Fernstrom is a bit more of a project but when your lacking picks maybe you swing on a guy you hope you can develop into a top 6 scorer. I think that's probably it, consensus highest upside. We also have dpetey and willander moving up hopefully in the next 2-3 years. I would think we will see some d picked next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted June 29 Author Share Posted June 29 As a reminder...last few drafts a lot of people didn't like Allvin's picks and they ended up being good pick ups and developing well I.e 2022 Ty Young Jackson Dorrington 2023 Sawyer Mynio Ty Mueller Vilmer Alriksson They had eyes on him all year likely as they kept tabs on Lekkerimaki and Pettersson playing for Orebro. A huge upside is that Orebro called up Fernstrom for the SHL playoffs and played games. Orebro is notorious for developing their young players and giving them looks. I like the upside, his profile matches a lot of what Lekkerimaki was in his draft year. Good shot, motor and work ethic needs to improve and he did. I can expect a similar projection for Fernstrom, he could be a really good top six player if he finds a way to move his feet and improve his overall pace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theo5789 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 7 minutes ago, R3aL said: I didn't think wed get a guy with this kinda scoring upside here in the draft so hes got lots of time to develop playing against men in SHL then adjusting to NA ice and getting stronger for Abby I like this pick Definitely a swing for the fences type pick. High risk, high reward type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit off topic, but for some reason when I watch EP2 I don’t exactly think he’s a sure fire bet to make the NHL. Hope I’m wrong. Willander though….that kid is going to be REALLY good. Made it look easy at times in his first NCAA year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blitz-Pix Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 NHL GM'S Drafting Philosophy = BPA - Best Player Available Canuck Drafting Philosophy = BSA - Best Swede Available Sounds like a pick with upside but issues to work on...kinda what you expect once you get outta the 1st & 2nd rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrJockitch Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Kind of sounds like he plays like Suter. Puts himself in good positions naturally offensively and defensively but maybe not high end skill and little power to his game. Hyperbole about his scoring touch but that isn’t uncommon in these profiles. Lekkerimake really added some dog to his game last season, maybe Örebro can do that for Melvin too.

Rypien-Punch Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Sounds like the kid will need 4-5 years of serious gym time and conditioning to be able to compete at pro hockey. He is a bit of a hail marry pick but if he can improve that side of his game, he could carve out a spot with the Canucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
