Prospect Info: #121OA - Hurricanes Select RW Tuukka Tieksola

[DaveG]

another one from the Karpat Pipeline

5'10 157lb winger. Played almost entirely in the Karpat U20 team. Put up nearly an assist a game with 15G, 45A in 51 games.

Talk is he needs to bulk up a good bit but he's one of the highest skill level Finns in the draft.

Also did we somehow acquire the entire country? Did I miss the trade announcement?

And isn't this one we were talking about at 90 or 99?

 

[ijuka]

I think this, too, is a steal. So many Finns going way later than they IMO should.

 

[JJTT]

A bit late, outstanding pick

 

[A Star is Burns]

Another pick that seems like pretty good value and fit.

 

[MattiasSnall]

Really good value pick, Congrats guys!

 

[Unsustainable]

Cool

Your homegames are moving from Raleigh to Helsinki. The Jerkstore is moving to Jerkland!

 

[Lempo]

Took a Tieksola, I see.

Seems like at least we need a direct flight between RDU and Helsinki.

 

[ookhaab]

This guy is really good.

 

[GoldiFox]

As is tradition. A Karpat forward.

Brother in law of Aho

[FinPanda]

Amazing value, absolutely terrific pick.

 

[Stickpucker]

Very nice. Where will he be playing next year?

 

[DaveG]

Very nice. Where will he be playing next year?

Still under contract with Karpat and still eligible for the U20s. Wouldn't be shocked if he's loaned to a Mestis team though especially if he puts on some muscle mass.

Brother in law of Aho

Wait, really? That's hilarious.

 

[Roboturner913]

I'll just be in the sauna, listening to Amorphis and eating some smoked fish

whatever works man

I think he will be playing in FEL, too skilled.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Will there be Finnish language lessons coming soon for us?

 

[Lempo]

Wait, really? That's hilarious.

Apparently Seb is dating his sister.

 

[Lempo]

Will there be Finnish language lessons coming soon for us?

I guess there's not much need to try teach the Oulu folks speak it anymore now that they're all sent abroad.

 

[Unsustainable]

I’m moving to Finland to open a BBQ place and sell Canes gear
