"According to many reports from various General Managers around the SHL and also a comment from both sisters themselves, they never told the general managers that they HAD to be picked together at the draft. They made it clear that their intentions were to play together at some point during their career in the SHL. Calgary was the team to decide to make a move to acquire Sonja and their move was calculated. Trading up to a couple spots under where most analysts had her put those teams in a tough position. Do they draft her with the chance that she walks in the off season some day? Do they take her anyways to force Calgary to spend to acquire her eventually in fear that Frøya walks from Calgary? It's a brilliant move from Calgary to realize Sonja's potential and make teams second guess their potential pick. Did it mean Sonja was drafted lower than she should have been? Yes, but it also means that Calgary has obtained a pair of franchise players that hopefully pan out to their maximum of their potential. Speaking of potential, stating that Sonja tops out at third line material at best is downright disrespectful to her as a player as she had actually put up more points in the Norwegian Youth Hockey League before coming into the SMJHL draft and was 7th in rookie scoring this season. It's clear that currently Frøya has a leg up compared to her sister, but with the amount of work that Sonja seems to be putting in, being one of the first at practices consistently and always being one of the last ones to leave, the one with the most untapped potential may be Sonja Solberg herself."
