Another Steal?

The Islanders selected Johan Sundström after 49 other players this year. and boy are 29 other GMs going to look foolish. The  18 year old (Johan turns 19 this September), 6'3, 196lb Swede  is setting the world on fire at WJC development camp. in 5 games played he's notched 13 points and has been, in reports flat out RIDICULOUS.
Now, Johan's playing around his peers, 18 and 19 year olds for the Tournament in December, but he's demolished the Junior ranks in the SEL. In 2 stints at the junior levels for Frölunda HC, Sundström has been about a point per game player. In '09-'10 he notched 30 points(13 Goals, 17 Assists) in 37 games and in '10-'11 he picked up another 19 points(10G/9A) in 15 games. impressive numbers. It's time for Sundström to make the next adjustment and play expanding minutes in the Swedish Elite League. as an 18 year old, it's entirely likely that Frölunda will play Sundström on the 3rd lines there. I have no major complaints here as he's 18 years old, now he's proving to be an offensive dynamo, he needs to adjust to the speed of play at the SEL as opposed to Juniors. In 42 games at the SEL young Johan's only notched one goal. There's nothing wrong with that, he's acclimating and playing in an extremely competative and low scoring league (last year's scoring leader, Colorado F Joakim Lindström, notched 60 points total) at 17 and 18 years old.
This season I hope to see Sundström start producing in the SEL before dominating this years WJC in December. An end season total of 15-20 points from Sundström would be huge, especially if Frölunda makes the playoffs. If the Isles like what they see from Sundström after next season they can import him to the big squad or Bridgeport where he can pair with countrymen Johan Persson or David Üllstrom at either level, so there'll be familiarity for him.
Sundström looks like a steal at development camp and could prove to be with a successful campaign at Frölunda this year and a WJC performance to help Sweden to another top 4 finish. Sundström is a nice surprise and I'm excited to follow his career here at IslandersProspects.
