Welcome to your slightly tardy prospect update. This will probably be my last during the holiday season as my non-NHL focus will shift to the World Juniors — we’ll have you covered on that front, too.
My last post here at MLHS discussed the Canadian entry to the World Juniors, but Team Canada isn’t the only team that will feature members of the Leafs‘ prospect pool. While Sweden hasn’t named its team at this stage, 2013 pick Andreas Johnson has been invited to selection camp. Johnson is putting up impressive point totals (22 pts in 32 games) in the Swedish Elite League as an 18 year old. As a player, Johnson is an undersized skill forward with crafty hands and good speed.
Johnson’s fellow 2013 draft pick, Fabrice Herzog will be sporting red and white at the World Juniors for Team Switzerland. Now I know you’re probably thinking, “yeah, but I could make that team.” First of all, you’d be wrong because you suck at hockey, and second of all Herzog is putting up almost a point per game in the QMJHL right now and he doesn’t like your attitude. The Swiss are an international program on the rise and aren’t to be taken lightly in these tournaments anymore.
In OHL news, Connor Brown is still the top point producer in the league and Matt Finn is third among defensemen in points. Neither will feature in this year’s tournament, but both are having seasons that should make Leafs fans take note.
Until next time, I hope you guys are enjoying Nabil and Kate’s faces in that TSN promo as much as I do.
