Scouting Report
The Swedish forward made an incredible return from a bout with cancer to regain a regular role in the NHL. He was never a big scorer before his illness, and still is not an offensive force, but is a reliable presence up front who makes very few mistakes and plays a solid game away from the puck. Can surprise goaltenders with his shot from time to time.
Long Range Potential: Sound two-way winger.
