Does this mean anything for next year or nah?
Fuuuuck yeah!
Oh yeah
Does anyone know what potential impact this has on him coming to NA next year? The last I heard was tentatively that he’d play in SWE next year (obviously nothing confirmed, just general ideas at this point), but does this open the possibility of that changing any?
Interesting. Have to think to sign him and pay him, the Wings will want him in GR to be able to keep a closer eye on him. But I know nothing, so there’s that. Plus, GR will need a couple bodies back on D, with the assumption ED and AlJo are up with the Big Club.
This dude looks unreal, hope it translates over here
I know he probably doesn’t play but the chance he does and just becomes our karlsson would be pretty cool.
I know he can still be loaned back to the SHL
But I also want us to “shuffle” the defensive pipeline a bit
With Ed and Johansson graduating (AlJo now waiver eligible)I would like to see a continued influx of youth in GR, Gibson, Buium and ASP would be part of that
Maybe it’s time to look at a trade with some of the prospects, do guys like AlJo or Wallinder have a spot here or could they be moved?
Regardless the sooner we get ASP comfortable on NA ice the sooner he can start producing on NA ice and get closer to being that elite offensive d man we’ve needed, outside of Ghost this year it’s been nearly a decade without that kind of player (Mike Green at the start of his time here)
I know he may stay in Sweden but god it would be awesome to play here. Can he join GR for the run or are playoff rosters barred from new tryouts?
3 YEARS??? For a 19 year old with NO NHL EXPERIENCE??? We need to re-sign Patrick Kane, not some Sandy Pelican kid from overseas! I no longer believe in the “Yzer-plan”, we need a GM who’s actually won a Cup, like Peter Chiarelli.
Seriously though, I’m here for the Sandy Pelican arc in Detroit. This kid is going to be so fucking good. Hope they can lure him to GR next year.
