Joni Ikonen experienced a setback in his development early in the summer at a team practice, and it casts a huge shadow over the season that is just about to start in Europe. Ikonen took time to answer a few questions for us on Wednesday.
Ikonen confirms that rehab on his knee is “going according to plan. I feel better and better every day.” This is something that should encourage the Montreal faithful as his stock is still high, placing at 20th in the EOTP Top 25 Under 25, while The Athletic has him listed among the top 10 prospects in the Canadiens system.
