Scott and Laura take a short break from trying to steal Patrik Laine from the Winnipeg Jets to welcome European Prospect Correspondent Patrik Bexell to the show!

The hosts and Patrik take a look at the overall quality of the Canadiens' European prospects now that Alexander Romanov has headed to North America. They'll also discuss the temporary loans to Sweden and Finland, and how it could give players like Lukas Vejdemo an advantage heading into training camp in the fall.

In the second segment Patrik discusses his expectations for Mattias Norlinder in Frolunda, and how their coaching staff is preparing him for a potential NHL career. Patrik also shares his insight into what Jesse Ylonen can bring to the Laval Rocket lineup next season, and why he's still a top prospect.

Finally the show discusses what lays ahead for Jacob Olofsson and Joni Ikonen, two prospects who have had their careers slowed down by injuries, and whether their future is still the NHL right now.
