Noah Dower Nilsson
LW/C
6'0, 185
Frolunda Jr
37 games
26-28-54

Recrutes 77
Finished seventh in J20 Nationell scoring and second
only to Dalibor Dvorsky in points per game among drafteligible prospects. Despite that production, he didn’t line
up with fellow Frolunda teammates Otto Stenberg and
David Edstrom on the top line at the U18s. Highly
skilled and a gifted playmaker, he’ll need to get stronger
and show more willingness to go to the dirty areas

HP - 77
Nilsson is one of the more talented Swedish forwards available in this class, and that’s because he’s also an impressive shooter. Although Dower Nilsson is an impressive talent, there’s frustrating qualities that could potentially conflict with a successful translation to the NHL level. Noah rarely made the easy pass, instead opting for lower percentage passes that can put both his team and himself in
poor positions
“I don’t think he’s a soft player but he stays on the outside.” - NHL Scout, January 2022

EP 64
If measured by pure offensive flair and ability, Dower Nilsson would
rank near the top in this year’s class. He’s got an impressive blend of
playmaking, raw skill, and offensive sense, but he was also extremely
opportunistic – in a good way.
This season, he was far away from being a complete player, focusing almost solely on generating offence.

McKeens 123
Good in small places, Dower Nilsson combines soft hands and adept offensive decisions with a strong wrister, aggressive forechecking, and enviable goal-line proficiency. Top nine NHL possibilities could very well be in the cards.

Obviously - the younger brother of Liam.
Liam just turned 20. He had some success in the 2nd league going 3-12-15 in 32 games with Lidstrom's old team.
