Scouting Report
The Swedish winger was a dangerous scorer in his 20s, but then became more of a bottom-six forward and penalty-killing winger toward the end of his NHL career. Was often on the ice 18-20 minutes per game and complemented offensive talent well. He always boasted excellent hockey sense and was equally productive whether he played right or left wing.
Long Range Potential: Quality, versatile two-way winger.
