Honestly why not? Take a RD with decent stats.

Solid value for a 7th rounder. No complaints.

 

[Patmac40]

Taking dmen that can really thread the needle coming out of the zone. Loponen is underrated in this draft.

5’11” RH D

Is this real life?

 

[FinPanda]

I really like him. I thought he would be a 5th or 6th rounder. Rocket of a shot and good skater.

 

[stickty111]

I don't know much about him, but stuff i'm reading seems good. Numbers were also decent.

Will Dubas takes someone over 6 ft

 

[Alerion]

If this guy was 1 inch taller I would love this pick but as is this is an unmitigated disaster and frankly Dubas needs to go the way of JFJ.

 

[Crysis]

I like this pick. If he was 6'2" he would have gone in the 5th.

I love Dubas trolling the board, refusing to take a player over 6'0 in the draft today lol

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Is he tall enough to defend against Malkin?

 

[Jyssy]

I was waiting for him to get drafted since the start of the third round.

[al secord]

I had this guy in the first round.

 

[NCoRe]

Huh ?? No he's not.. he will play with Kärpät most likely

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Will Dubas takes someone over 6 ft

No. Does it matter? Also no.

 

[Lil Tuzzi Bert]

Chances he plays for Finnish WJC team?

 

[Gabriel426]

No. Does it matter? Also no.

I was being sarcastic.

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Did Dubas take anyone born on a Thursday?

 

[Its not your fault]

If this guy was 1 inch taller I would love this pick but as is this is an unmitigated disaster and frankly Dubas needs to go the way of JFJ.

Pretty sure JFJ did some good drafting. Of non elite But NHL quality.
