LOL. People would listen to you more, if you got your facts straight.

That have to be irony?

Aren't Nilsson and Loov coming over this year to play for the Marlies?

I am not saying he will be an elite #1Defender but there is top 4 potential

Had to check if you were DaveT83

I'm very excited about all 5 of them. Off the top of my head, I believe Daniel Brodin is the only Swede we've taken in the past few years that hasn't shown some promise (unless you want to include Sondre Olden who I believe was Norwegian.

Olden is progressing and will play SHL this year.

Not the Leafs anymore.

Swedes have done pretty well for us in the past.

He's a LW.

We need to clone Thommie Bergman.

Over the past two decades we've mined a lot of names out of Sweden, most of them coming in the later rounds:

Kenny Jonsson
Fredrik Modin
Mikael Tellqvist
Staffan Kronwall
Alex Steen
Viktor Stalberg
Anton Stralman
Carl Gunnarsson
Jonathan Hedstrom

Now we have

Petter Granberg
Tom Nilsson
Andreas Johnson
Victor Loov
William Nylander
Pierre Engvall

in the system.

Add to the list Tuukka Rask, whom Bergman probably looked at while he was in Finland, and our Scandinavian department is basically the best thing about the whole franchise.

I for one welcome our new swedish overlords
