Aho will be happy, I guess.

 

[Qurpiz]

He's under contract to play for Ässät, same team as Kotkaniemi for 18-19.
As an Ässät fan I'd slot him to the lower 6 or popcorns. Might see some junior games too.

But honestly, with the shape Ässät are in, he might be in the top 6 by the end of next year.

And that's about all I know about him.

 

[Quethas]

FinnProspects has quite many reports of him written during the season

He has size, he works a lot on the ice and he has some skill and speed too. At the moment it seems uncertain if he has the toolbox to use his assets properly though.

Killinen has realistic chance to grab the spot in the roster of Ässät but if not, then he should at least see some time in either juniors or in second tier league Mestis.

Hopefully he can maintain his health and start to show off his potential that got him drafted

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Wouldn't it be funny if, all of a sudden, after years of somewhat stagnating, that this guy late-blooms his way into ELC status? Hey, I'm cheering for him!

Oh, right. I have completely forgot. Let me play you song of my people.
