Wish we could know more about him.
He is a bit of an unknown player in Denmark, unlike his father.

Yeah it's a bit frustrating that Nikolaj Ehlers, who might be the greatest danish prospects ever (?!), is playing in Switzerland. We all feel starved for news about him
But he certainly look like a certain 1'st round draft so far.
Anyway since his dad Heinz Ehlers was the first danish drafted player ever and first danish hockey star in Sweden there certainly will be some expectations.

Lukáš Vopelka 1996-03-02 (Örebro, J-20 Elit) 5gp 9pts
David Pastrňák 1996-05-25 (Södertälje, J-20 SuperElit) 11gp 10pts

Nikolaj Ehlers

Now has 18g and 12a in 22 games played. Enough for a 5th place in league points.
He is by FAR the youngest on the league leader list.

11 points (7G 4A) in 4 games since the national team break.

That is quite impressive since his club (Biel) is number 13 among 14 teams with just 20 points in 22 games. Not bad for a 16 year old kid in a U20 league. He doesn't even play U17 matches as he did last year.
It's Mikkel Bødker and Lars Eller class. Eller was drafted 13'th in 2007 and Bødker was drafted 8'th in 2008, so Nikolaj Ehlers is certainly on that path without injuries.

Nikolaj Ehlers

Now has 18g and 15a in 24 games played. Enough for a 5th place in league points.
He is by FAR the youngest on the league leader list.

http://www.nationalleague.ch/NL/spie...istik_juna.php

14 points (7G 7A) in 5 games since the national team break.

His team is rock bottom, and he has so many points. He and one other guy are the only two players in the top 10 that do not play for top 10 teams.

He has been directly involved in 47.8% of his teams 69 goals.

Any info on his game from anyone in the alpen-country would be great!

Ehlers now has 19g 16a for 35points in 25games so far.

ENough for a third place on the league point list.

Nikolaj Ehlers has now been called up to Biel's NLA team.
He is the youngest ever dane to play at such a level.

Only Philip Larsen (Dallas Stars) can challenge him, played in the SEL at 16 too.

Also, Ehlers now has 20G & 20A for 40points in 28 games in the U20 league.
Enough for a split 3rd place on the league point list.

Keep in mind Ehlers is probably the youngest of all on that list.

Danes are hawking this thread

Correction: Philip Larsen didn't play in the SEL at 16 yrs. It was in the Allsvenskan for Rögle back in the 05-06 season.

By Danish standars, Ehlers is a huge talent. Hopefully, he will make a move to either Swedish or NA junior hockey next season and we will see how he ranks against the other 2014 first round candidates.

I think 3 potential Kingston players, Roland Mckeown Top 10 pick for 2014. Sam Bennett and Spencer Watson also appear to be potential first round picks.

William Nylander.

Would be criminal if they didn't go 1st round. I have Bennett and Mckeown top 10. Mckeown top 5.

What do you guys think about Reid Duke?
