Björn Hellkvist is the head coach of Leksands IF, where Emil Heineman plays. In order to get to know the young prospect and the main non-draft pick part of the Montreal Canadiens’ return for Tyler Toffoli, we were able to speak to him.
“He has matured this season, that’s the main difference,” Hellkvist said about the 20-year-old forward. “He was still a junior player last year and this is is first real year as a senior. His role is more defined in the team. He plays with Jon Knuts and Martin Karlsson on a more of an energy line / checking line.
