The Swedish sports tabloids, Expressen and Aftonbladet, have been posting their preseason previews of Sweden’s SHL teams, but the articles have been locked behind paywalls. Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff got a peek at Sanny Lindstrom and Tomas Ros’s takes on the Red Wings’ SHL-playing prospects, and here’s a snippet of his article…erm…the articles:
Sanny Lindstrom of Sweden’s SportExpressen is a big fan of Kasper’s work. He’s seeing Kasper playing a major role with Rögle this season.
“Austrian super talent Marco Kasper is a player to keep an eye on,” Lindstrom writes about the player the Red Wings selected eighth overall in the 2022 NHL entry draft. “During the playoffs last year, Kasper was one of Rögle’s best players and a lot says that he will be able to take over there this year.
“From what I’ve seen from Kasper during the CHL, he has every opportunity to make a real impact this season. I don’t see it as an impossibility at all that Kasper can score between 30 and 40 points this season.”
Sportbladet’s Tomas Ros also likes Kasper and Frolunda’s Dower Nilsson, but with a caveat. “Kasper and Dower Nilsson are dependent on their surroundings,” Roos writes. “But if they take opportunity with the right players, the points will come.”
