165th Overall – C Filip Eriksson, Vaxjo (SWE J-20)
It took a while but the Habs have added a centre with the selection of Eriksson. He made his SHL debut this season, getting into two regular season games plus six more playoff contests which likely helped get him on the radar. However, he missed the majority of the year with a broken leg which didn’t help his stock. He’s under contract for two more years overseas.

Scouting Report
McKeens: Injuries derailed Eriksson’s season this year with Växjö, but he is highly thought of in that organization, so much so that he was given a spot on the men’s club roster for their playoff run despite limited playing time at the J20 level. A late born 2004, Eriksson is a highly intelligent two-way center. Did he play enough or show enough progression this year to be an NHL draft pick? Could be a diamond in the rough down the line.

Nothing wrong with looking for a diamond in the rough.
By round 6 you aren't going to have a perfect prospect who checks all the boxes...
