It's probably HIFK or Karpat for Vaakanainen.
Maybe not Karpat since Marjamaki isn't their coach anymore next season?

Well he's supposedly leaving Espoo Blues so it could happen.
Don't think Marjamaki matters. Karpat d is going to get overhauled this off-season and if Nutivaara is leaving to North-America i think they will throw enough money to get Vaakainen.
I see him going to Hifk, ässät or OHL alot more than Kärpät.
What are the odds of him playing at the U18's this spring?
In which respects this kid surpasses"allegedly" also Olli Juolevi, or what was the guys first name?
Is the consensus of talent levels really this: Vaakanainen > Juolevi> Maatta.
I wanna see before I believe dis.
It's official Espoo Blues went bankruptcy.
Which liiga team will sign Vaakanainen i hope it's HIFK.

I hope its a team where he will get a lot of playing time.
So what? Cannot Blues go on under some other owner(s) - Like that Salonoja dude again, and this question is premature.
What i read today's iltalehti there was some mystery owner candidate outside of Finland who was ready to willing to pay all the debts of Espoo Blues.
But no-one knows who it was and where those moneys come from.
The story of Espoo Blues FEL team is over yes that's sad but there's no hope anymore.
Finnish Elite Leagues management are announced Espoo Blues is unable to play next season in Finnish Elite League.
And what comes to Urho Vaakanainen he's free to go.
Here's all iltalehti articles of Espoo Blues bankruptcy.

how good is he compared to Välimäki? and do any of these two project to potentially be better than Juolevi?
Can anyone give a scouting report on Vaakanainen?
He played really good yesterday in CAN - FIN U18 game. He was really confident in outlet passes and when he had the puck, he almost always made the right decision and moved the puck fast.
If everything goes as planned, some team will get a really solid D in future.
Doesn't belong to this tournament yet.
What a timing
Everytime I see him I think Juolevi is on the ice.
