Nashville got a Teddy Stiga at No. 56. Had him No. 40 on my board. High motor, good speed and he works. Energy off the charts and his production took a big, big jump this year. Going to Boston College. #NHLDraftr
Stiga is an excellent playmaking forward out of the US National Team Development Program (USHL). 79 points in 61 games last year. This is a great pick for Nashville. https://t.co/IIdyjuVLlU
