Lots of talent still left on the board here though, I imagine someone will be calling this a Hunter Smith over Brayden Point situation in 5 years, though I’m not sure who Point is in this draft.

4th youngest player drafted so far by the way, behind only Zellweger, Hughes and Koivunen.

William Stromgren was the last forward off my list of 6 that I had. I think he compares more to Joel Armia than the Nino Niederreiter comparison I heard on
@NHLNetwork
#NHL Lanky, moves well...sneaky shooter, but needs to round out his game and improve his agility.

Stolen by Calgary in Round 2
July 24, 2021
Stromgren was drafted 45th overall by the Flames at the 2021 NHL Draft on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
One of the biggest risers in the entire draft over the past many months, the attraction surrounding Stromgren is the size/skill combination. 6-foot-3 wingers with speed and physicality are exceedingly difficult to find. Stromgren played for four different teams this season, in addition to suiting up for his native Sweden at the World U18's. He's more of a sniper than playmaker, although Stromgren is adept at finding his teammates and making creative plays in the offensive zone. There is a boatload of potential here and it wouldn't have been the least bit surprising had Stromgren been selected in the final stages of Round 1. Nice job by the Flames.

I think the pick is ok. There is no sure prospect at this point
Like stock, it’s better to pick a riser than a sinker

Nice pick. It's rare to hear of a player that has size, speed and skill after the top of the first round.

Maybe it's not reaching for the stars but 625 games out of a mid 2nd round seems like nothing to be upset about.
Player comparables are nonsense anyway.

Hockey IQ is noteworthy. On the other hand, the Flames have drafted plenty of eggheads in the past who never turned out.

Stromgren interview:
Happy to be drafted. "Unreal" to hear his name. Following draft with family.
Aware of Swedish players on the Flames.

In a vacuum, based on the pre-draft consensus rankings, this was a fine pick to make here... but Chibrikov was still on the board so I still think it's a bit disappointing.

Im all for drafting skill as thenumber one criteria but they need to start drafting some guys with skill, speed and size.
This is the first one I can remember in recent drafts that meets all 3 criteria.
