The 2016 seventh-round pick heads to North America for another camp with the Habs
When the Canadiens made a trade with the Jets to acquire a seventh-round pick in 2016, and used it to select Arvid Henrikson, many were left wondering what he would bring to the table. He was relatively unknown at the time, but the most important aspect of his potential was that he was identified by European scout Christer Rockström. Yes, the same Rockström that discovered Nicklas Lidstrom for the Red Wings.
Of course, seventh-round picks rarely pan out, but when someone adept at finding hidden gems suggests he’s worth a flyer, you take the chance.
