In the past two years the Montreal Canadiens have seen their prospect pool grow in depth and overall quality. Players like Nick Suzuki, Josh Brook and Ryan Poehling garner all the headlines, but there is further quality hidden beneath the upper crust of prospects.
For someone like Lukas Vejdemo it isn’t easy to grab the same attention, but as his rookie season in the American Hockey League has gone on, he has given fans plenty of reason to not forget about him.
Originally drafted 87th overall in 2015, Vejdemo spent three years after that playing in the Swedish Hockey League (SHL), steadily improving his overall professional game, even if he his point totals fluctuated up and down.
