The only thing Gustafsson have against him is his physical play I think. Well, he doesnt need to play physical but in that case he must damn good on other stuff like positions and puckhandling, pokechecks etc. Lidstroms hits over the years are easy to count, not so many but he is one of the best defensemen in positions and pokechecks. I think there is potential in Gustafsson but he has to choose a way to go now. Add some weight and play more with his body or getting better on pokechecks and positions.
