid of crashing the net!

When Näslund and Forsberg have been linemates on Team Sweden, they haven't played very well. Just some food for thought...

He won't return to Denver. He signed an entry-level deal in the end of the 05/06 season and played 23 games for the Sharks as a rookie. He might actually QB San Jose's first PP unit this year.

In English people probably should pronounce it "REE-noo". The Swedish Y sound is pretty hard for Enligsh spoken to say, I think.

Frölunda faced Finnish team Tappara on Friday night. Steve Kariya scored the 2-1 GW for Frölunda after 16 secs of OT. Ryno had another strong showing with four shots on goal. He was held off the scoresheet, though...

Last night Frölunda beat Finish HIFK at home, 5-2 was the final score. On former Tampa center Martin Cibák's 1-0 goal, Ryno got an assist along with Jonas Esbjörs. This was a power-play goal. Ryno was at the halfboards, then passed it to Esbjörs in the corner. Esbjörs skated forward a bit and set up Cibák with a beautiful feed. Ryno also got a game misconduct. This was during a Frölunda PP too. Ryno crashed the net after a point shot from Dallas prospect Jonas Fransson, and just barely touched HIFK goalie Janne Lundell. Then some idiot on HIFK just jumped Ryno from behind and cross-checked him in the neck. A brawl (with gloves on) started. The idiot who cross-checked Ryno got ejected for cross-checking. That was perfectly fine. But then, Ryno was thrown out of the game as well. For CHARGING. How can a player get ejected for just touching the opposing goalie? Stupid, gutless, Swedish refs...

Like Montreal would trade him...

Frölunda played their fourth game of the pre-season today, losing to Swedish champions Färjestad. Playing with vet Jonas Esbjörs and 16-year-old Dane Mikkel Bödker on the Red Unit, Ryno scored Frölunda's second goal in the game. That goal put Frölunda a goal behind heading into the third, but Färjestad scored TWO shorthanded goals and went on to win 5-3. Also, a note: Ryno's playing with #61 on his back, since his favorite number (19) is retired by Frölunda.

Tucker only makes like $1.6M. Leafs won't trade HIM for cap room. And it'd probably take more than a 3rd rounder to get it done.

Well... Frölunda has now played two games of the Nordic Trophy pre-season tournament. In the opening game Ryno couldn't help seeing his team collapse against Kärpät in Oulu, Finland. Frölunda took an enormous beating and lost 9-0. Today Ryno played on a line with '82 born Karl Fabricius (who almost signed with Philly in June) and '84 born Edmonton center prospect Fredrik Johansson. Don't know how well Johan played in that game, but he went pointless as his team lost 5-4. Too bad the coaching staff (including former NHLer Calle Johansson) didn't stick him with speedy 5-foot-5 Steve Kariya who he seemingly found some chemistry with during the first game... Those two looked hilarious skating together because of the size differnce.

Are you kidding? Gagne wants like 5.5 mil, right? Well, Näslund makes 6 mil and is older, slower and a worse two-way player. What?

No. He practically had every goalie 'available' going to the Wings -- so he's gotta guess right some time.

Hey. Kenny Jönsson is NOT going to play in the NHL the upcoming season. He'll be playing with his hometown Rögle BK in Sweden. It's time for people to understand that.

I am, though. He's contracted to my SEL team (Frölunda) and will most likely be the no. 7 or 8 defenseman on the roster. He's got a good two-way game, likes to rough it up a bit and often joins the rush. I don't think he'll be picked until the 3rd round or so. Many fans have compared him to former Frölunda d-man Sami Salo because of his tremendous composure in the back-end. Here's his Elite Prospects profile.

In no order: Erik Johnson, D (USA) Phil Kessel, C (USA) Jonathan Toews, C (CAN) Nicklas Bäckström, C (SWE) Jordan Staal, C (CAN)

Yes. Of course.

Wings prospect winger Johan Ryno leaves the tier-II in Sweden and will play for reigning Swedish champions Frolunda next season. Thought I'd just let y'all know... Hockey's Future Profile Elite Prospects Profile I'm a Frolunda season ticket holder, so I might be able to hook ya up with hot reports on Ryno next year.

Stefan Liv is currently rumored to be headed to Russia and play for CSKA Moscow. Just giving you the message...
