Talvitie coming through

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

oh yea i forgot hes eligible for the AHL.

 

[FinnishDevil]

Kinda crazy that Finns have future Devils legend Aarne Talvitie on the ice and former Devils legend Tuomo Ruutu behind the bench.

Talvitie named one of Finland's 3 best players in the tournament.

THE best

 

[New Jersey Devils]

Bet we sign Talvitie to a contract sooner than later.

I feel like there may be a slight language barrier...

LMAO it was so funny actually listening to it.

If I'm on that Russian team, I'm petrified now.

Talvitie coming through

This play defines what player talvitie is, instead of shying away when leading 4-1 he takes/gives a hit and gets the puck deep.

I knew about his shot and his tenacity, but what surprised me a lot was his strength. Did not know he was that strong. He has been laying some big hits throughout the tourney.

 

[Plevna]

Talvitie is strong and he have good shot. But main thing he is truly leader on ice and been very smart on tv interviews in Finns tv. Really captain of team. I'm very impressed for him.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Love Talvitie. Can't wait to see him once he's in the organization. Feel like we have a real player in our hands, back to back 6th round steals?

I don’t think we’ll see the same from Hoelscher, but I haven’t paid that much attention.

Some bigger guys took runs at him earlier in the tournament thinking he was a small guy they could plow over I guess, and none of them got the better of that collision.

 

[Ol Dirty Bstrd]

Really love what I’m seeing from Talvitie. This guy’s gonna be a player you love to have on your team. I expect him in NJ full time in 2-3 years depending when they decide to sign him

 

[Ben Matlock]

Talvitie is a +9 so far; 9 goals for, 0 against. Whichever line he has been on has been the best for Finland.

 

[MartyOwns]

realistically, what year can we expect talvitie to compete for a spot?

I'm not sure how many years we hold his rights since he was drafted out of Europe, stayed there an additional year, and is now in the NCAA. Considering he is having a similar season to Anderson last year, it's possible he could be added this Spring.

CapFriendly says we hold his rights until Aug 15, 2022.

I can see him spending one more year at Penn State then signing a contract

 

[Ben Matlock]

Nice to see Switzerland show up for the second period. Hoping for a nail-biter, but I think Russia will regroup and take it 5-2.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Looking forward to watching tonight's game, flipping between the NFL game

 

[Blender]

Slepets is ridiculously fast.

I definitely think he's getting drafted this year. No chance he falls through the draft a second time.

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

I guess the Swiss weren't horny enough.
