For me, one of the biggest surprises of this past season was the performance of one Lukas Sedlak. He had never been a much-talked-about prospect. He was #15 on our preseason list of the Top 25 Players Under 25, but that was largely because of his 16 points in 17 Calder Cup Playoff games. Could that momentum carry over to the next season in the NHL?
Sedlak surprised many by making the Jackets roster out of camp, though most of us thought that was just to protect him from waivers. It initially appeared that he would not play on a regular basis.
