Talent Analysis
Sjodin is considered a versatile forward, comfortable on either wing. He has established himself in Sweden as a tough, physical forward and will be looked upon to bring this particular attribute to North America.A strong player that plays with good intensity. Sjödin likes to play the body and does it fairly well. Forechecks hard never stops working. Has a decent shot and scoring instinct, although he will most likely become a role player at senior level. Mobility, agility and acceleration could be improved.
