I'm not too familiar with Eetu. Does he have a shot at the NHL?

Not a chance. I've been watching him since he was 14, he's never showed much potential imo. Honestly shocked he's made it as far as he has

Why is this a thread lol. He will be in beer league before he is anywhere close to nhl.

Wow. That's too bad. I know his other boy scored a big ot goal recently. I wonder if he'll be any better.

lols

let's just say his last name is the only reason he's made it this far in hockey

Little update - Eetu is playing a lot more this season. No points yet in 2018-2019 but he works hard and is in no way a detriment to his line. He plays mostly 4th line but by Junior or Senior year he may be a decent 2nd liner. But who knows, Manson had a meteoric rise after his Sophomore year so anything is possible. (Again, I realize he isn't a prospect of ours but I imagine some people will like to keep up on Teemu's son)

I know he isn't our prospect but I figured you guys might find it interesting to follow Eetu's performance in college. Afterall, he is Anaheim royalty by association. Anyways, not much to report at the moment but I'll be sure to try my best to get to as many Northeastern games as possible this season and fill you guys in on how he's doing.

Looks like his dad and thats where the resemblance end.

I guess his college won a championship. He posted pictures on Instagram.

They won the Beanpot, which is sort of a mini-tournament between four of the region's colleges. BC, BU, Northeastern, and Harvard are the teams.

 

[MartinS82]

Good for him. Last time I saw him was playing against Orange Lutheran (I think it was the championship game) a few years ago. He wasn't necessarily a stand out on that team, but I always wondered how much extra pressure that poor guy had with a 25 foot picture of his dad next to the ice. I'm sure he had a target on his back too.

Eetu Selanne trying to bring game to next level at Curry College

"By doing this, I'm able to show other players and coaches and scouts that I can be a difference-maker in games."

Does he mean NHL scouts and coaches? Where exactly does he want to take his career? Because from what seems to be general knowledge about him is he isn't a very skilled hockey player.

I'm sure if you interviewed everyone playing college hockey, the vast majority would say they are hoping to earn a pro contract. Obviously the odds are stacked against a kid playing Division III hockey, but he also doesn't have to play in the NHL to make a living off the game if that's what he aspires to do.

He’s already made his living off the game through his inheritance and money that will his father has put into his bank account.

I’d keep playing if I was him too, not like he needs to consider getting a real job at any point

 

[lwvs84]

He may get a pro contract (AHL or in Finland) just based off name. I have no idea if he's good enough to play in either one, but I could see it done as a marketing thing and, in Finland, to get Teemu to come to some games.

 

[Paul4587]

Based on his production in College I would say he would struggle even in the ECHL. He’s could probably be a decent player in the FPHL or SPHL though.

I very highly doubt a player has ever gone to the AHL out of DIII hockey, and a player with his production definitely would not be the first. ECHL would even likely be a major stretch

 

[Terry Yake]

1 pt in 32 games at northeastern

he'll be playing silver in one of the rinks beer leagues pretty soon

Same story with Adam Abdul-Jabbar who lives in san clemente, doesn't need a real job.

And the son/daughter of every single other hall of fame athlete.

I seriously doubt I’d work a day in my life if I didn’t have to

I heard Teemu's oldest son, Eemil, was working at Selanne's Steakhouse. I wonder how true that is.

He does work there, or at least did. He was one of the employees that helped with my table a year or two ago.

Unless they really have the talent to be like their dad/mom like Vlad Guerrero Jr and Josh Manson (Dave Manson).

Went there the year that it opened and Eetu was serving us
