Why would a Finn go to Swedish Elite league though?
I agree though. He has basically done all the things at the OHL level and playing against men would start injecting those correct habits into his game.
Ha, sorry, the Finnish league.
But yeah, he's already done almost everything he can at that level, won a championship, excelled at the WJCs ... going to a mid-level European men's league to start refining pro habits would have been the perfect next step IMO. You could see the trouble he had with the pace of forecheckers last night, and another year in junior where he can outthink those guys with ease won't help on that front.
