Nils Höglander punches well above his paygrade, and that got him on the Bruins radar.

Age: 18 (Dec 20, 2000)

Height: 5 Feet, 9 Inches

Weight: 185 lbs.

Position: Left Wing

Shoots: Left

Team: Rögle BK (SHL)

Nationality: Swedish

Analysis:

Don’t let the size fool you. Or surprise you at this point. One of the most instrumental players to the Bruins this year was almost Nils’ exact dimensions. The difference being that guy was a defender, and Höglander is a forward.

And in the SHL, there was almost nobody who would fight for the puck harder or was harder to pin down this year than the Högman himself.
