having mason, leo, and trevor on this team is such a nice feeling.

Carlsson has elite skill, which when combined with his frame and a strong motor has allowed him to be a very good player in a great league as a draft eligible. Carlsson routinely shows the ability to beat pro defenders with skill. He gets a ton of chances in the high-percentage areas, both due to his hands and his willingness to attack the net. He’s also an excellent playmaker with a very imaginative offensive mind who can run a pro power play and often played the flank in the SHL on the man advantage. His only drawback is a lack of true separation speed. I’ve seen worse feet on a 6-foot-3 guy, but he won’t be turning NHL defensemen around. He’s mostly played wing the last two years but has enough experience at center and traits to play the middle that I could see him become a legit No. 1 center in the NHL with star upside.

Skating – Below Average / Puck skills – High End / Hockey sense – Above Average / Compete – Above Average
Fantilli was ranked #4 for comparison.

I don’t really understand how you can rank a guy two tiers lower than two players he was drafted ahead of when none of them have played any games in the NHL yet…

I hope I get proven wrong about my opinion on the Carlsson selection just like I did when we picked McTavish.

It’s weird that Zellweger and Minty are so low but maybe I am biased.

Love seeing Zegras over Seider for the sole reason that it bothers Red Wings fans so much
