Before every SHL season, Aftonbladet takes some of the SHL’s star players and analysts, and Aftonbladet asks them to create a salary-capped “dream team” roster.
According to Detroit Hockey Now’s Bob Duff, both an SHL expert and an SHL player mentioned Red Wings prospects in their dream team selections:
According to analysts at Sportsbladet, one of those [difference-makers] is going to be Dower Nilsson.
“I think an injury-free Noah Dower Nilsson will get a new lease of life under (new coach) Robert Ohlsson in Frölunda, where he has impressed in the preseason,” Sportbladet’s Jonathan Konekta wrote.
In 35 games last season with Frölunda, Dower Nilsson, 20, accounted for four goals and six assists. Detroit selected him 73rd overall in the 2023 NHL entry draft.
Noah Dower Nilsson was coming off shoulder surgery a summer ago, so he didn’t get a full season in during the 2024-2025 campaign…
Along with himself, former Red Wings forward Mathias Brome is including Red Wings prospects Anton Johansson and Michal Svrcek on his team.
“Anton Johansson will get to play a lot (in Leksand),” Brome said. “Michal Svrcek is a cheap wing in Brynäs.”
21-year-old Anton Johansson comes highly-heralded by many, including his father, Tjomme, who happens to be Leksands IF’s GM, and Svrcek, a 2025 draft pick, has pluck, and may very well play the majority of his season on Brynas’ A-Team.
