NHL Entry Draft

[Hockeyfrilla]

How is the draft shaping up from a swedish perpective? weak/solid/good?

Wich players are "locks" to be selected? Lists are welcome

[Fregus]

As for the first round, I think we can expect something like this:

Filip Forsberg - 3-5
Sebastian Collberg - 10-15
Pontus Åberg - 15-20
Ludvig Byström - 20-35

Wild cards:

Dansk and Lindholm.

So, probably worse than 2011 and 2009 but still a very good draft in terms of top talent.

[Dolorous Edd]

Don't have much knowledge about any of the top prospects, just wanted to post some links with Central Scouting rankings:

#1 (European Skaters) Filip Forsberg, Leksand
#2 Sebastian Collberg, Frölunda
#4 Pontus Åberg, Djurgården
#6 Hampus Lindholm, Rögle
#8 Ludvig Byström, Modo
#12 Christian Djoos, Brynäs
#16 Calle Andersson, Färjestad
#17 Erik Thorell, Färjestad
#27 Jeremy Boyce, Timrå
#30 Jesper Pettersson, Linköping

#2 (European Goalies) Oscar Dansk, Brynäs

[Hockeyfrilla]

Åberg havnt done much since the injury after WJC. I think he will drop, late 1st or maybe even early 2nd.

Who is the second Lindholm?

[agentremax]

Maybe Elias, but he's 2013 elligible.

True, but Djurgården have not scored much neither, like only one goal in six of the last eight games I think?

[Glory]

Åberg with a goal today again, GWG in shoot-out. He is a great penalty shooter

[Hockeyfrilla]

saw this on the prospect board, a 7 round mock draft: http://www.draftsite.com/nhl/mock-draft/2012

swedes that are listed:

1st round
Filip Forsberg
Pontus Åberg
Sebastian Collberg
Oscar Dansk

2n round
Ludvig Byström
Hampus Lindholm

3rd round
Calle Andersson

4h round
Gustav Rydahl

6th round
Erik Karlsson
Tobias Törnqvist

7th round
Simon Fernholm
Edwin Hedberg

[charlamov71]

I think Emil Lundberg is the best forward after the 3 bergs in the first round, Erik Thorell should also be drafted in the later rounds.

[joe89]

Personally I think Dansk is a first round talent, but him going there totally depends on if a team is willing take a goaltender with the first pick.

H.Lindholm feels like a raw talent, a team without much hurry looking for big potential should probably give him a long look.

[Hockeyfrilla]

Forsberg 5-10
Collberg 15-25
Åberg 25-35
Byström 31-45
Lindholm 35-50
Dansk 35-50

Vikstrand round 2-3
Lundberg round 2-3
C.Andersson round 3-4
Karlsson round 4-5
Nilsson round 4-5
Törnqvist round 5-6
Djoos round 5-6
Rydahl round 5-6
Boyce-Rotevall round 6-7
Kalin round 6-7
Fernholm round 7

HM: Anderberg, Spångberg, Nyström, Bohman, Nyberg.

Good list! I think u-18wjc will have some influence on how many swedes are drafted and which ones. There might be some more goalies drafted, like for example Modos Linus Ullmark. One player I always liked is Leksands big center Fredrik Händemark, he is overaged, but just by a month.

You don't think the sens will take him?
They are slated to either pick between 18th and 24th, and I think he is the only forward they can realistically take, that they would have any interest in.

[ChiGuySez]

What does anyone think of Oskar Norlov? Any chance to get drafted? Posted some solid numbers at Rogle last year and is posting very decent numbers this year although in a limited amount of games.

[hogtownhabsfan]

Any of you in Sweden have any updated scouting reports of Forsberg and Collberg?

[Hockeyfrilla]

Hampus Lindholm looks more and more lika a first rounder. (From what ive seen in Kvalserien)

Should go ahead Byström IMO.

[RNH 93 rulz]

Could you guys tell me, what kind of a player Collberg is?

[Hockeyfrilla]

From eliteprospects:

Collberg is very skilled forward with great wheels. Doesn't shy away from the high-traffic areas and knows where to go to score goals. Initiates contact with defensemen and has excellent one-on-one moves. Posesses an elite wristshot, which he can release in a hurry with great accuracy and velocity.
Needs to add more bulk to withstand the physical game at the men's level. Lacks ideal frame.

[Trotzig]

First rounder are Forsberg, Collberg and Åberg. Providing a good or atleast decent WJC-18 for Lindholm and Byström -- they'll be gone in the first too.

Dansk has a legitimate shot at the first round, but goalies are tricky as hell to evaluate and project at this age.
