Finland
Leevi Merilainen
A super athletic netminder with tons of room to grow into his frame. If he continues to progress at his current pace, we could be looking at a solid starter at the NHL level.
Visa Vedenpaa
A tall, lanky net minder with good positioning skills.
Kim Saarinen
A big goalie who moves well and is young for the class.
Niklas Kokko
Tall, positionally sound Finnish goaltender from the same pipeline as Justus Annunen and Joel Blomqvist. Making his North American debut.
Marcus Kallionkieli
Big-bodied winger with a knack for scoring goals. Skates decently, but lacks great tools aside from his shot and size.
Kim Nousiainen
A very smart but undersized offensive defenseman. Has been working on his defensive game and decision-making to avoid unnecessary risks.
Markus Niemeläinen
Towering defender whose development hasn't gone as planned and is struggling to make an impact offensively.
Vili Saarijärvi
At one point he looked to be a possible future top-four blueliner for Detroit but hasn't done much in the pro's.
Topi Rönni
Decent-framed center who brings pace and intensity, solid playmaking and two-way play. Needs to improve his manipulation, deceptiveness and physical game, but shows middle-six upside.
Urho Vaakanainen
Smart, smooth-skating, two-way defenseman. Will have more value for his actual team than for your fantasy hockey club.
