Wait til Cherry's head explodes when he finds out we picked no Canadians.

And no I don't think he'll consider Nylander a Canadian.

Future Considerations had him ranked 109th:

108
PIERRE ENGVALL
POSITION: Left/Right Wing
SHOOTS: Left
TEAM: Frolunda J20 (SuperElit)
BORN: May 31, 1996
VITALS: 6’-4” / 190 Lbs
STATS: 39 GP 17 G 18 A 35 PTS 42 PIM
SCOUTING REPORT: Tall and lanky winger with very good poise. He has a very smooth
acceleration and gets up to speed thanks to his long legs. Smooth and effective is also the
description of his skating style in general; he’s not very explosive or shifty, but plays with a
very good pace and maintains a high speed throughout his shifts. At 6-foot-4, he is a very good
skater. He doesn’t have that superb vision you look for in a top-level playmaker, but he still gets
the job done with good puck distribution, strong accuracy to his passes, and his excellent reach
and size, which he uses to open up the ice. He’s really calm and composed with the puck on
his stick and slows the game down in a good way whenever he has the puck. He’s got good
reach and protects the puck well. He really seems to enjoy circling the offensive zone with the
puck looking for open linemates, but probably needs to gain some strength. He’s not a flashy
stickhandler; his game seems to be more about reading the play and making simple, yet smart,
plays while making the most out of his teammates. His development over the course of the
season has been phenomenal. He’s using his strengths more to his advantage, and has started
to play more physically.
