Axel Sandin Pellikka was one of the major revelations of the most recent World Junior Hockey Championship. In a draft where the Montreal Canadiens hold two first-round picks — at least for the time being — the steady rise of Sandin Pellika presents a potentially interesting target.
Coach Robert Ohlsson has featured in previous podcasts for us, and he provides some insight today into the strengths, of which there are quite a few, in Sandin Pellikka’s game. While I have personally compared him to Philip Broberg in the past, Ohlsson doesn’t shy away from even loftier comparisons, suggesting both Erik Karlsson and John Klingberg as potential full comps for the young defender.
