Bruins prospect Loke Johansson could be a late-round find

By most standards, Bruins' prospect Loke Johansson enjoyed a very good first season in North American hockey. Playing for Moncton in the QMJHL, the 6-foot-3, 214-pound Swedish-born defenseman had 4-18-22 totals and was a plus-46 while playing with the Wildcats, who won the Q championship while being led by last June's fourth overall pick Caleb Desnoyers. But, to be sure, it took a period of adjustment when he first arrived on the continent.
