There is a bit of news regarding Canadiens prospect and 6th round draft pick, Filip Eriksson. According to eliteprospects.com, Eriksson led all junior players in Allsvenskan with 21 assists. The fact that he accomplished this feat despite playing in fewer than one-half of the team’s games makes the accomplishment that much more remarkable. In the last 17 years, 13 of these junior age players went on to play in the NHL with varying degrees of success. Eriksson was recently rewarded by being recalled by Vaxjo Lakers to play in the SHL. Eriksson’s skill rating in various categories can also be seen on eliteprospects.com. – Trask
