Cut from the NHL roster since we went from 36 to 32, but I liked a lot of what I saw. I try not to take much from the prospects tournament, but Reunanen undoubtedly was really good at that tournament and then he looked good in the one preseason game he got.
He was never going to make the team this year and next year isn’t going to be a shoe-in either with the amount of good defensive prospects we have, but I think he has a chance to make the team next year. Some players will definitely be weeded out by then and spots will open up.
On a team that doesn’t have NHL ready depth in defensemen prospects like Fox, Hajek, Rykov and Lindgren, he might’ve made the team or been the last cut. He doesn’t look that far from being NHL ready.
