Scouting Report
The big Finnish forward put up excellent offensive numbers in college hockey but is still trying to find the key to success in the NHL as he approaches his prime. Has to work harder at using his size to win puck battles. At his best, he can score as well as set up his linemates, but he still runs hot and cold. At times, he seems to play up or down to the level of his linemates. Can play both center and wing, which adds value.
Long Range Potential: Raw but talented forward.
