In his draft year, Stromgren had 18 points in 14 J20 games, 12 points in 11 HockeyEttan games (Sweden’s third-tier men’s league- 3rd for U-18 players), and 9 points in 27 Allsvenskan games (Sweden’s second-tier men’s league-5th highest U-20 player, 1st for U-18), and he had an excellent U-18 tournament, with 5 points in 7 games. He had exemplary numbers, and contrary to some posters opinions, he had skill and speed. When he was picked, it was understood that he would need plenty of time to ripen. Let’s see what he looks like next season.
