-Future Considerations

 

Weaknesses

 

Passing:  Unlike Ludvig, Joakim Sederstrom isn't much of a playmaker himself. Sederstrom may be caught being too focused on putting the puck on net rather then actually making the play to get better scoring opportunities.

 

"The one great weakness Joakim Sederstrom possesses is his ability to make good passes to make chances. He's someone with a high turnover rate with his meh passing ability, and usually prefers to take the shot then pass, even if it means passing on better scoring opportunities."

Closing Thoughts

 

Joakim Sederstrom is a physical winger with a great pair of feet and hands, able to create great scoring opportunities with his deadly shot and ability to get himself open, someone who teams are always looking to keep him shutdown. Despite all of this, Joakim lacks the ability to see for good playmaking opportunities, meaning he isn't always looking for the best scoring opportunity.

Review:

Örnsköldsvik!!  - Great place to be from if you want to be an NHL player! The Sedins and Naslund came from there, of course.

Great pros and that one con. The guidelines specifically ask for 3 pros and 3 cons, but it's obvious there was effort put into this so it's acceptable.
