Scouting Report
The Finnish defenseman excelled in Europe before making the move to North America. He is a sound passer and puck mover who defends well and can potentially play major minutes (despite a lack of bulk). His NHL ice time figures to grow as he gets stronger but he needs to be a bit more aggressive.
Long Range Potential: Smart defenseman with a little upside.
