“One more year for us and the next year I think he will be ready for the NHL”: A look at Jesse Ylönen’s development

Former NHL player and current Sport Manager with the Lahden (Lahti) Pelicans Janne Laukkanen sat down with Eyes on the Prize to speak about Jesse Ylönen’s progression and adjustment to the professional ranks..

”We have been talking to Montreal a little bit, they have been asking us what we do here. They have never given us any negative feedback about anything so I think we are doing [well], and we have the same goal [for Ylönen to succeed].”

It is clear that the Canadiens have a keen interest in their European players, and that they are following their progress closely.
