Lydman was an excellent young player with a good mix of skill, skating, two-way play and physicality- just too many injuries. I served him many times in the restaurant I worked in back then, and he was always a nice, polite kid- always came in with a smokeshow of a Swedish lady, too.
Ramholt, IIRC, was known for his spectacular speed, but he didn't have the necessary pushback to play in the NHL, I guess.
