Gavi with Nuti right behind him.

The add poll is tough. ...... but I have a feeling we're not taking Harrington seriously enough. What do we know about Vainio and Stenlund's seasons? Is it too early to count out Siebenaler? Ruopp? What's the upside with Thome and Thurkauf?

Edit: I decided to go off the board with add Siebenaler. 20 yr old D who supposedly has improved a lot defensively, will start for Lake Erie this year and has a lot of development years ahead of him.

What do we know about Vainio and Stenlund's seasons?

Both ranked low on the Eurasian ice hockey pyramid in terms of impact.

Vainio for example played with Blues who collapsed financially (aiding his way into the team considerably) during the season and will next season feature out for expansion team KooKoo. Vainio hasn't faced anywhere near the competitition Nutivaara has wrestled down on his career path. So drastic is the difference of quality between top SM-liiga team and Eurasian contender like Kärpät and minnows Kookoo.
