July 2025 – The Kings chose Rimpinen with the 152nd pick in the 2025 draft, adding yet another impressive netminder to their prospect stable. 2024-2025 marked his rookie season in the Liiga, and he stood out among the league. He posted a line of 16-9-14 with two shutouts. His rate stats were impressive not only as a rookie but also that they held up across 40 games played, the fourth most last season. His 2.35 GAA sat him seventh among goalies, and his .912 save percentage was second best. Zooming out beyond just the recent season, both those stats are in the top 30 by a U21 netminder in the Liiga since 2009.

Managers won’t be seeing Rimpinen putting up any stats for their fantasy squads within the next several years, but he certainly is as worthy of a draft and stash as any of the other netminders taken on draft day. Alex Wyatt
