Chicago Blackhawks prospect Anton Frondell is off to a brilliant start in his first SHL season. Less than a week ago, he scored twice against top-ranked Rögle, then added three more this past weekend to become the second-youngest player in SHL history to record a hat trick.
Nine games into the season, it’s already clear that Frondell is on track for something special. It’s still early to project his scoring pace over a full 52-game schedule, but it’s hard not to be tempted to do the math. With six goals and eight points so far, Frondell is on pace for the best season ever by an 18-year-old in the SHL. At his current rate, he’s also not far off some of the top U20 scoring seasons in the history of the Swedish league. Here’s how Anton Frondell’s projected numbers stack up against some of Sweden’s all-time great junior players.
