| # | Player | Pos |
NHL-team |
| 01. | Robert Nilsson | F |
NY Islanders |
| The most promising Swedish prospect right now. Nilsson has all the talent in the world but must improve his skating and defensive skills. A potential star. | |||
| 02. | Alexander Steen | F |
Toronto |
| Steen is the safest prospect in Sweden. He has no major weaknesses and does everything well. Steen has the tools to follow his father's footsteps and become a legend in the NHL. | |||
| 03. | Niklas Kronwall | D |
Detroit |
| A smallish but yet very powerful defenseman. With an excellent physical game and a strong two-way game Kronwall could become a quality player in the NHL. | |||
| 04. | Henrik Lundqvist | G |
NY Rangers |
| Was outstanding last season and is a regular with the Swedish national team. The best goalkeeper in the Swedish Elite League. | |||
| 05. | Mikael Tellqvist | G |
Toronto |
| Has come off a strong season in the AHL and was brilliant in the World Championships last April when he stole the starting job from Tommy Salo. | |||
| 06. | Jonas Johansson | F |
Colorado |
| A very good skater and playmaker. Johansson is hoping to have a strong season in the WHL before seriously challenging for a roster spot with Colorado Avalanche. | |||
| 07. | Fredrik Sjöström | F |
Phoenix |
| Great attitude and a strong two-way game. Sjöström is also a strong skater and a quite capable scorer. A future NHLer for sure. | |||
| 08. | Lars Jonsson | D |
Boston |
| Jonsson has developed tremendously the last six months and is now the best young defenseman in the Swedish Elite League. Very good offensive skills, a good shot and fine skating. | |||
| 09. | Stefan Liv | G |
Detroit |
| Has come off a disapointing season but is now turning it around. Liv is a very spectacular goalie and is currently working hard at standing up more instead of going down all of the time. | |||
| 10. | Loui Eriksson | F |
Dallas |
| A great pick by the Dallas Stars in the second round of the 2003 draft. Eriksson has the attitude, skating and hockey sense required to become successful in the NHL. | |||
