Kärpät U20 / Jr. A SM-liiga - 18/19

per EliteProspects

Loving the praise there for Talvitie. Pretty sure he's another musclehead like Wood and Zetterlund. Could make a Zacha/McLeod shift to the wing all the more possible assuming he can become a solid 3C.

Hopefully he shows this kind of ability at PENN St. That would be a good indicator of his ability to step up a level. He certainly seems like he is showing more than your garden variety low round pick.

Per elite prospects, Akira Schmid to Lethbridge is confirmed. He will be in the WHL next season.

 

[Cheddabombs]

pretty interesting stuff, showing just how much of an impact Davies had last season.

can't wait to see how he does this year

 

[My3Sons]

Apparently Talvite scored for the Finns in a 3-1 loss at the World Junior Summer Showcase last night.

That SUCKS

he scored today again

 

[Petr Cejka]

Aarne Talvitie is scoring machine He will fit our team

 

[My3Sons]

Ugh. Is that good or bad?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

I don't think its that bad. Hopefully he plays on the top line there again

I posted it before but his draft +1 scoring rate is on par with a lot of young guys who have recently broke out in the NHL

I believe his contract runs out after this year over there so he should be over here next year

 

[Devils Dominion]

Ugh. Is that good or bad?

It's fine to me

He looked like he belonged with the best players his own age at last year’s WJSS. That’s what caught my attention. It won’t shock me if he has an NCAA career similar to Anderson.

 

[My3Sons]

For Talvite that makes sense. He needs to adjust to a new team new teammates a new country and oh yeah, college classes. Let him get acclimated at school and he can worry about hockey again in October after this week. I am curious if the typical D1 NCAA hockey fall conditioning program is a step up from what he is used to.

 

[GeNeXt]

Yeah, also he'd probably be drained from all the travel this summer. Pretty sure I read he flew from Finland to NJ for Dev Camp, then back to Finland for a day before flying out to Kamloops. Add in a trip to State College to get things ready for the school year, a trip up to Buffalo, and then TC in NJ with professionals, the kid would be drained going back to school.

And on Boqvist. His draft +1 numbers compare very favorably to some Swedish top six forwards that are in the NHL.

He’s going to be interesting to keep an eye on next year. A .8-1 ppg season should solidify him as a top nine option at the NHL level and more likely a top six option.

 

[Comparison Ford]

the first thing i saw from talvitie in last years development camp was that shot.

he seems like he may turn into a perfect bottom 6 player.

If he eventually claws his way to the NHL that’s some fantastic work by the European scouts.

I think he will.

If Davies and Seney make it too that would be incredible late round picking including Bratt

Boquist needs to develop a bit physically. He is still a bit too perimeter right now as I appreciate it.

I think we have hidden gem in him. I also think he can be much more than bottom 6 player. I believe he has top 6 potential. Some of late picks such as Bratt, Talvitie, Chainey were great..Its a shame we missed players such as Primeau, Jones, Drozg..

 

[Triumph]

Morreale might not know this himself but Talvitie can't attend training camp and I'm pretty sure he can't attend the Prospects tournament either - these are things he can't participate in and still maintain his NCAA eligibility.
