Finnish winger who started his North American career with Everett in the Dub, but after one game moved on to the USHL Sioux City Musketeers he showed good tools and ability to play a two-way game. Makes a pest in the offensive zone. At this juncture he is more of a straight line quickness once he gets up steam. Has good balance and is very strong and physical along the wall. Is physically strong and uses his reach with his stick to get the puck back. Can stickhandle and cooly make plays without panic but tends to make him himself available in a passing lane as opposed to attempting to over handling his possessions. He does have strong wrister. A team that thinks he can continue to add physicality and develop a bit more attack skill will select him and let him grow.
