The Montreal Canadiens made a controversial move according to their fans when Sven Andrighetto was placed on waivers. He finds himself back in the National Hockey League, but isn’t making a great case to stay there.
Andrighetto was the Canadiens third round pick in the 2013 NHL draft. The product of Switzerland went undrafted the previous year. However, he scored 98 points in 53 games for the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the QMJHL and wasn’t going to sneak through the draft again.
The Canadiens took him 86th overall and he immediately turned pro with the Hamilton Bulldogs. He is an offensively skilled, undersized winger and he scored 17 goals and 44 points in 64 games in his first AHL season.
