Sweden's Filip Forsberg and Sebastian Collberg are both projected first round draft picks in the upcoming 2012 NHL draft. Forsberg is a 6'1", 176 lbs left-winger who mostly plays the right side. Collberg is a 5'11, 174 lbs right-winger who shoots from the right-side.

He's played 10 games in the Swedish Elite League this season, scoring 1 goal. Collberg is more of an offensive-dynamo, who plays his best in the offensive-zone thanks to an impressive, "nose for the net". He's played 5 games in the Swedish Elite League this season, but has yet to produce offensively.

This report is from a 9-4 win over Latvia on December 26th, 2011.
