Not from 2003-2008. Besides Backlund. Look at all those scrubs from the WHL~! We might as well not even have a farm team for those years. haha
Also Nilsson was the most red necked Swedish player ever, you could have sworn he was from Red Deer. the guy wore a John Deer baseball cap.... and we didn't keep Niemenen for even a half a season.
