Confirmed with Link: Canes sign Saarela to ELC

[HisIceness]

He seems to be pretty good at this ice hockey thing.

 

[DaveG]

I thought he only got two goals?

Got the Hat Trick.

 

[FreshSeabass]

opps never mind i read it wrong your right only 3G

 

[CandyCanes]

Scored a hat trick tonight.
so far..
3gp 4G 2A.

Pretty impressive he didn't need an "adjustment to the NA Game".

He didn't get a hat trick, the way the Checkers were posting was kinda confusing as I almost thought that too. But none less 2 goals tonight and 3rd in 3 games is impressive.

Yeah it confused me they made it look like he got three

 

[KILLger]

Could be worth a tryout for a game or two.

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Zykov with one in the first, Saarela with two within three minutes in the third.

Not bad.

Also, appears they were on the same line.

 

[StiffSquid]

Yeah a great start for him. Would be great to see him get one game in the NHL too or something

 

[HockeyHistorian]

He has one of the hardest wristers I have seen and his slapper isn't bad either. Also has good awareness and a strong build. I can't really see any reason why he wouldn't become a solid NHL player sooner or later. I project him as a middle-six winger who can score 20 in a year. He is also a fine center but I think he'll better as a winger in the NHL.

 

[NotOpie]

I'm thinking that little taste of Ulf Samuelsson did the trick.

 

[JJTT]

He was already playing a lot better in the last 5 games(4+3 in those) or so in Finland too so might've been a injury or something that was bugging him,

Hey fellas-

It seems like Saarela is developing into a player with some upside. What kind of projections do you have for him? Thanks for any info.

By the way, this is for fantasy hockey purposes.

I Know you're going to find this helpful. My prediction for him for next year is 65+ goals and 20 a , because he's so damn good. In NHL. He's projected to be a first line superstar elite goal scoring center

 

[HisIceness]

If he can be what Sebastian Aho was for us this season, I'm happy. Anything more than that is icing on the cake.
