Christoffer Ehn was one of the more surprising “oh yeah, he’s here too...for the whole season?” players last season. With so much focus on the defensive lineup, Ehn just sorta showed up and stuck around. Like a bodega cat.
Our 4th line was a classic Jeff Blashill Bingo Wheel Of Doom™ situation, and Ehn slotting in wasn’t particularly flashy, but when he was noticeable, it usually was for a positive reason. And that’s about as much as you can hope for from a young 4th liner these days.
