Elmer Söderblom - Season Highlights - 2020/2021

Elmer Söderblom 2020-2021 highlights playing for Frölunda HC in the SHL and Team Sweden at the World U20 Championships.

[@thenickfoxx]

He's already using his reach to keep the puck away from defenders. If he strengthens up he will really be something at the next level. That's a next front presence right there.

[@Mrsinister25]

Dude is hella big out there using that size, he's gonna be fun to watch in a Wings jersey.

[@dakkster]

He's not even close to filling out yet either.

[@jrvanwormer5295]

Great content! If he gets stronger and stays on his feet more, he could really be something. He handles the puck so well and can really move.

[@pickflip113]

Watching this, it's hard to believe he isn't at least in the NHL at some point. He shows some obvious hands, great tenacity, and some fantastic offensive vision as well.

[@MetalDetroit]

Red Wing draft pick - can’t wait to see him !

[@schelle8]

Praying his skating improves, because if it does and he gets stronger he´s going to be an NHL player no doubt about it.

[@andywhite40]

Many thanks for the highlights of which there many. Impressive strength and tenacity, also he's not frightened to get into the dirty areas. Those hands are amazing for such a big guy but he's still so raw. Definitely needs to work on his shooting and as already mentioned, staying on his feet would be a great help. As a Wings fan I can't believe we drafted this kid in round 7, he's got a Hakan Andersson late round gem written all over him. I think he needs another season in the SHL before coming over to the AHL, but really pleased with how he's shaping up. Perhaps Detroit might also sign up his goalie brother......

[@nickfury8973]

Would love to have him in the NHL one day. That size is intimidating.

[@BigBadBubba32]

For being 6'8, hes an exceptional skater and puck handler. Late round steal.

[@user-ed6nt1ml6p]

The Giant kid has great skills !

[@alanharper4910]

The wings will be looking like team Sweden in 2026

[@ericscottstevens]

He needs to go to the same skating school Rasmusen went to.

[@wyattbarnes9641]

Huge and a pretty skilled kid, definitely could see him as a net front presence on a pp. Hopefully his skating comes along a bit.

[@tallesttreeintheforest]

the rise of elmer will create a new trend in the draft, where teams take chances on really big players earlier than before.

[@stopdroolin8418]

His game will translate really well to the NHL. When hes on the red wings.

[@helmedon]

That line for Team Sweden was all Redwings

[@peterlarson1002]

You can see the potential but you can also see the need for further development.

[@carsonpoppenger5700]

6’8 and moves the puck really well

[@MetalDetroit]

That’s a BIG baby at 8:35. LOL !

[@nickfury8973]

This guy is huge. 6’8?

[@user-ed6nt1ml6p]

yes !

[@spicyoctopus]

Indoor fireworks ftw

[@richardhenk7490]

That big man can move

[@kennethrussell1320]

He needs to learn that the puck doesn't have to stay on his stick ALL the time. Instead if reaching with a stick on him which could spell DOOM at the NHL level, I'd like to see him play it off the boards and use his reach to recover it first. Being a little more unpredictable and playing catch with himself will drive smaller players NUTS!

[@Meeuuw]

LMAO! 0:06 The look on number 35 in the background! xD

[@MetalDetroit]

8:35. That’s a BIG BABY !

[@vedicardi]

tbh i cant take my eyes off those mcdonalds logos

[@calvinshields7565]

FEAST

[@jerrymarski5922]

How was this guy not drafted by the Habs???????

[@ryancalomeni5451]

so very humangous big

[@johnnyp8051]

Why is nobody in red wing land talking about this kid??

[@user-ed6nt1ml6p]

They sleep on him as they sleep on Niederbach these Kids are the promising future
