Finland
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.
Kalle Kangas
A big body defenseman who does not play overly physically but is hard to play against. Skating needs some work as he struggles to play at high speed. Needs more consistency, but the complete level is there.
Topias Hynninen
Re-entry player who produced well as a top-six C in Liiga this past season.
Kalle Väisänen
Playmaking forward developing overseas for TPS in the Finnish League. Big bodied forward who utilizes his size and strength.
Markus Loponen
An intelligent, responsible, two-way center. Not a high-end scorer, but possesses a good wrist shot, providing some goal-scoring ability.
Samu Tuomaala
A two-way scoring winger who loves to shoot. Tuomaala possesses the skill and puck handling ability to be a valuable transition player with the ability to distribute the puck when he wants to. He will need to diversity his attack a bit to reach his full potential but he has all of the tools to do it.
Roni Hirvonen
An undersized forward with middle-six upside. Primarily a playmaker but can also finish. A natural center but has been used at wing at the men’s level. Great effort and good two-way game.
