Rasmus Dahlin and Victor Olofsson

Up next is Team Sweden, who took home bronze in the World Championships. Defenseman Rasmus Dahlin and presumably to be former Sabres forward Victor Olofsson were a part of a predominately NHL roster. Sweden is a powerhouse in terms of hockey, as they have produced some talented players.

Starting off with Olofsson, he finished the tournament with one goal and three assists in nine games played. He was also a +1. As for Dahlin, he registered two goals and seven assists in the same amount of games where he was a +4. It looks like Olofsson will not be back next season, so let's talk about Rasmus.

This year with Buffalo, he was tied for first on the team in points (59) with 20 goals and 39 assists in 81 games played. Rasmus kept his scoring ways going for Sweden as he left the tournament with a bronze medal after beating three of his teammates who we will talk about next.
