He's big, can skate, and has skill, but he's inexperienced for the NHL level. Also, not the strongest defender. Pretty raw talent overall, but he's taken big steps since I first saw him play. I thought he'd be back to Russia quickly, but he's impressed and I think he could be a dark horse to break out in a year.
But seriously, take Lundell in your pool next year. He's going to be a big, big player. He's just 20 years old, but is already a strong 2nd line center and plays both ends of the ice very well. Already has 23 points in 34 games in his rookie season.
