Finland
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.
Mitja Jokinen
Small, skilled, elusive puck-moving defenceman
Daniel Nieminen
A mobile two-way defenseman with a great skating technique but limited handling skill.
Topias Hynninen
A high-motor forward who has flashed impressive playmaking skill against junior competition but likely projects as a bottom-six checking forward, possibly on the wing.
Heikki Ruohonen
A 200-foot center with a budding playmaking game which could elevate his NHL upside.
Oskari Salminen
Large framed goaltender that moves well from side to side, positionally sound, with good rebound control. A late bloomer who’s trending upward in his development. Sleeper potential.
Kristian Vesalainen
An inconsistent power forward who can play both wing positions and possesses a heavy shot. Can be an effective checking line winger because of his size and effort along the boards, but he has the offensive upside to play higher in the lineup and contribute to the power play.
Ville Koivunen
A dual-threat winger who makes his teammates better the second he steps on the ice. He is smart and skilled, playing off his linemates' strengths and adapting his game to theirs. He may not drive a line but he will boost any line's production.
Joni Jurmo
A puck-rushing defenseman with great size. A skilled player who knows how to handle the puck at high speed. Not the most dynamic player in the offensive end but capable of producing points. Needs to improve decision-making and defensive zone play.
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.
