well, I can only answer for Sweden.. and at an early stage.. this draft year looks
INSANE for Sweden. A lot can still happen and some of the prospects below will most likely fade away the next couple of years, while others will pop up.
The Swedish 90's and 91's have been described as the best age groups to come out of the country since the 73's (Peter Forsberg, Markus Näslund etc.). We'll see if they live up to the hype...
Plenty of players to chose from in Sweden
1. Victor Hedman, D (looks like an early top 2-5 pick, most talented Swedish defenseman in many, many years)
Anton Mylläri, B (big and strong defenseman, very complete)
Anton Lander, F (all-round two-way player, a standout among Swedish 91's)
Magnus Pääjärvi, F (speedy, technically skilled forward with good scoring mentality. one-dimensional, however)
William Wallén, F (smallish forward, scoring machine)
Jacob Josefsson, F (very allround two-way center, personal favourite, has all the tools)
Patrik Cehlin, F (among the top Swedish 91's, speed is terrific, so is offensive and technical skills)
Casper Carning, F (Big forward with good hockey sense and hands/release, slow skater though)
Henrik Björklund, F (pure sniper with good size and aggressiveness)
David Rundblad, D (interesting offensive minded defenseman)
Peter Andersson, D (see above)
Tim Erixon, D (skilled defenseman, son of former NHLer Jan Erixon)
Marcus Johansson, F (skiled two-way forward with good speed, physical game and hockey sense)
Niclas Burström, D (undersized defenseman with good mobility and two-way game)
...these are some of the most interesting players. There are actually more
