Finland
Max Westergård
An undersized two-way winger that battles hard. Has the hockey IQ and skill to become a bottom-six forward.
Topias Hynninen
Re-entry player who produced well as a top-six C in Liiga this past season.
Benjamin Rautiainen
A lanky, playmaking forward entering the draft as an overager.
Lasse Boelius
A smooth-skating, puck-moving defenseman.
Joona Saarelainen
A smart undersized forward with a relentless motor who could develop into a consistent bottom-six piece if he beats the odds.
Antti Tuomisto
A big, right-handed defenseman who skates well and has a heavy shot from the point. Likely tops out as an AHL defenseman who might get an occasional call-up due to injury.
Lenni Hämeenaho
Solid complementary winger who excels battling around the net and along the boards. Could grow into a solid middle-six NHL forward with added pace.
Emil Hemming
Powerful scoring winger with detailed off-puck movement in the offensive zone. Needs to stay engaged and improve his decision-making, but has potential as a second-line sniper.
Topi Niemelä
Very reliable and smart two-way defenseman who will join the rush and get involved offensively. Reliable defensively already at young age which bodes well for his NHL future.
Eemil Viro
An average-sized puck-moving defenseman with good two-way qualities and middle-pair upside. A very good skater and a very smart player but lacks standout skills.
