He's a pretty safe bet to make it. With his style of game he can play further down the lineup, but with his speed and skill level he can compliment anyone. He just has to get stronger which will happen naturally to some extent anyways.

I have been saying ylonen has much more skills than he shows... as soon as he gets the puck he makes a little quick pass, this kid could become a puck possession beast who circles around and create space a la barzal!

Hopefully Kotka, Ylonen, Romanov is the new McDonagh, Pacioretty, Subban

Yep
That was my hope in the draft, thats why I had him top 25... but hes shown he probably will never get to that level. Good player anyway.
You were hoping Ylonen would become a Barzal on draft day? I mean, I wanted Ylonen with our 1st 2nd rounder (i have commented this on his prospect board thread prior to the draft) but I knew damn well he wasn't that kind of player. I actually liked his combativeness and his quick feet but never saw him as a possession kind of guy. Your expectation might be a little too high for a top 25 pick. Not all of them have the potential to be a Barzal. He was not supposed to drop that low on draft day, thanks to Boston and their terrible 1st round.

I saw skills that only a few possess, Id gamble on that any day. I had hopes hed be a 60 points producer but I doubt it now.

He's certainly had a good season by the numbers, as he's got 10 more points then Ikonen had in 4 less games although for Ikonen he got off to a really bad start but was much better in the 2nd half. It will be very interesting to see how both Ylonen and Ikonen do next season, too bad I won't be able to see them stupid liiga

What's different about the Liiga streaming service now? Geolocking or what?

Can't forget that Ylonen was better than players like Kupari, Kakko, and Tolvanen during the WJC.
Right now he has .5ppg in Liiga, which is exactly what Kotkaniemi put up last season. Best case scenario IMO is if we get him in Laval next year, which seems unlikely because he is currently signed through 2020.

You need to be a resident and have an address in Finland.
I seem to find some third-party streams every once in a while but they get shut down as soon as the game starts.

Need a finland activated card to subscribe... Theres contraband streams once in a while... but theyre hard to come-by and dont last long.
& Hopefully MB doesn't screw it all up the way he did after inheriting the previous group.

As opposed to Suzuki something tells me this kid will be a really good nhler. Although Suzuki may have higher hockey iq, he may turn out great or may be a flop and never make it. Ylonen's game on the other hand seems much simpler and more straight forward. He style seems perfect for this new nhl built on speed. He moves his feet a lot, looks like a fast powerful skater. He maybe does not have a higher ceiling as Suzuki, but seems more a sure bet to make the nhl imo.

McDonagh was traded years before Bergevin took over. McDonagh was traded in 2009 for Gomez. MB became GM in 2012.
He inherited Gomez, but his first move on the first day of camp was to use one of his compliance buy-outs on Gomez.
Yup...
He got emelin, beaulieu, Weber, Tinordi, Diaz, & pateryn... All of which regressed or failed to come close to their potential under the watch of his handpicked coaches
Man, that is like inheriting a bunch of mint Archie comics from your great grandfather or something. The best of the lot was Emelin. Talk about filler.

What ? At the time they were mostly good prospects. Beaulieu and Tinordi had top-4 potential at least.
We all hoped for Tinordi to blossom, but we never saw any of it, not even with London, TBH. Beaulieu was also over inflated here, but never made anyone drool. Some TSN boys went crazy about Emelin and used a few sexual attendres to describe him. And Pateryn was that prospect you kept on hearing about getting closer, without seeing any change ... I mean the guy we traded him for had a few good seasons and then left the league before he showed up.
I don’t think that any serious talent analyst ever ranked any of them too high, except Emilin.
My only hope for Tinordi was that he would beat up Chara, TBH. Beaulieu, I hoped for a top 4. Pateryn, I expected an AHLer/Journey man.
Diaz and Weber. There was no expectation like for Price, KK, Subban, McDonough, Koivu .... or ever Ryan, and nobody knows how he failed.
