TrentonDevils Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Guys, Ive been trying to find info on when the organization plans to bring this kid up, but havent really found anything recent. Anyone have any info? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elias2600 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 There has been mention that he will play next season in Sweden. However, I dont see any reason why he shouldnt be at our training camp trying to earn a spot regardless (at the least, it's good experience). The truth is, no one knows right now. Also, we are deep in RWs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threestars Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Y'know, I am not convinced he'll ever make it to NJ. Sure, he might make it to the NHL, just not with the Devils. He's another small, scoring forward. No good on 3rd or 4th lines....from what I've seen of him, he really doesn't "battle"........who would he replace on the current roster?

thefiestygoat Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I doubt we see Bergfors for some time. He needs a lot more work in the minors. He has high upside but is definitely not a lock to reach it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XxLancerHockeyxX Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I suspect pretty damn soon because the kids got talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 i hope he goes back to sweden and plays for a couple of years and then return when he's 23-24 and more ready to step in and make an impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal914 Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I'd say about three years... when Brylin and Pando go... a sad day but ya know... its gotta happen sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 I don't think he ever makes the club. Based on his lackluster play in Lowell I don't think he has the tools to adjust to the North American game. And sending him back to Europe will help with his homesickness, but not with his skill development (not to say that the Swedish coaches are bad, but rather that the game styles are slightly different).

Devs4LIFE Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) I don't think he would fit into our style of play, and besides in all due respect do we really want another European player on our team?

Devs4LIFE Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I didn't mean to offend anyone and I know that European players are just as good as American players, I just have a personal belief that come playoff time the American player want the cup more for the simple fact that they grew up watching NHL hockey. I'm sorry if I offended anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs4LIFE Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Well its ok..But..Guys like Alfredsson, Lidstrom, Koivu are great captains who aspire to the Cup..Just some exemples though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevestevens Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 Youre talking as if people in other countries dont watch nhl. I think anyone would be all in to win the most prestigious hockey championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elias2600 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I dont like seeing how many people are writing bergfors off already because he had a sophomore slump. plenty of players have had sophomore slumps going into their second pro season. Just off the top of my head, Eric Staal, and you could even say Zach did (when I say second I mean second pro which includes AHL, so his first season with the devils would be his sophomore slump, not so awful though). Give bergfors this season before you start writing him off. Anyways, he is still young, so he has a few more seasons to prove he has what it takes. I for one think he does, but yeah could be a couple years away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevestevens Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 i think every player in the nhl is hungry for the cup, despite backround. Except Gomez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils731 Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 (edited) I have only seen Bergfors maybe like 5 or 6 times but it seems to me he had a good first AHL season, a good first half last season, and a horrific 2nd half last season. That will happen to lots of guys who are that young playing in the AHL, especially when you consider how messed up the AHL squad has been the last few years. I still think based upon what I read and have seen that Bergfors is an NHLer. Edited August 3, 2007 by Devils731 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted August 4, 2007 Share Posted August 4, 2007 I love how 20 year olds are completly wrote off yet players like Greene who are 24/25 are thought to have amazing potential. Typical uneducated fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
