Not a super highend pick, but I've said it before:maybe our most underrated forward in this birth year. Wellrounded skillset, plays with intensity, but also shows glimpses of very good vision. Has progressed steadily for the last couple years. I don't really know where he becomes a worthwhile pick for a team. But I don't think he projects any worse than a lot of swedes who are considered above him. Will be interesting to follow in the next couple years.

Has kept impressing in the last half of the season as well. Saw most of his game today in a playoff loss against Linköping, and ATP he might be a clear tier above Svrcek and Sundqvist on his own team, and Genborg on the other in my opinion. I don't think I worry too much about his offensive output anymore, even though he will never be a dynamo. Obviously drafts are relative, and other countries are outside my jurisdiction, but I think Hillström would be a fantastic pick in the second round.
