"The Norwegian forward has the size to make coaches drool, 6'3" and 190 pounds, with room to grow. He's described as a "playmaker" by Elite Prospects, with the book on him being fast and having an imposing presence. That's not bad. But his stock has risen even more this season following a solid start in the SHL. While he's registered just five points in 21 games, his game has improved by leaps and bounds."
"Koblar, 18, has gone from being the last pick in the second round of the 2025 draft to, in the words of his Leksands coach Johan Hedberg, potentially the SHL team's "best player by the end of the year." That's an incredible jump, considering there was a possibility Koblar would play Under-20 hockey this season. Instead, the skilled but pesky playmaking center's quick adaptation to the pro game suggests any NHL future could come sooner than anticipated."
The Toronto Maple Leafs are experiencing an underwhelming season that underscores roster turnover and the need for younger options. Eighteen-year-old Tinus Luc Koblar, the Maple Leafs' 64th overall pick in the 2025 draft, offers potential with a 6'3", 190-pound frame and playmaking skill. Koblar began the SHL season with five points in 21 games while showing rapid pro adaptation and noticeable improvement. Leksands coach Johan Hedberg suggested Koblar could be the team's best player by season's end. Koblar remains a longer-term prospect but could bolster center depth as veterans age.
