Finland
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.
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.
