History

2008-09: Molin played for IK Satra's U18 team in Division 1 Swedish hockey before joining the Brynas organization and also participated in the TV-Pucken and Rikspucken high school age tournaments. He made his debut with Brynas' U16 team and scored 1 goal with 1 assist in six games. Playing for Gastrikland, he had 1 assist in five games during TV-Pucken and scored 1 goal with 2 assists in six Rikspucken games.

2009-10: Molin made his debut with Brynas’ U18, scoring 15 goals and 19 assists in 20 games during the Elit League season and adding 7 goals and added 16 assists in 18 Allsvenskan games.

2010-11: Molin, a relative unknown come draft time, had a very good season playing at the U18 level of Swedish junior hockey.  He saw some limited time at the SuperElit U20, skating in nine games and finishing with 1 assist and 2 penalty minutes.  In the Allsvenskan (second) U18 league, he led the league with 33 points in 16 games. In Elit league play he had the highest point per game rate (20 game minimum) by scoring 48 points in 20 contests.

2011-12: Molin made his pro debut in Sweden's Elitserien as an 18-year-old, skating for Brynas, and was the second-leading scorer for the Brynas U20 team. Averaging 5:28 minutes of ice time in 34 games, he scored 1 goal with 4 assists and was an even plus/minus. Brynas captured the Elitserien playoff championship after finishing fourth in the regular season. Molin scored 1 goal and was minus-one in 11 playoff games. In 29 games with Brynas' U20 team he scored 15 goals with 27 assists and was plus-13 with 45 penalty minutes. Molin signed a three-year entry-level contract with Dallas in June 2012.

 

Talent Analysis

"Emil is a skilled creative forward who can play center and wing. He is a good two-way player who plays responsibly on defense. He's not physically there yet but will get there and he has very good upside. He's a smart player and is very good at setting up his teammates." - Dallas Stars scout Rickard Oquist

Has a good motor, a short stride with quick acceleration and good speed.

Future

Will work his way up the Swedish junior hockey ranks.

The Dallas Stars are not afraid to delve into the European ranks at the pro or junior level. In fact, many of the Stars best defensive prospects were drafted out of Europe and have worked their way up the ranks fairly quickly. Former Stars General Manager Joe Nieuwendyk, a Cornell alum, did not at all mind going for NCAA or NCAA-bound players. As a result, the Stars boast a pretty impressive pipeline coming in from the college ranks.

Despite a bit of flux in recent years from ownership on down, the Dallas Stars have made it a point to restock their organizational depth with quality prospects. They continually bolster one of the better prospect stables in the league and have a great mix of talent and player types that can fill virtually any role that opens up in the organization in the near future.

While Team Sweden is short a few top names at the 2013 World Juniors, their roster still sports some top, young prospects of the hockey world. Players like Filip Forsberg, Victor Rask, and Rickard Rakell should one day be skating in the NHL, probably sooner rather than later.

After a series of very promising drafts, the Dallas Stars prospect pipeline is glowing radiantly as hockey seasons across the Northern Hemisphere begin to get their respective sea legs before the ponds freeze over this winter. Still lacking a stable full of blue-chip stallions, the club from Dallas can trot out an impressive lineup of high quality players at any position.
