2020 NHL Draft prospect profile: Zion Nybeck oozes creativity, but is that enough?

The top scorer in Sweden’s SuperElite (the under-20 league) last year has creativity to spare. Nybeck finished the season with 66 points (27G, 39A) over 42 games, displaying both his goal-scoring and passing acumen for everyone to see. Yet, as with all players his size, there will also be a question of how his game would transition to the NHL, or if he is better suited for the Olympic-sized rinks.
