Looking on hockey DB and it shows he only has played 1 game this season, anyone know what's going on with him? Probably a injury?

He has played only 1 game in the Elite League but 28 games one level down in the Allsvenskan for Rogle. He is healthy.

Is it a concern that he's not playing in the Elite League?

Wasn't he a 7th round pick? Not too much to be worried about.

Backlund didn't either, so it's not a major concern.

No but the reasoning why he plays there (=not good enough to crack SEL team's line-up) is.

I'm hoping he'll come out of nowhere like 7th rounder (last pick in the draft actually) Hornqvist.

From everything I've read about Bjorklund, the kids a sniper. Doesn't sound like he's got much in the way of wheels though.....and Hornqvist put up some darn good numbers in the SEL.

I'm still gonna hope though!

If he has the sense and shot everything else can be taught. Definitely a rewarding long term prospect if we can handle him properly. I can see him making the jump to N.A next year.

I think Bjorklund has regressed a little, in his draft year he was considered for the Swedish WJC team, this year i don't think he got invited even though he is now a 19 year old.

Sigh. So i guess he is more Bourque than Backlund this year.
