Hockeys Future describes the next two competitors

Most experts agree that Nilsson is one of the most talented Swedish players since the Sedins and at draft time was on par with Peter Forsberg and Markus Naslund when they were Nilsson's age. It should be noted however that Naslund and especially Forsberg developed their games dramatically the year after they were drafted and Nilsson's development has come along slower.

Nilsson is extremely gifted offensively. He can do pretty much anything with the puck and combines a great skating technique with fine technical skills, excellent passes and tremendous hockey sense. He is more of a play-maker than a sniper but is still capable of putting the puck in the net.


A bit of a sucker for punishment, Cornet often finds himself digging for the puck in the corners and along the boards and battling against players much larger and stronger then he is. To his credit, he takes his knocks and always gets up and tries again when he gets outmuscled and knocked down. When he does get the puck, he has the ability to thread a pass that has no business getting through, thanks to his on-ice awareness and soft hands, but his lack of strength reduces his effectiveness.
The Nils takes it!

Nilsson's shirt says "success is the best revenge"? What a great t-shirt for a guy our crazy coach has riding the fourth line...

I vote for Mini-Magic, whose deft touch around the net makes me swoon.

Nilsson Schmilsson gets my vote. His "Everybody's Talkin" was a key element in Midnight Cowboy plus he always had funny photos on his LP's.
