At 6-7, Tikkanen tops even the existing redwoods in North American pro hockey. He’s a bit light for that height at 201, but that probably helps him to be so agile for someone that huge. While his technique needs development and consistency, Tikkanen typically remains calm under fire and uses his size effectively. He doesn’t like to go down unless he has to.
The sturdy winger always gives full effort, especially along the boards and near the enemy net. His wrist shot has zip and he usually gets about as many goals as assists. He projects as a bottom-six grinder who chips in offensively.
An intelligent center with well-rounded tools, Dower Nilsson needs to learn to consistently use his motor and refine his physical tools to project to the NHL.
He lacks size; however, he makes up for it in competitiveness, hockey sense and quickness. He’s a smart player with good hands but is limited offensively—he projects as a bottom-six forward.
An agile goaltender for his size. Calm and controlled in the net. Upside is limited.
Has shown a high level of consistency. He is a technically sound, athletic goaltender for his size. He has huge potential; it’s just getting him to North America.
An elite athlete. Looks out of control in the crease sometimes but ends up where he needs to be. A bit undersized but covers the net well, regardless.
Starting goalie upside, but as with most goalies there is a lengthy wait time
Middle-six center. Dual-threat because he can make plays and finish them as well. An offensive Swiss-Army knife.
