Elias Dahlberg

Position: Left Wing
Height: 6'3
Weight: 196
Hometown: Sundsvall, Sweden
NHL Comparison: Pierre Luc-Dubois

Elias Dahlberg is a Swedish Phenom playing for MODO of the Allsvenskan league. Putting up 40 goals and 20 assists for a total of 60 points in his first season there is no doubt that this guy can score. He uses his size and skating to get the puck in the net.
He is a very shy guy, but it comes out of him whenever he scores. Every goal to him is his first ever. He is a loyal player, always looking out for his teammates who he cares about, and isn't afraid to be physical in order to protect them

Strengths:

Skating: Elias is a big guy at 6'3 196 pounds, but don't let that fool you. He is one of the best skaters at his size, and one of the best in Allsvenskan. He can get around almost anyone, even without a shifty move.

Defense: Elias plays a strong defensive game, always having his stick and body in the right place. He isn't afraid to block shots and take on for the team. He can play the shorthanded minutes, and is a great addition to any teams PK. He is a takeaway master, using his body and space to cause turnovers, and isn't afraid to skate with the puck on the PK, knowing he can get by most players.

Size: Size is an important part of hockey and Elias knows how to use his. Always causing turnovers with his size, he can also use it to his advantage when skating into the offensive zone, protecting the puck, and battling for it in corners.

Weaknesses:

Physicality: Elias isn't scared to be physical, but he isn't very good at being physical. Someone of his size you would expect to give out crushing blows, but Elias is the exception. He needs to work on his physical game if he wants to be successful in the VHL

Puck Handling: Good hands are one of the best tools and scorer can have, and Elias doesn't have them. He doesn't use shifty moves to get around players, always using his size and speed to go through or around them. But adding even one or two dekes to his scoring arsenal would do wonders for him

Shot Accuracy: Elias couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from 10 feet away. Something just hasn't clicked for him on how to shoot in a certain area, most of the time he just blasts one and hope it hits the net. Most of his goals aren't from shots. If he shoots from over 20 feet away it has a higher chance of going into the stands then into the net. To score the 30 goals he put up last season he mostly crashed the net, or tucked it in on a breakaway.
