Massive guy, good skill level.
Apparently very much a lightweight though, doesn't use his size.

Is he an overager, or is this the first year he is eligible for the draft?
Hearing he was passed over last year. Sounds like he demolished his junior team.
Could be another Bodin, but he's made it a lot farther than Bodin did already. Size and skill? Looks like a potential sleeper pick.

google translates his name as "little house". Hope he makes it to the big house
You want him to go to jail?
Hat trick. He's #15 in blue.
Seems like a good time to bring this topic up.
I have great news to you Wings fans, because Vähätalo is really starting to have a breakout season in the Finnish Elite League (Liiga). He looked great in the pre-season, and has been very good in the past regular season games. Currently riding on a 3 game goal streak and has 4+2 in the past 5 games. His speed and mobility has improved drastically and is starting to learn to use his gigantic reach as an advantage. Too early to tell, if there's much NHL potential, but these kind of 6'6"-6'7" forwards don't come too often with this kind of skills and mobility, so he is an interesting prospect. There are many areas he needs to work on, but I think there's room for him to grow. And a patient organization such as the Red Wings is a perfect fit for him to achieve his full potential.
I'd say Vähätalo is mix of Malkin and Getzlaf.
