I’m feeling a little bit of deja vu today, profiling Swedish prospect Lukas Elvenes after digging into Fabian Zetterlund yesterday. The two have similar statistical profiles, leading to similar projections, but as we’ll find out, they have some fundamental differences to the way they play the game.

Elvenes has shown plenty of patience and creativity in his playmaking, and that’s one of reasons that he’s landed at number 56 on our list.

Stats

Career

Cohort Based (pGPS)

Elvenes’ cohort bears a lot of similarity to the player I profiled yesterday, Fabian Zetterlund, which makes sense given that they both split their seasons between the SuperElit league and the SHL, they both produced at roughly a point per game in junior, and both produced no points in roughly a dozen games at the highest level.
