Talent Analysis
Hörnqvist is a small sized winger who is an average skater that lacks agility and foot speed… he has a good nose for the net and is always dangerous… he is willing to pay the price and goes to the dirty areas to dig for pucks… keeps it simple and lets his wrister of quickly… has good hockey sense and positioning in the offensive zone… is a solid puckhandler who has the ability to create space for himself… is weak and has to add leg- and upper body strength… has to work on his skating which is holding him back.
Future
He's NHL ready now, and will almost certainly be in the lineup in 2008-09.
