Anton Frondell was a force for Djurgårdens IF vs Timrå IK (Sept 27, 2025). scoring a goal and showing flashes of a true power forward. Strong on the puck, driving the play, and making an impact every shift offensively or defensively.

He looked good defensively as a center in this game. He supported the defense well on the forecheck and the breakout, and made some nice zone exit passes. I still think he’ll be better as a wing long term, but I was curious how he’d look in the SHL at center and he was pretty good
I am very excited about him as a prospect and have not watched very much (just this years games).
Not bad, but have to say I am a bit disappointed he often passed up the opportunity to take the body in favor of a weak poke check, even on the forecheck. I would like to see him cause a little more disruption with his size and close out the space a bit more. Be more aggressive getting to the puck carrier. It is one thing to be good positionally, but you need to take some opportunities to be a little more aggressive when you are near the puck, rather than just blocking the lanes all the time. He ends up floating a little too much because of it and not moving the legs.
Just my 1/2 cent.
Why is he being deployed as the 3rd line center in the Swedish league?
That Viggo Bjorck has really slick mitts
Frondell’s behind the back tip in goal was nasty hand/eye coordination
