I admit to overrating Rundblad. Guys like him don't have the same success over here - now I've learned.
You have to evaluate each Swede separately and not just look at the stats. A guy like Omark being a YouTube sensation was probably not going to do much in the NHL simply due due to the toughness, higher speed, and less time and space. A guy like Silfverberg projects a lot better.
