| Never drafted. Virtually came from nowhere to become
a widely pursued free agent by several NHL teams. In 2006-07 led Swedish
Division 1 in scoring with 73 points (36 goals, 37 assists) in 41 games,
and helped lead his Boras team to a promotion to the next highest level

| Scouting Report |
| Highly skilled, well-rounded player with world-class
speed, which gives him the ability to blow by defenders. Has very good
moves, is an excellent stickhandler and can dangle with the puck.
Excellent passing skills. Very smart player who anticipates plays well.
One scouting service labeled him as a "poor man's Henrik Zetterberg."
|
| Quotable |
He has a good NHL skating base.
Offensively he has a real nice mix of puck skills and creativity. I
think this kid has a chance to be a real good player."
