Scouting Report
The big Finnish forward has done well in his homeland and the American Hockey League, but he is still trying to find his niche at the NHL level. Has the size coaches love, is defensively responsible and has exhibited a scoring touch that he has yet to show at the top level. He is not likely to become an impact playmaker due to a lack of optimum creativity.
Long Range Potential: Big, versatile forward with a little upside.
