Jeremy Laura: Hakan Andersson pounded the table for Liam Dower Nilsson

Hope he does well, but he's got all the hallmarks of Jacob de la Rose 2.0.

Possibly. I see de la Rose as having slightly better tools (at the very least he’s a much better skater) but lacking enough hockey IQ to pull together what he has. Nilsson seems to have a very high hockey IQ but not sure enough of the tools are there. Will definitely be interesting to see how he develops.

This is exactly how I would expect a player drafted in the 5th round to act if he is indeed worth a pick. I wish him luck and that he can put his money where his mouth is (not trying to sound harsh).

$7.75M x 8 for little Svetch!! Could be a steal of a deal!
