Summary
In 1975, the Atlanta Flames accidentally drafted the wrong Nilsson—selecting Torbjorn instead of the star Swedish forward Kent, due to age rules and chaotic scouting. But the Flames corrected their mistake the next year, drafting Kent in the 4th round, and he went on to become a franchise legend, setting a still-standing 131-point single-season record with the Flames in 1980-81.
