Prospect Info: Juuso Parssinen, C, 210th Overall, TPS

[Scoresberg]

I don't think he sat 8-10 mins. He has played 13 minutes so far, which is around the same ballpark as the rest of the players with most ice-time.

1+1 after two periods, nice snipe on PP.

Is he going to play this year in Liiga? No camp for him?

He is heading to Camp, but most likely will spent the year with TPS.

I thought I saw Nurmi and Rodewald, but no Parssinen for a long period of time, but maybe you're right. He played over 1:30 on PK at the end of the period, thought, so let's see how the time on ice breaks out.

edit: Ok his TOI doesn't indicate he was sitting. I guess I just missed him.

His goal from today:

I mean, I don't wanna jinx anything, and I know all too painfully well that I also got excited about every other prospect pool we had pretty much, but... I dunno, even with those caveats I still feel like our scouting dept has been hitting pretty great lately.

I'll wait to see what they do on the NHL level.

It's still nice to have some hope for the future that isn't the Veseys of the world.

Ironically he just scored his 3rd goal of the season

 

[gobbluth]

13 games 5+10 so far. First line center. Dominating and is carrying the team almost alone to the peak spot in Liiga. You have something big here for nothing. This year would have been too early for him though in NA.

Milwaukee reinforcements coming soon?

Milwaukee reinforcements coming soon?

He missed a fair number of games too, right? Leading the team in scoring but only played like 60% of the games?

Turku is doing pretty well but it seems like there is still a fair bit of parity in the Liiga? They always finish (no pun intended!) before we do, so he should be available to come over at some point. Just not... "soon"... more like a question if he can get 2 games or 5 games or 10 games at the end of the season?

This is where it would help extra though if Milwaukee was good enough to have a playoff run. Then these guys could come over and get those extra playoff games too. Having the Milwaukee season end early also limits how much cameo time we can give to these guys.

I’ve watched a few TPS games this year and I really like what I’ve seen from Pärssinen. He dominates with his size and the ability to see the ice and control the play. He’s also improved his shot which was a muffin last year.

For a 7th round pick it is very rare to make it to the NHL but with Pärssinen, I think it could be close.

I only remember thinking he might need to add some more "pace" to his game for the NHL... he seems to be smart and good at shielding the puck, but how is his skating coming along?

Better but needs more explosiveness. He needs to adapt and learn the stop-and-go mentality opposed to the gliding on bigger ice.

Pärssinen chosen to Team Finland for the Russia & Czech tournament.

 

[herzausstein]

I really hope he ends up in North America next season. His improvement over the years in the Liiga has me excited to see what he can do here

 

[Scoresberg]

I think he will make the jump next year.

He has 21 points in 18 games this year in Liiga, so there should not be anything left to accomplish beyond this year in Finland.

Juuso Pärssinen once again being the best C in the Liiga playoffs. Solid all-around play. 11 games, 3+7=10p

[King Weber]

didn't take long for Juuso to get his first point. Primary assist on the Donovan goal

That was a good look off to make the PKer think he was going to shoot then a solid pass right in the wheel house.

The kid played well tonight. He’s hungry and deserves to be on the roster.
