European prospects 2025/26

[Sandman]

Mar.5th:

Matveiko gets 1g, and was +1 in 19:25 of a 2-1 OT win over MHK Dynamo St.Petersburg. 45gp/15g/19a/34pts,+21, 16 PIM.

Another game in the SHL for Stonks, this time 7:55 TOI, with no points and a -1. 12gp/0g/0a/0pts,-2, 4 PIM.

I just looked at the top producers in the Swedish U20 National League, and they all seem to have a very hard time putting up any points in the SHL. It seems like there is a big jump. All the more impressive what Stenberg and Björck are doing. Hopefully Stockselius will be a permanent fixture on the SHL roster next year and can improve his offensive output.

^ I suspect majority of the u20 guys are getting similar ice time to Stonks, eg 5-7 minutes per night. Not much you can do at that ice time, your primary focus is to not let the other team score and to not make mistakes

in your (or others' opinions):

is the AHL an option for him or is their some contractual obligation?
or is a bigger role in the SHL as good or better for his development?

The Calgary Hitmen acquired the rights to Stockselius from the Seattle Thunderbirds. I suspect the plan will be to bring him over. He’ll be 19 in July, so still lots of runway.

thanks Reg!

not rushing him, just genuinely curious about options.
