Finland
Juuso Pärssinen
Two-way center with great size. Can also play on the wing if needed. Has some skill but doesn’t project to become more than a bottom-six forward at the NHL level.
Tuukka Tieksola
Undersized playmaking winger with high-end vision, skating and passing skills. Needs to bulk up but has high offensive upside.
Christoffer Sedoff
Sedoff has worked his behind off for the chance to prove himself with an NHL team, and it’s unlikely he did so in hopes of a fruitful career playing back in his native Finland. If the offense he’s shown at the tail end of his junior career sticks, it’s easy to envision Sedoff as a bottom-four powerplay specialist in the NHL.
Patrik Puistola
Offensive winger with top-six upside. More of a goal-scorer but can also make plays.
Joel Kiviranta
Two-way, undersized forward who could easily fit into a team’s bottom six. Not known for his high-octane offense but he can kill penalties
Mikko Kokkonen
Reliable defender who prioritizes his own zone. Can move the puck but his overall offensive upside appears to be limited.
Oskari Laaksonen
Two-way defender who skates well with the puck but prefers to play a more outlet-driven game. Defends using active stick work and quickness rather than physicality. Must make quicker decisions with the puck.
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.
Petteri Nurmi
Mobile defenseman trusted by his coaches due to his decent ability to limit high-danger chances when on the ice, but lacks substantive NHL upside.
