While I want to go with a player I actually got to watch in Kipper, I gotta go with Hakan Loob, personally. Nilsson might had been the best Swede to lace them up for Calgary, Loob was a part of that cup winning team in '89, played his entire NHL career (while short since he went back to Sweden) with Calgary, his importance to the club in the '80's is up there with some of the other guys we had on the team (Lanny, Nilsson, Nieuwendyk, etc). IMO, he'd possibly be in the HHOF if he had finished his career in the NHL instead of returning to Sweden.

I agree, went with Kipper this time but Loob is very high on my list.
