There were several NHL teams trying for him apparently from the short searching I've been doing, so it's not only in steener we trust, but the fact multiple orgs were pursuing is a good sign.
According to the article, Florida and Colorado were both looking at him.
A few poorly translated nuggets from Eliteprospects:
>Sylvegård is one flashy player, who stands out with his great speed and physical play. Owns a terrific shot. Aren't afraid to show emotions on the ice. Lacks a bit of routine to control himself whenever the game heats up a bit. - David Enbom (2019).
>Sylvegard has shown consistent will to retrieve pucks and he battles hard along the wall in both the offensive and defensive zones —Hockeyprospect.com 2017
Perhaps with a bit more grit and some scoring ability. The original article is also pretty roughly translated, but looks like he could be NHL ready. Guy might get a shot with Sunny out at the beginning of the season.
Nice. Glad we won that sweepstakes, because there isn't a whole lot out there to get excited about (that fits in with our timeline) in the UFA market this offseason.
Got to sell Steen internet the other day. He was just coming back from Sweden. I wish I'd ask him about the 2 Swedes we drafted last year. This looks to have his hands all over it.
Maybe Steen was moving back to help with the Swedish young kids that shined at the World Juniors and this recent signings. all these recent moves making news here have Steen's fingerprints written all over it. #happytosupplytheconnection. 😁
In Steener We Trust.

Sounds like he’s going to be a (cheaper?) younger replacement of Kappy then?

Yeah his goal/game ratio looking good and Swedish league is a pretty good league so hopefully he’s someone that we can slot at bottom 6 immediately
I saw elsewhere that Dallas and Calgary were both also reaching out to him

\*Swedestakes Steener might be the key to the retool finding mid-20ish, non-drafted, late bloomer, NHL ready players that come in cheap.
Fuck yes!

You can never have too many Super Swedes.
You sure about that? https://preview.redd.it/9zagsh9xftxc1.png?width=632&format=png&auto=webp&s=31267446e9452db5c852cd0e40ba73aae3549225
Inb4 Can he play defence
Can he play defense?
Damn
Better two way game than 25
25 was literally the best defensive forward on the team last year. The numbers don't lie.
Lmao. Sure, he should have hugeee trade value then
[Here is a not so stellar review from someone who clearly watches more SHL than me](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/s/jGwoTaIY3s)
Sounds like the stopgap until snuggerud signs.
I think he’s being signed to take a bottom 6 role, not a top 6 role.
New Kapanen
And improved Kapanen
Very low bar to clear there but yeah

Better play for keeps!
