I see where this guy is 6'4. I have heard he has some skills...maybe not numbchuck skills but has anyone seen him and can someone tell me who he plays like?
Isn't he a defenceman?Pekka Lampinen said:Joensuu is bipolar in shooting bias. He likes to carry the puck. I see him leaning towards playmaking in the future. His strength and skating are still far from optimal, but he's making good use of what he's got right now and I predict that he'll be able to work on them longer and better than most players. Although his work ethic is without question and he's comfortable in corners, he has little meanness to his physical game. He can do some difficult things with the puck and read the game quickly. Those two abilities are mostly still flashes, as they should be on a player of his age.
It's hard to pinpoint a single comparison. A hybrid between Marian Gaborik and Mikko Koivu, perhaps.
He is a below average skater as wellPekka Lampinen said:Joensuu is bipolar in shooting bias. He likes to carry the puck. I see him leaning towards playmaking in the future.

Pepper said:His upside is higher than anyone in the 2006 draft because of the incredible mix of skill & size but the chances for him to reach that potential are not as high as with some of the other guys like Kessel or Frolik. It takes lot of time for him to learn use his 6'4 body effectively.
