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.
Julius Miettinen
Big, speedy winger who loves to score in transition. Needs to add defensive value and creativity to his game, but could become a solid third-line power forward.
Justus Annunen
Potential starter with size and athleticism
Ville Heinola
An offense-minded defenseman with top-four upside who can run a powerplay unit. An excellent skater but needs to get stronger to improve in the defensive zone. Undersized, which limits his ability to play a physical game. Provides very little in the hits and blocks categories.
Aleksanteri Kaskimäki
Gifted offensive center with strong skating and stickhandling. Needs to improve his defensive game and on-puck habits, but could be a top-six producer at the NHL level.
Aron Kiviharju
Kiviharju is an intelligent puck-moving defenseman who anticipates play ahead of professional competition on a regular basis, but still has physical habits to learn and muscle to put on before making an NHL lineup.
Konsta Helenius
High IQ, pro-ready 2-way forward.
Veeti Miettinen
A small goal-scoring winger with lethal wrist shot and good playmaking abilities. A very good skater who gives great effort in his play without the puck. Long-term project with top-nine potential down the road.
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.
Leevi Merilainen
A super athletic netminder with tons of room to grow into his frame. If he continues to progress at his current pace, we could be looking at a solid starter at the NHL level.
