Before the 2015-16 campaign began, Lukas Vejdemo listed his season goals as making the roster for Djurgården of the SHL and participating in the World Junior Hockey Championship as a member of Team Sweden.
Not only did he crack the SHL lineup, he played every single game for Djurgården last season, in one of the best leagues in the world. His line played well and he earned his spot the hard way, with lots of work on the forecheck, being defensively secure and with good positioning.
Unfortunately for both Vejdemo and fans of the Montreal Canadiens, he was the last cut of a very talented Swedish squad for the WJC.
