Because he's staying over in Sweden until at least the prospect tournament in June or July.

He won't be coming over until their season ends in 2025 since he's staying in the SHL for another year.

That's dumb.

Why? It's a mens league equivalent. And he is NOT NHL ready.

Edvinsson, Johansson, Mazur, and Berggren all come up.  That puts our prospect pool at:

Cossa, Augustine

ASP, Wallinder, Buium, Tuomisto, Gibson

Danielson, Kasper, Lombardi, Buchelnikov

We need a good draft here up front.  Larkin is the only guy in the entire organization with speed.  Time to start drafting some burners and developing them.

Eiserman. The D will come.

Both Danielson and Kasper can fly, not sure where you’re getting “Larkin is the only guy with speed”.

I'd rather have Kasper or Danielson than mazur

Yah, problem is the GM and coach have to fight the talent vs eligibility/contract status battle.  Kasper and Danielson won't see more than 8/9 games this year in the NHL if they see any at all.

Dude, no.  Just no.  Danielson and Kasper are GOOD skaters.  Not great skaters.  Larkin is a great skater.  We need another great skater or 2.

Plenty of room on the roster for Kasper. I suspect he stays up.

This guy is another Filip Zadina.  I'm a hard pass on Eiserman.  Gotta get someone who creates.  We have nothing but "Finishers" and "Defensively Responsible Players" on this team.  That's our issue.  We need another burner that can go goal line to goal line and back the opponent's defenders off.  Larkin does this.  We need another one.

I hope so.  I like that guy.

We had one. His name was AA. He sucked.

yah, agreed.  I'll correct myself.  We need 3 more so we get 1 good one when it all shakes out.  Better?

Im not convinced any of our D prospects our future top4s besides ASP. Wouldn't mind drafting more of those.

Seider/Edvinsson right now.

ASP is a huge maybe as of today.  No reason to get excited about him until he shows what he can do on a NA rink in GR.  Right now, it's just ice capades over Sven land.  That doesn't always translate to Norris Nick.

Depending how the board shakes out I wouldnt hate Solberg. Could use a LH Seider lite. Still think this team should be swinging for the fences for offense in the 1st round though. Jiri jr would be a nice swing in that same mold in the 2nd/3rd round.
