I don't get why some people are already writing him off. His SHL stats don't mean a whole lot, as the Swedish league rarely gives young players a ton of quality ice time to work with unless you're a real bluechip prospect. Having already played 51 SHL games in his career at 19 years old is a good thing ... giving up on him because he didn't score more in a very limited role makes zero sense. Let's see how the kid adapts to the North American game.
