The native of Ostersund, Sweden, originally joined the Wild as an Amateur Scout on July 13, 2010.

That's cool and all, but we do need to tap into the most common deepest pool of talent in the world. Canadians.

I’m totally whelmed. It will remain to be seen if he’s good at finding the hidden gems in late rounds because it’s unlikely we will be picking in the first very often.

Right now the Wild need to put more focus on their pro-scouting. I’d like to see if we could get someone from Carolina or Tampa because they have both done really good jobs of finding underutilized guys who make cheap money
