Article: Jakob Ihs-Wozniak Would Be a Dream Pick For Minnesota

Sounds good to me. I think his perimeter play is more of a system thing than anything. Some of the Swedish/Finnish players have trouble adapting away from that system. A coach in the A would have to get on him all the time to go to the net, not the perimeter. It all starts with it being emphasized and the player has to exaggerate it until it's habit.

The big knock on Ihs-Wozniak is that opponents can shut him down with minimal effort when he’s not asserting himself. He tends to play games on the outside instead of using his size and skill to get to the net and contribute in the dirty areas. Hopefully, he will grow out of that habit as he develops into an NHL player.

He is a Swede...he most likely will not grow out of that habit. If he were a Finn, maybe, but Sweden is not known for producing power forwards.

yes...you can find examples of power forwards from Sweden, but the majority of players tend to be skill/finesse players.

That is true. I will give ya that. They’re usually Canadian, American or Russian.
