Finland
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.
Joona Koppanen
Koppanen has a large frame but lacks the offensive talent to become a truly impactful player for fantasy purposes. Likely tops out as a role-playing forward in the NHL.
Lassi Thomson
Offensive right-handed shot defenseman with top-four upside. Very good skater with excellent compete level. Has a great shot from the blue line. Needs to work on his defensive game.
Joakim Kemell
An offensively gifted winger who plays with a physical edge and has an electric shot. He projects as a top-six NHL winger with first-line potential.
Tuomas Uronen
A strong, power winger who drives pucks to the net, protects the puck well, and has a quick and hard release.
Nikolas Matinpalo
Shutdown defenseman who moves well for a big man. Will not be relied upon for his offense—projects to be a third-pairing defenseman specializing in putting up hits and blocked shots.
Ville Ottavainen
A towering defensive defenseman with minimal offense.
