2015 Canadiens Draft Target: Joel Eriksson Ek
As we all know, the more Swedes the better, and no skater fits this mantra better than Joel Eriksson EK. Eriksson currently plays for Farjestad BK in the SHL, after forcing his way into the lineup at eighteen years old. Quite the feat for one of the top professional leagues in the world, and it speaks to the physical maturity of Eriksson's game.
And while the Canadiens do currently have a glut of prospects at center it is hard to pass on a player with the sort of talent Eriksson possesses.
