He was in Nashville's camp. Must have impressed them. We really had him for one season as he was dinged up all of last year. Oh well.
Hello, ZAR?
Per Mike McMahon (@mikemcmahonCHN):
From 3 sources, Northeastern F Ludwig Karlsson will forgo his final 2 seasons & sign an NHL deal. No details on team. Likely announced Thurs
Well, this hurts....
Sucks because of timing but I was never all that impressed. Tough to lose an upperclassman, I guess Jake Newton has gone into the business of advising. This kid is never playing NHL, so what is his hurry to play AHL. He will be there for 2 years.
Long as Madigan is at the helm.. look for more of the same.
Uninspiring, unqualified Coach will lead to more of the same.. keep your rose shades on... What a debacle the program has turned into.. ouch!
Yes, we know how you feel about Madigan..
Definitely appears that way...The Szmatula family made a visit to Boston several days ago to meet with Jimmy. The bottom line is: Szmatula is coming to Northeastern this fall, and everyone is very happy with the way the matter was concluded.

Working to confirm, but it appears that Mike Szmatula will play for Northeastern after all. Should not affect ZAR's arrival
The loss isn't quite what it looks like. The Szmatula family made a visit to Boston several days ago to meet with Jimmy. The bottom line is: Szmatula is coming to Northeastern this fall, and everyone is very happy with the way the matter was concluded. In addition, ZAR will be coming. That can't be formallly announced by the school until a bit of paperwork is completed He was admitted last fall
Net,net,
Karlsson's leaving was driven by two things. He has a very aggressive agent who went out looking for offers for him. I wouldn't be surprised if neither Anaheim or Nashville (where he went to camps) signs him. They've had the best look at him. If someone else signs him what does that tell you?
Also, I understand that Ludwig really didn't enjoy going to school. Not everyone does. Signing solves that problem for him.

Net,net, the team is undoubtedly stronger than it would have been had Ludwig returned Szmats remained in limbo. We have our first win before the season has even started!

And after all the Szmatula hooplah, he'll be playing here after all. How funny....sort of.
Glad this whole drama is over.And after all the Szmatula hooplah, he'll be playing here after all. How funny....sort of.
Great ending for NU, this will be referred to as the Madigan rule going forward. This just set the bar for other schools telling kids no way we are letting you out. Team will be better in the second half, I still believe that record wise team will be close to same as last year, but my feeling is that this is year 1 of the move in the right direction. You will see the improvements, better players here, and coming in next year. I do believe this.
