Hope this isn't a fata, I did search and checked the draft board...

Give Blood...play hockey selects a slick winger to play on the third line with Ratelle.

He is the Magic Man, Kent Nilsson.

Known as one of the most gifted offensive players of his era.

Absolute magic with the puck: stickhandling, shooting and passing.

Had he not played in the WHA, and gone back to Sweden, we would likely be discussing a 500 goal, 1000 point player.

As it is he is well over a PPG player, and also near that in the playoffs.

Played in Canada, Sweden, Italy, Switzerland, USA, Spain, Norway, Austria and Edmonton.

Once scored 71 goals and 158 points in only 43 games; albeit in Italy.

He won two WHA championships.

A goal:

NHL Stats: 553GP, 264 G, 422A 686 Pnts; Playoffs: 59GP, 11G 41 A 52Pnts

WHA Stats: 158 GP 81G 133A 214 Pnts; playoffs 19GP 5G 19A 24Pnts

Those WHA days he played with Ulf Nilsson and Anders Hedberg, deadly.
