From Sweden, Eddie Lack was never drafted, failing to be picked in any round in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. However, his dream did not stop there, after playing in Sweden’s SHL with Brynas IF, he signed as a free agent rookie with the Vancouver Canucks.
Brynas has produced a lot of NHLers throughout the years, with the most recent star being 2018 first overall pick Rasmus Dahlin. Immediately after signing with the Canucks, Lack was assigned to Vancouver’s then AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose.
In the 2010-2011 season, he was named to the AHL all-rookie team, and was being touted as one of the games hottest goaltending prospects.
