Last year Kinnvall ( at 22) got 40 points in 51 games in the SHL. That is an NHLe of 38 pts. This year (at 23) he already has 8 points in 6 games, which is fifth among D men in the SHL, IIRC he has played fewer games than anyone a head of him) . He plays the right side on the top pairing for his team and is their Assistant Capitan .

All of this is especially impressive considering that the SHL is widely regarded as the third best league in the world ( better than the AHL, although there is some debate here).

So basically he is one of the best offensive D men in one of the best leagues. If he put up similar numbers in the AHL people would be penciling him into the roster, but he has committed finishing his season in the SHL so we likely wont see him in N.A until 2021/22.
