Finland
Jani Nyman
Large-bodied, goal-scoring winger who drives the net and works the boards well. Needs to work on his quickness and two-way game to cement his middle-six upside.
Niklas Kokko
Tall, positionally sound Finnish goaltender from the same pipeline as Justus Annunen and Joel Blomqvist. Making his North American debut.
Niko Huuhtanen
Productive top-six winger, with an elite shot along with fabulous hits and shots peripherals.
Markus Loponen
An intelligent, responsible, two-way center. Not a high-end scorer, but possesses a good wrist shot, providing some goal-scoring ability. Has limited upside and is off the fantasy radar, even in deep leagues.
Matias Mäntykivi
Skilled center with very good hands and playmaking ability. Needs to improve his skating and physical game.
Jesse Pulkkinen
Towering, mobile left-handed defenseman with great poise and tools. Needs to rein in the offensive aggression, but can develop into a unique second-pair blue-liner.
Jesse Nurmi
Creative offensive forward who plays with a surprising amount of energy. Will need to add some weight, but could become a third-line checking winger at his best.
Lauri Pajuniemi
A raw winger with playmaking abilities, could become a middle-6 NHL player if all goes well.
Topias Leinonen
Big, positionally sound goaltender who reads the play well. Has some technical aspects to clean up but has the tools to become an effective NHL netminder.
Joona Saarelainen
A smart undersized forward with a relentless motor who could develop into a consistent bottom-six piece if he beats the odds.
