Music to my ears! Him and Harris are easily my 2 favorite prospects at the moment.

He's going to be a top6 forward i'm pretty sure.

he definitely has a more varied tool kit than Lehkonen. Besides Lehkonen's snake bittenness/lack of production he's still a pretty solid NHLer. No guarantees he'll be better than Artti but I like Ylonen's skill set better for sure.

For anyone who may wonder: 5KG is 11 lbs.

yeah if being more offensively active was just a confidence issue due to lack of size as opposed to a decision-making/IQ issue then we could have ourselves a player here. Very interested to see how he does. 11 lbs should help.

According to some sites I can find from last year's draft, he was listed at 167 lbs. So if he took 11 lbs of muscle, that would make him 178 lbs.

Which is really freakig slim for his 6'1 frame.

He's still got time to fill out some more. 11 lbs of muscle in one year is good.

he still would battle pretty hard in the corners for such a bean pole. If he can fill out and truly get stronger without losing speed he could be a beauty.

he looks to have the frame that could add a decent amount of mass, going to be very interesting to see what kind of season he has.

Habs 2019 cup champ
he's at 180-185
for his style, 190 is enough for a 6'1 feet guy

In this day and age it should be fine. Very similar physic as KK at the moment,perhaps even heavier than KK is now.

Then things have changed,great! He was no way the weight they listed him at last season. Don't recall seeing a thinner player in a long time than KK.

Yeah. The great thing about drafting from Finland is the national team follows the kids from early adolescence to their early pro years. They have access to all the ressource they need according to what their weaknesses are. My guess is KK has had a good summer, both for his skating and size. Give him another year and he's likely our best center by 2020-2021.

Good call! How soon we forget. lol. And KK took him down if I remember correctly. Late teen Scandinavian kids are typical lanky and take time to bulk some.

Unless Le Clod has its way. Then well have a center line-up of Danault-A washed up Bergeron-Thompson-Weal
*Insert Finland isn't scandinavian comment here.
