In case this info saves anyone else from the confusion that I went through... Aku Raty has a younger brother who is already better than him. Aatu will be a high draft pick in 2 years. Their names are so weird (to me) and similar that I've gotten mixed up between them.

One yr apart in age. listed as exact same size (6'0". 170 lbs), Aku shoots right, and Aatu left. Let's draft both!

Kärpät has turned out a lot of pros the last few years. Decent numbers for a late rounds guy.

 

[Jukurit]

Having a good season. 37 points in 46 games. Leads Liiga in +/- with +23. Leads his team in Corsi with 58.5%. Versatile all-around player who's good in everything but not great at anything. I think he could eventually be a good 3rd line player in NHL.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Get him to Tucson, with how many poor European late rounders we’ve had, turning this kid into a decent 3rd liner would be a gem

 

[Schemp]

According to Capfriendly, we only have until June 1st to sign him.

 

[Dead Coyote]

I think he'll be signed. He's ready for NHL for sure, maybe could have one year in the AHL to get used to NA ice. He could play all over the line-up, up and down. Not a huge skill guy but he's smart and works really hard and has a great motor. I actually think he'd be great to play with some of our other younger guys like Guenther.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

I hope he gets a contract and goes to Tucson. The only worry I have is Tucson's ability to develop talent at this point.

 

[Jukurit]

Räty wins the award for the best plus-minus (+26) during Liiga regular season.

 

[traffic cone]

Is he like Jere Lehtinen?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

12 points in his last 8 games in the AHL.
3+1 in his last game.

 

[JasonDemersWasOkay]

Very underrated prospect!

 

[FinnishCoyote]

If he gets games in NHL this season, we would have 4 recent Ilves players in our roster.

Edit: Well Välimäki is not recent nor has played any games with main club, but he played this entire youth in Ilves

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Anyone seen his games in the AHL? outside his production in his rookie season
how has he played?

strong rookie season
12+22=34, +8 with 18 pim, in 40+ games (0.80 ppg).

He's played great. More of the same in Liiga but he's really fitting in here. I have no real criticisms of him.

thank you

 

[finkelsteinberg]

thank you

Coyotes beat reporter thinks he could get a look in the NHL prior to the end of the season too. The AHL team is trying to get home ice advantage for the playoffs though so maybe he stays down there as the Yotes have already taken the 2 leading scores from the team.

Cool, thanks.

I couldn't watch today. Read some comments above critical of ma boi Kesselring. Checked box score.

Kesselring +0
Brown -4
Dermott -3

+/- isn't great to use on a game by game basis, but in this case I think it probably gives us a solid picture

Gave this a like, but as a former player with some credibility and now an old man player, I’m always cognizant of my +/-. What can I contribute to be a plus, for myself and thus my team? Something I love about some of our young guys, they screw up, they find a way to get it back. Cooley’s done this on several occasions this season.
Be a plus every game, to a man and guess what?!

I think you guys may be in the wrong thread...
