Finland
Emil Järventie
Skilled and energetic winger who lacks size and strength. Has the talent to develop into a top-nine winger in the NHL but will require proper development.
Anttoni Honka
Boom or bust type offensive defenseman with high 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.
Mikko Kokkonen
Reliable defender who prioritizes his own zone. Can move the puck but his overall offensive upside appears to be limited.
Kasper Kulonummi
Well rounded puck-moving defenceman with good hockey sense and decision-making. Could eventually grow into a 2nd or 3rd-pairing puck-moving defender with powerplay utility at the NHL level.
Miko Matikka
Big-bodied power forward with a powerful shot and a solid offensive toolkit with good passing abilities. Injuries have slowed down his development, could be a good, versatile NHL player if he continues to develop.
Valtteri Puustinen
A speedy offensive winger with strong playmaking abilities. A very effective player on the power-play.
Aleksi Heimosalmi
A smooth-skating transitional defenseman who has gained more and more notoriety as his draft year has gone on. He brings a mobility and skill level that allows him to affect the game at both ends of the ice, Heimosalmi is an intriguing two-way defender with solid upside.
Mikael Pyyhtiä
A speedy forward with excellent playmaking ability. Shows high a compete level with a non-stop motor. Enjoys going to the hard-nosed areas.
