Prospect Info: Lukas Vejdemo

[yoteshot]

Well, as much as I'm excited about him coming over... that's just saying he was more exciting this year than Ikonen and Henrikson.

But yeah, good to have him signed, hopefully we can have a bit more skill in Laval next year!

We only have 2 prospects in Europe. lulsies.

(3 if you consider Arvid Henrikson, I forgot that he even existed)

but hey, Vedejmo had as many points as Andreas Engqvist in 20 more games

 

[schnapshot]

Would be stoked to see him in Laval next year.

I often forget about Henrikson, to be honest. But for Ikonen, I'm expecting him to have a better year next year at Kalpa.

Curious to know why he thinks so! This is one of the prospects I know the least about. But glad to see us sign him, I have heard good things.

He had a breakout year last season.

About time they get him over to see what he can do in North America.

Interesting. Hes been a pick I wrote off as another Timmins "Homerun Swing" in Europe that would never see the light of day. Hopefully he breaks the curse.

Yea, he's part of the bare 2015 draft class. Juulsen (1st), Vejdemo (3rd), Bradley (5th - never signed him), Bourque (6th), and Addison (7th).

I like all of thee players, but I either expect them to be career AHL'ers or depth players in NHL. I feel a lot better with the 2016 and 2017 classes.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Hopefully he continues his progression from this season.

 

[Habs Icing]

How difficult is that if there are only two other prospects? Vejdemo, Ikonen and Henrikson.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Interesting that they signed him now as they had his rights for another year. With all of the players whose rights expired this year already under contract (Bitten, Pezzetta, and Evans), makes sense that they start signing the ones whose rights won't expire for another year. I'm expecting Cale Fleury to be signed at some point, as well, as he's eligible for AHL next year.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Fringe at best.

 

[Habaneros]

What does it means?

were drafting a Swede in the first round 2018....!!lol

 

[Hannibal]

The guy we draft instead of Nicholas Roy.

I'm not a quebecois defender, far from it. But drafting vejdemo instead of him was bad.

 

[Habaneros]

The next Mats Sundin? Check out my report on recrutes.ca for more!

So here is Sundin and we are ready to draft Kopitar in 2018????????????

 

[Habaneros]

Fringe at best.

MATT SUNDIN???

 

[Tyson]

I have never seen him play so I can’t judge this signing. I hope he is developed properly in Laval.

Today I'm astonished at the level of idiocy from people on the RDS website. It is clearly obvious today with this news about Vejdemo that people on that website do not follow hockey at all and have no clue about the Habs prospects.

[Kudo Shinichi]

Would rather have De la rose, Evans or Vejdemo as our 3rd C next year instead of Plekanec

 

[Redux91]

He had a sneaky good under the radar year this year, great to see he is progressing at least

probably plays in sweden next year and laval after that

 

[MD thaivuN]

I guess he'll be part of Laval's Top 2 C with Jake Evans.
