Fantasy Summary

He’s got a great motor and underrated puck skills with an ability to cash in on chances. He projects as a middle-six winger who would complement an offensive pivot very well.

July 2019-  Even though he had one year left on his entry-level contract, Looke decided to head back to Sweden and signed with Timra IK in the Allsvenskan. In order to do that, the Coyotes agreed to terminate his contract and placed him on unconditional waivers. Looke never really showed much, playing 120 games with Tucson, racking up just 14 goals and 32 points. With the termination of his contract, the Coyotes lose the rights to Looke, making him an unrestricted agent. Keith Duggan

 

January 2019- Looke still hasn’t put up strong offensive numbers has hoped but he’s been better in his second year in North America. He has seven goals already this year compared to the six Looke had all last season. Also his 12 points are just five off last season’s. While it’s good to see the progress it’s hard to see Looke being a fantasy asset in the future. Keith Duggan

 

June 2018- It was an adjustment for Looke in his first season in North America. He has some offense to his game but didn’t show much of it playing mostly a bottom-six role in the AHL. Looke did excel in that role, playing very effectively on a checking line and was a trusted penalty killer for Tucson. Entering his second year in North America, Looke needs to show more offense than six goals and 17 points to stay fantasy relevant and to possibly make a run a roster spot in Arizona. Keith Duggan 

 

July 2017- Looke put together another quite season in Sweden playing for Timra IK in the HockeyAllsvenskan or second Swedish league. His numbers weren’t overwhelming with eight goals and 16 points in 46 games but did show some skill playing with talented teammates such as future NHL’s Elias Pettersson and Jonathan Dahlen, finishing seventh on the team in scoring. In his now third World Junior Championship, Looke once again played a role for Sweden putting up two points in seven games, but more seemed expected from him. Looke signed his entry-level contract with the Coyotes this past April, so he’ll be heading overseas to play in North America. He has some upside to his game but at this point seems more of a bottom-six winger. A versatile forward who can play both wings, Looke’s biggest assets are his on-ice vision and hockey sense. He’ll begin his pro career in the AHL, where Looke will most likely spend 2017-18 adjusting to the North American game. Keith Duggan

 

December 2016- For a third year in a row, Jens Looke will represent Sweden in the World Junior Championship. He looks like he’ll play on a line with Timra teammate and Ottawa pick Jonathan Dahlen, providing instant chemistry. Looke has been excellent in the WJC so expect more of the same from the Swede. Keith Duggan

 

June 2016- With four points in seven games, the 2016 World Junior Championship was most likely the highlight of the 2016-17 season for Jens Looke. He spent most of 2015-16 on loan or in the junior ranks, and while his production hasn’t been bad, it was disappointing that he could not solidify his roster spot in the SHL, unlike 2015-16 where Looke spent most of the season. For 2016-17 he’ll be in the SHL, and will take on an even bigger role for Sweden for his third World Junior Championship. Keith Duggan

 

December 2015- After having his coming out party during the 2015 World Junior Championship, Jens Looke was once again selected to represent Sweden for the 2016 tournament. Currently putting up points regularly for Almtuna of the Allsvenskan, look for Looke to provide a energy depth role for Sweden. Keith Duggan

 

June 2015 – The Arizona Coyotes selected Jens Looke with the 83rd pick of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft. Brendan Ross

 

March 2015 – Competing against men in Sweden’s top league, Lööke has not looked out of place and his slowly increasing minutes reflect his rookie success. As an underager on Sweden’s WJC squad, Lööke flashed some of his promising offensive abilities and was trusted by Rikard Grönberg during critical game moments, scoring three goals in seven games. Lööke has good wheels and competes at a high intensity, showcasing creative passing and an element of elusiveness, sneaking into scoring areas uncontested. The young Swede is an intriguing prospect with good longterm upside. Brendan Ross
