Finland
Henri Nikkanen
A big, athletic center that sees the ice well. Competes hard and is reliable defensively. Foot speed and skating need improvement at the pro level. Has a limited fantasy upside.
Brad Lambert
A dynamic skater with excellent acceleration and top-end speed, edgework and agility is close to elite. Tough to knock off the puck, can fight through checks, and has elite puck-handling skills and scoring ability. Still, his vision and decision-making as a playmaker are questioned, and he is considered a boom-or-bust prospect with consistency concerns at both ends of the ice. He can potentially be a top-line center with PP1 usage if his all-around game develops. His floor is a bottom-six up-tempo center that can be relied on to kill penalties.
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.
Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen
A large goaltender with NHL-caliber talent but a history of injuries. Hopes to be healthy enough to develop into a reliable, consistent, high-quality NHL goalie.
Joona Saarelainen
A smart undersized forward with a relentless motor who could develop into a consistent bottom-six piece if he beats the odds.
Sebastian Soini
A tall, rangy defenseman that doesn't make mistakes.
