There's no silent letters in Finnish. Here's how the first name is pronounced: https://fi.forvo.com/word/fi/roope/.

Wasvhecacsaviourjon even ranked by Central Scouting?I do not think I saw him on their list ..this must be a special steal plucked off by our scouts if nobody else had him in rankings ...perhaps our guys found a hidden gem?

Any ideas if this fine specimen will play in the AHL next year? Or is it back to europe for him.

Back to Europe. Unless he has some miracle camp performance. There's too many D in Rockford now with Gilbert, Hillman, Carlsson and Tuulola coming in.

Back to Europe for FEL.

He needs to take a roster spot first with HPK and then we’ll see how he’ll progress. Probably talking about 2-3 year time table before he can make the jump to NA.

Usually I speak fluent fiddy, but I’m drawing a blank here.

I believe his name is pronounced "Rope a Leviathan."

Recently promoted to Liiga after point-per-game start in Mestis. Hawks must sign him following this season or lose his rights. Is that a possibility or have they already moved from him?

He would have to have an incredible Liiga season for the Hawks to sign him. Otherwise they'll probably let his rights expire.

I’m pretty sure they’ve moved on from him. Lots of prospect dmen depth. But who knows a big year might change their mine

 

[HockeySauce]

I haven't seen any of him but I can't imagine he's in the Hawks plans right now. He's on his 5th Liga team since the Hawks draft him. I don't remember him getting much opportunity with the Finnish U20 team either.

The only way someone would know this is if they themselves wrote it. Nobody else could manage to make out that gibberish.

DHF is Fiddy confirmed!

Years of exposure and I love the mobile game where they give you like six letters and you spell out as many words as possible.

I'd be impressed but you obviously have been thinking about it for over two years.

Rights expired today

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Not surprising as he has shown no development since draft to warrant signing him
