The Canadiens' prospect has a damn good reason to justify this decision. According to Martin Leclerc on 91.9 Sports Wednesday morning, there was a traumatic event in Ylonen's family related to the vaccine. We can therefore understand this logical decision of the 21-year-old.
I have no idea how Ylonen' situation will turn out: Will he be loaned to a team in Finland? Will he be suspended without pay? Will he decide to opt for vaccination soon? We all wonder, as I write these words, what direction the Montreal franchise will take with one of its top prospects.
