Finnish winger who played in the 2023 World Junior Tourney in a complimentary role. Can play any style. Creates screens, and aggressively fights for loose pucks in the battle zones. Not a creator offensively - he's the guy who anchors in the crease, where he looks for tip-ins and fights for rebounds. Has good scoring touch from the circles in. Displays a great release and powerful shot. Although a balanced skater but needs more foot speed, so he has a separation gear. He is basically a straight line skater with little East-West agility and no top end speed. He may be the only first year eligible prospect who plays regularly in the Liiga.
