Is it just me or does it feel like we had a pretty good draft? I like all of our draft picks.
A Swedish Scout Friend of mine mentioned to contact @Joelills who closely follows the Swedish Jr clubs and has seen Vejdemo more than most.
this is what he had to say -
James Stephan @J_Habs
Hey @JoeLills would you be able to tell me anything about new #habs prospect Lukas Vejdemo? What kind of player is he in your opinion?
Joel Lillbroända @JoeLills
@J_Habs Elusive, great skater, above average shot. Very similar to Wennberg at same age. Held back by injuries. Great development 14/15.
James Stephan @J_Habs
@JoeLills Do you think his package can translate to a top 6 NHL forward? Will he play with big Djurgarden club next season?
Joel Lillbroända @JoeLills
@J_Habs Very hard to say, I'd say by pure skills yes. But untried versus men. He'll have a chance in pre-season otherwise loan to SWE-2.
James Stephan @J_Habs
@JoeLills How would you rate his hockey sense? Offensively is he the type to be creative? or is he a north american style guy?
@JoeLills
@J_Habs He plays a "european" style game with good instincts to go to the net. He's an offense first guy, but that usually evens out vs men.
This is the type of prospect that I will over-value.
Thanks, guys.
Boom or Bust, that's my kind of pick. Go VAY-de-mo.
So...first forward RESERVE for the U-20 for Vejdemo? I thought he had a spot...

Does anyone know if hockeystreams carries this tournament...or other sites?
Looking forward to see him play live.
Timmins seemed pretty excited about this guy in interview. Then again Timmins was overwhelmed on getting Collberg

fasthockey usually carries the tournament but you have to pay for it. I had it in the past when McCarron and others were there.
