History
When Nyquist left Sweden for North America, his ability to transition his offensive game against a bigger and grittier style of play came into question.
Nyquist has answered his critics as he has enjoyed a very successful rookie campaign at the University of Maine. In 22 games with the team he has scored 19 points, including nine goals. If he can keep up his offensive touch and ability to withstand the wear and tear of gritty hockey, Nyquist projects as a second line player in the NHL.
2007-08: In his second season with Malmo (SWE-U20), Nyquist recorded 11 goals and 20 assists in 24 games. He racked up another goal for Team Sweden in the WJC (U19). He intends to play hockey for the University of Maine for the 2008-09 season.
Talent Analysis
Nyquist is at bottom a puck hound. But to his credit, he never quits on a play and always keeps his feet moving.
