Prospect Info: [2018 - 35th] Jesse Ylönen (Liiga - Pelicans) On loan to Laval

[montreal]

Really disappointing production so far... has he looked any better than last year?

we'll see as he started slow with just 3 pts in the first 7 games but since has 7 pts in the last 9 games. If he can keep that pace up then that should be a solid season for sure. He looks about the same to me but i've only seen him in Champions league games this season.

He's tied for 2nd on the team in goals, he's 5th in points.

5th in points is big yikes. He should be number one on his team or 2nd at worst.

he's 3 pts from the lead, if not for the slow start he likely would be right there.

If the stats sheet says it , it should be true i agree

Remember that Armia was only a fourth liner because thats what his stats were saying...

 

[azcanuck]

it's key that KK and Poehling become good offensive players. KK will be a beast at 25. I can see it in his attitude.

Domi and Suzuki will play big.

Drouin and Caufield will be our two small non-physical forwards in the top 6.
I'm ok with:

Poehling/Domi Domi/Poehling Caufield
Drouin Kotkaniemi Suzuki

you dont like Ylonen?

you dont like Ylonen?

Jesse Ylönen, Lahti Pelicans, Liiga, Finland

Last week we highlighted the problems that the Pelicans faced off the ice, and this week it took another turn as Coach Ville Nieminen was fired after an atrocious start to the season. Assistant coach Jesse Welling was named the caretaker for the duration. The team is currently 13th out of 15 teams in Liiga, and it is not looking good to even reach the wild-cards series to get into the playoffs.

What's up with Ylonen? He's had a very underwhelming season.

Another Timmins’s special?

His team is terrible. 12th out of 15th, but yeah I expected a bit better.

 

[Whitesnake]

Ylonen is just not a dynamic player. A really meh prospect with meh stats. I prefer Ikonen if only his injuries could stop....but that's probably not going to happen either.

 

[SpeedyPotato]

I'm can't pretend I have any scouting abilities, but I was never really impressed with him when I watched him play. I guess we'll have a better idea with time, but I'm not expecting much from him.

Ylemon gonna be Andrei Kostitsyn with a brain. Total chad

I disagree. He can be quite dynamic and he has skills for days, but hes playing like a grinder. I don't know why, he flashed a lot, and I mean, a lot of skills in his D year, but ever since, hes been a completely disappointing player. He plays like hes coached by Sly.

Ive expressed concern on his IQ.

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Looks like a long term project. I wouldn't throw the towel on him this early.

His team is trash and seems to be going through some sort of a turmoil.

 

[Habs]

maybe him and Kieran Ruscheinski can sell used cars when they don't make Laval and call it a career.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Remember those expert Habs fans that keep throwing players like Armia, Lehkonen, and Danault under the bus? When they going to learn that they are just touching their prime.

Ylonen is a decent prospect. Middle 6 winger potential and I can see him being an above average bottom 6 talent for us when the majority of our kids mature and our roster is more complete. Not the same player as Lehkonen but similar asset value if you ask me.

 

[Hfbsux]

If all of you expert could tell me where to find a link to stream his game it would be nice. Oh that's right, there is none. I love statwatching..

 

[Le Barron de HF]

One positive aspect of his season is that he averages over 4 shots per game.

Danault has one point in his last 10 games withour Gallagher, this might be the worst tine to ever make this post.

Tough to say at this point since no one can watch his games, his stats sure are disappointing this year, I was expecting more, but until I watch him again, I wont comment anymore on his potential...

I absolutely loved his game at the WJC last year and thought his game would translate pretty well to the N.A. style of play, now if only the Habs can sign him this summer and bring him over, he would be one of our most exciting players to watch in Laval and I bet he will benefit from playing with better players... I feel he is wasting his time this year on a lousy team...

He's a grade B, not a B+ or a B-. I think he is a decent prospect to keep in the system to fill a hole down the road in our bottom 6. Top 6 talent? Possible but he needs to take steps forward sooner rather than later if that happens.

Hard to predict cause the team he plays on is not stacked. This makes is difficult to get a real feel for his potential.
