"While Peter Forsberg was obviously a highly-touted prospect considering his draft status and performance in with Modo in Sweden, it wasn’t until the World Juniors in 1993 a few months after the Lindros deal that the Nordiques realized what they had in the young Swede.
The duo of Forsberg and Naslund returned to the World Juniors in Sweden in 1993 and went completely nuts. Forsberg racked up 31 points in seven games, good for 4.43 points-per-game, a tournament record. Naslund scored 13 goals, which is also a tournament record. But despite the legendary performance from Forsberg and Naslund, Sweden didn’t capture gold. Their 6-1 record was tied for first with Canada, but the Swedes dropped the head-to-head matchup between the two countries, giving the Canadians the edge in the tiebreaker."
