Nutivaara (lower body) is not close to a return, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports.
Scouting Report
Is a good puck mover who usually limits his mistakes. Plays with poise and can also contribute a little bit on offense at lower levels. Is a low-maintenance defender. Lacks optimum size for the blueline position at the National Hockey League level, so he must prove he can thrive in smaller ice surfaces in North America. Lacks physicality.
Long Range Potential: Depth defenseman.
