Other Notable Rangers:

 

Filip Chytil - CZE (2017 1st Round Pick)

Olof Lindbom - SWE (2018 2nd Round Pick)

Lauri Pajuniemi - FIN (2018 5th Round Pick)

= Has appeared in 15 games with TPS (Liiga) and played in some junior tournaments this past summer, but is not on Finland's preliminary roster. Can't confirm, but I think he is hurt too.

 

Calle Sjalin - SWE (2017 5th Round Pick)

= Looks like another injury. Hasn't played a game this year with Leksands IF (Allsvenskan). Not sure he'd make the team if healthy, but he is eligible.

Lead Dmen under 20 in points. League wide, he?s 30-something in points among dmen. He?s coming along.

 

Erik Karlsson put up 10 points in 45 games the year after being drafted ged

 

Hard to complain, not compare when talking about a teen playing defense against men.

 

Much different world than juniors or even college

The fact Lundkvist plays every night for Lulea at 18 is testament to his quality.

He'll be a solid NHL player. Probably lacks the offense to get people excited, but he's got the tools to be a valuable asset in a few years time.

 

So far all 3 of this years 1sts looks to be good picks and all developing well, good to see.

 

Your describtion of him (combined with him being a right handed swedish D) its hard to not compare him with Str?lman. Is that a good comparison you think? Or could he be even better than that?

 

Does sound like the "perfect" partner for K'andre Miller tho

Based on?

 

An Owen Sound season ticket holder I smoke weed with a couple Friday nights a year.

 

And Vodka saying he was a healthy scratch

 

And him being passed over in his initial draft year.

 

In short, based in nothing but I still think I'm right.

Dunny, what's the inside Canadian scoop with Lavoie getting the call over Dach?

 

I don't need to be an insider to know that Hockey Canada would have at least two Quebecois on their roster even if it meant they were Bantam House League players.

 

There's a rarely a Hockey Canada roster I agree with.

I think they're mostly incompetent. It's like a Standard Oile Exec thinking they're smarter than everybody at the turn of the 20th century.

 

These are the people running the Edmonton Oilers for fuck sakes.
