Jim Nill shares untold eye-opening story of former captain Henrik Zetterberg

Zetterberg was a unique story, too. It was in northern Finland, in the middle of nowhere. Watching this tournament, there was this small little kid who was like a dog chasing a bone. We just liked him and when we left, I said, 'You know what? Keep an eye on this kid when you go back.'

It's a funny business, everybody thinks they're a finished product, and they're not. Henrik Zetterberg at the time was about 5'8, 145 pounds. You're sitting there trying to project what he'll turn into, and one day you wake up three years later, and they've learned how to work out and they've committed themselves to eating better.

Whatever it is, it's human nature some of it, and it turns out he ends up being six feet, 185 pounds, and a great player. A lot of things go into the drafting and development of these players, and the projection that scouts have to have, it's the tough part of the business - it's a special skill that a lot of these scouts have.
