The Toronto Maple Leafs have made an addition to their scouting staff, hiring former Rimouski Oceanic Assistant GM, Sherbrooke Phoenix GM and QMJHL Director of Central Scouting, Patrick Charbonneau.
This season will be a real test for Grundström. He signed with the reigning champion, Frolunda, after MODO’s relegation. With the champs, he’ll be playing with better players. He’ll also be a year older and will likely take on a larger role. On the other hand, Grundström will have more competition for ice time and powerplay time. If he rises to the occasion, he will be poised to make a large jump up in next year’s T25U25 rankings.
