LINUS ERIKSSON Scouting Report | Projectable High-IQ Centerman!

LINUS ERIKSSON Scouting Report | Projectable High-IQ Centerman!

Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Sebastian High, Hadi Kalakeche June 21, 2024 Duration: 27:05

In this episode of the Prospect Spotlight series, our scouts take a half-hour deep dive into the game of an intelligent and projectable two-way center: Linus Eriksson! First, they introduce the player with his profile, statistical production, and his trifecta of puck skills: shooting, passing, and handling. Next, they shift their attention to his habits, tools, and toolkit, discussing why he is falling down rankings, including their own. Last, they debate Eriksson's projection at the NHL level from both stylistic and statistical perspectives, before capping off the episode by looking at which NHL teams would be the best fit for him.

 

 

 

Our tool projection scale goes from 1 to 10:

 

1 - Below AHL Caliber Tool

2 - AHL Caliber Tool

3 - Replacement-Level Tool

4 - Average 4th line/#6 Defenceman Tool

5 - Average 3rd line/#4 Defenseman Tool

6 - Standard Top-6/Top-4 Tool

7 - Standard Top Line/Pairing Tool

8 - Clear Elite Tool (Suzuki's hockey sense)

9 - Game-Breaking Tool (Quinn Hughes' playmaking)

10 - Top-of-the-Line Elite-Level Tool (Bedard's shot or McDavid's skating)

 

(note: we try to balance upside and likelihood of reaching it in our evaluations)
