Scouting Report
The Swedish winger who was a dangerous scorer in his 20s has devolved into a bottom-six forward and penalty killer as he nears the end of his career. Has gone from 18-20 minutes of ice time per night to barely half of that. While his hockey sense has not deteriorated, the "get up and go" that marked his younger years often seems to have "got up and went."
Long Range Potential: Veteran two-way winger in decline.
