Johan Larsson 36 (12+24)
Henrik Zetterberg 34 (20+14)
Loui Eriksson 14 (5+9)
Linus Omark 17 (8+9)
Henrik Sedin 47 (9+38)
Daniel Sedin 42 (16+26)
Nicklas Backstrom 26 (10+16)
Alexander Steen 15 (5+10)
Patric Hornqvist 34 (23+11)
Michael Nylander 28 (11+17)
Kristian Huselius 3 (2+1)
Daniel Alfredsson 20 (12+8) (div 1)

if larsson did this at age 19 compared to all these other names, and he keeps progressing... well then we hit the jackpot
(Granlund rated 9th in that hf top 50 prospects)
