HF Habs: Trevor Timmins (Part 13)

[Harry Kakalovich]

Have we actually drafted a Swede in the first round? Can't think of a high pick off the top of my head.

Collberg was a very early 2nd. De La Rose too. First round I can't remember.

Last Swedish first was Jan Ingman in 1981

I really thought Collberg was going to be a good one along with Danny Kristo I thought their speed/shot would get them to the NHL. Credit to Ylonen for even getting to the NHL since he has a bit of a similar style as it's speed and shot and not much else.

Engstrom will break the Swedish curse, I have no doubt as he's not a boom or bust type of prospect like Norlinder.
