Chris NosekHOST
The Q will be on Flow Hockey as well.
Chris NosekHOST
Anything that you want to add as far as some of the guys over in Europe, SHL, Russia? Yeah.
Dominic TianoHOST
The dub you can watch on YouTube for free, though we don't have any prospects there.
Dominic TianoHOST
The MHL you can watch for free on YouTube.
JackHOST
And this has been the first hockey that anybody's really been able to watch as far as Red Wings go in the past several months.
JackHOST
I mean, I guess if you are a sicko and want to watch some of the prospects in the KHL or potentially in the SHL, you've had some preseason and very early season action in those leagues.
JackHOST
But as far as Detroit Red Wings hockey goes, it was, you know, that laugher of a game in Florida that ended the season and Saturday or Sunday.
JackHOST
And then again on Tuesday.
AlexHOST
Yeah, exactly.
AlexHOST
And the SHL is pretty good now.
AlexHOST
You look at some of these fancy stats that track which leagues are the best outside of North America, and the SHL comes up as the third best league in some of these metrics now.
AlexHOST
So it'd be a good place for him to develop.
The FishermanHOST
okay okay um so last pod we did the pacific pod uh pacific preview uh should we do the central today should we just move our way east yeah just keep moving from coast to coast yeah we'll wrap up with the metro we gotta gotta get on coop's calendar you know what's going on here Retired individual, so busy.
Julian McKenzieGUEST
We were trying to remember after we had the scrum with them whether or not they're relegated to the
speaker_1NARRATOR
second division of the SHL, which I believe is the case.
Julian McKenzieGUEST
Just take advantage of those reps you get, even if it is second division.
Julian McKenzieGUEST
Put up some goals, put up some offense, and put yourself in a position where you're still progressing, even if you're coming off a major injury.
Mike DiStefanoHOST
He's still technically on loan to Rögle.
Mike DiStefanoHOST
Um, so I think they still plan on him spending one more year in the Swedish Hockey League.
Mike DiStefanoHOST
But I don't know.
Mike DiStefanoHOST
Like, if he ends up getting an invite to main camp, we, we don't have the information yet, uh, uh, you know, if he's going to be invited to main camp.
Dave MorassuttiHOST
Mm-hmm.
Mike DiStefanoHOST
But, you know, he, he's a guy I wouldn't mind seeing getting an invite.
Mike DiStefanoHOST
A- and if he doesn't make the team, all right, then you send him back to, to Rögle in, in the Swedish League.
Mike DiStefanoHOST
But if he does, I don't know, man, I, I think that he has an opportu- I, I still actually would probably prefer him playing in the American Hockey League, to be honest with you.
Chris FaberHOST
Yeah.
Chris FaberHOST
And Petey, you had a different path, like, playing in the J20 and kinda SHL, having that jump around.
Chris FaberHOST
Um, we have Sam Eriksson, who was drafted this past year with Fargestad.
Chris FaberHOST
He's kind of in that same boat.
Chris FaberHOST
I know he's already played some J20 games, and kind of hoping to get some SHL games.
Chris FaberHOST
What was, what was it about that season that really helped you improve? 'Cause, like, seeing you get consistent time in the SHL as, like, a 17, 18, 19-year-old felt like it did a lot for your game.
Elias PetterssonGUEST
Yeah.
Elias PetterssonGUEST
Uh, think it was a good mix for me to-
Viggo BjörckGUEST
Uh, so just going there, trying to do my best, and, uh, yeah, m- help the team win.
speaker_2CORRESPONDENT
When it came to making your decisions, did you talk to any of your old SHL teammates, like Frondel or Eklund or things like that to see how it went for them to go back and then do it?
Viggo BjörckGUEST
Uh, one more time.
Viggo BjörckGUEST
Sorry.
Brandon PillerHOST
Yeah.
Ross LevitanHOST
But th- this is a player that has 97 Allsvenskan games and 119 pro games in Norway, and 51 SHL games under his belt.
Brandon PillerHOST
Yeah.
Brandon PillerHOST
Th- this guy's a pro.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
We did.
Bill MatzHOST
But after signing his entry level contract, Jack Berglund was loaned back to the SHL to go back to F-
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
Faroestad.
Bill MatzHOST
Faroestad.
Charlie O'ConnorHOST
[laughs]
Bill MatzHOST
I actually had it last night and then lost confidence in it as it was coming out of my mouth.
Bill MatzHOST
I was just gonna say SHL, but I knew you'd save me.
Bill MatzHOST
Anyway, Jack Berglund, uh, really vaulted up, I think just in everyone's mind, especially with his World Juniors performance last year, uh, where, you know, wins gold, he's awesome.
Murat AteshGUEST
Uh, the track record that he has ...
Murat AteshGUEST
Because partway through last season, they committed him to center full-time, and they committed him not only to that, but to a really heavy matchup role in the SHL in Sweden against men, and they ran him as a matchup shutdown guy, and he started just controlling games.
Murat AteshGUEST
And then to play the, like, at times, the number one center role for Sweden at the world championships as well, [coughs] excuse me, is not quite the same level as NHL play in the middle of the season.
Murat AteshGUEST
However, he's demonstrated an ability to, um, to show a dogged compete level, to go into corners and establish physical leverage on players.
Murat AteshGUEST
I, I really do.
Murat AteshGUEST
At the same time, like ...
Murat AteshGUEST
I wrote, which really does a, a little bit of, of a deeper dive, and I go through all these picks coming out of the SHL and into the NHL.
Murat AteshGUEST
Well, uh- Leo Carlsson's the only one that went straight to the NHL in his draft year.
