So, do the Red Wings have yet another late-round European stud in Nyquist?

They've missed on some first rounders, but why is it they can find guys like this particularly in Sweden? Is it all about having the right connections over there, or some ultra-gifted scouts? I mean yes, they were on the leading edge, but we are into our third generation of this (Lidstrom,Holmstrom,etc.-Zetterberg,Franzen,etc-now Nyquist and likely others). Maybe other teams should just allocate money into stealing info instead of putting scouts over there.
The lineup they iced against Toronto wasn't much on paper. And yet. One common element, they don't seem to mind drafting guys with perceived faults, (Hudler,Nyquist,Jurco,Frk), but who have skill, sometimes character sometimes not, and other teams pass on. But the Wings roll the dice, and combined with the ability to get the most out of the player, it often succeeds . Mantha will likely be next, though he wasn't really hidden.
I don't think he'll be a stud, but may end being a solid contributor.
BTW, don't tell Count the Wings took their time developing Nyquist:
- 3-yrs at NCAA (Univ of Maine)
- 2-full yrs in the AHL, and a part of a 3rd (this season)
I want Count Jr to get a great education. Promise us that. Too many morons on this board already.
