April 2024 – Ruohonen is a 2-way center who gets involved defensively, doesn’t shy aways from initiating contact on either side of the puck, and has shown increasingly regular flashes of playmaking skill. He’s diversified his playmaking game by integrating hook and area passes as the season has progressed. While he makes for a relatively straightforward 4C NHL projection, steps like these taken in his offensive and on-puck game could unlock middle-six upside. (April rankings: #77) Sebastian High
