Top 100 Swedish prospects
Written by: Johan Nilsson on 02/02/2004 
Steen had an excellent start this season and averaged a point per game in his first 20 games. After competing with the Swedish national team in Karjala Cup, an international tournament held in Finland, his production decreased and he has in fact only scored a goal and an assist in his last 22 games with Frölunda. Steen had however a strong WJC tourney, despite only scoring 2 goals and an assist, and was Sweden's best player in the tournament.
Loui Eriksson is a very interesting player that has moved up to fourth place on the ranking. Eriksson was drafted in the second round last summer and has this season, as a rookie in the SEL, been very impressive. He has played on the fourth line with sometimes limited ice time but still created a lot of offense and proved that he is a player to keep an eye out for in the future.
Another Dallas prospect that has moved up quite a bit is the hardworking two-way forward Yared Hagos at No. 15. He has been one of Timrå's best players in the SEL and also made his debut with the Swedish national team. Hagos is as tough as they come. He loves to use his body, is very strong defensively and is work ethic is very admirable.
A new player on the list is Misha Joukov who recently became a Swedish citizen. Joukov has a huge upside but has been struggling somewhat this season. He was early sent down by his SEL team HV 71 and his production in the second tier league has dropped compared to last season.
The Top 100 ranking will from now on, instead of twice per season, be updated on regular basis at www.eliteprospects.com.
