Confirmed Rumor: A 6th-Round Pick of the Canadiens Turns Into a Steal

While much attention has been given to prospects like Ivan Demidov, Michael Hage, David Reinbacher, and Logan Mailloux, some later-round picks could prove to be valuable finds for the Canadiens.

According to an article from DansLesCoulisses, the platform ''HockeyProspecting.com'' has given high marks to a 6th-round pick by the Canadiens in the 2023 draft.

Filip Eriksson is developing impressively in Sweden. The forward had a strong season in a Swedish professional league, and according to the site rating hockey prospects, he now has a better chance of making it to the NHL.

The Swedish player's chances have jumped from 24% at the time of his draft selection to 76% for making it to the top league in the world.

He has intriguing potential to become a solid 3rd or 4th-line player—a useful player with specific roles.

Filip Eriksson could certainly turn out to be a steal for the Canadiens' scouting team with his 6th-round selection, 165th overall, in the 2023 NHL Draft.
