2. Round Two, Pick Forty-One: RW Albin Grewe

It wouldn’t be a true Flyers mock draft is they didn’t select some sort of playmaker, and Albin Grewe is that and then some.

The Swedish forward had a fantastic campaign with the Djurgårdens IF J20 team in the SuperElit league, scoring 34 points (13 Goals, 21 Assists) in 25 games played while potting six in eight playoff games. His regular season point and assist total sat fourth on the entire squad but far and away led them in Penalties in Minutes with a whopping 102, showing a lack of discipline in the youthful forward.

Additionally, his physical play style can also be attributed to his high amount of penalties. Grewe is only six feet tall but is a lot stronger than his frame would suggest. He’s never afraid to lay a hit on the opposition and gives 100% effort on every single shift. The lack of discipline could rub some NHL franchises the wrong way, but his offensive skill set will draw them right back in.

Grewe is lightning quick with and without the puck. He has terrific puck-handles to accompany his speed and as I mentioned above, is a gifted passer to top it all off. His talents alone would make him a sure-fire first-round prospect but again, he has to clean up his game a bit.

The Flyers can afford to take a risk on a player like Grewe in the second round. If he pans out, Philadelphia is getting a superbly gifted offensive forward who can play on either wing and center if absolutely needed.
