Some similarities are there: all three were drafted in the same year, and seem to possess offensive and defensive abilities. However, that's where the three start to diverge.
Tukonen seems to have the upside of a 1st line/2nd line power forward. Nokelainen seems to have the upside two-way center, who could potentially be a 2nd line scoring center. Korpikoski seems to be the biggest enigma, as some project him as a 1st/2nd line scoring winger, while some say he might just be an energy player.
In terms of overall ability/overall potential, everyone seems pretty divided on #1 and #2. A lot of posters tend to rank Tukonen above Nokelainen, while almost every Finnish poster I've seen ranks Nokelainen ahead of Tukonen. It's generally agreed upon that Korpikoski is #3.
My question is, what are the potentials of these guys (have they changed recently?) and how do they line up to each other?
