Nevasaari proved season 2014-2015 that he’s clearly one of the top prospects in the age-group.
He has an exceptionally good shot for his age, scoring a few nice goals with one-timers.

Nevasaari is also a competitive player and will go into the corners for puck battles.
Has some nifty puck skills and gets into good scoring positions.
Skating isn’t a huge strength, but it hasn’t limited or affected his game a whole lot. Just a very skilled player with a knack for scoring timid goals.

Finnish Junior Hockey.com comment.
The U18 league’s best player has been known for his scoring ability for already some time.
Nevasaari is a dangerous shooter who puts pucks to the net with precision and can beat goalies up high.
He’s a quick, agile skater and utilizes his speed effectively on the rush.
Uses his puck solid protection skills to keep puck possession. However, Nevasaari is not the most skilled passer.

Nevasaari scored 2 goals today's A junior SM liiga game when Kärpät beat Pelicans 5-1.
After 3 games Nevasaari's stats are 5 goals 1 assist = 6 points, plus-minus reading +7 and PPG 2,00.

Nevasaari is also A junior SM liiga's top scorer.

Kid seems to have a nose for goals.

His hat trick from few days ago (2nd one was nice):


Goals today (both snipes)

Nevaasaari is tearing apart A juniors SM liiga 8 games 8 goals..
Hat-trick today's A juniors liiga game vs Lukko.

Is Nevasaari next Kärpät A junior player player who'll get his liiga debut soon.
I don't know how likely it is but if Arttu continues these showings i'm not surprised if he makes Finland's world junior roster.

Hopefully Jussi Ahokas is watching him closely ( yeah not likely but who knows).

I'm not a big fan of Nevasaari. He's really good goal-scorer, that goes without saying, but he could be quicker and show more versatility. Has never been much of a playmaker and I'm not sure if that will change going forward.

Scored two goals today vs USA and had a nice shootout goal as well. Kid really knows how to score goals. Think he's too small and his skating is too weak for him to be drafted though, but an interesting player to follow for the future.
