Prospect Info: Oskari Laaksonen (2017, 89th) 2018-19 Ilves - Traded to Dallas

[Sabre Dance]

Listed as 6'1 and 165

Maybe 5'9 130 are his mom's measurements. If so, she single?

 

[1972]

He's a big Karlsson fan based off twitter, so I'm guessing he hopes to be an offensive D.

 

[stokes84]

So is it possible he sprouted 4 inches this year?

 

[JJTT]

Complete shot in dark this pick, nobody in Finland has never heard of this guy. Hasn't even played a single game for the junior national teams.

 

[Sabre the Win]

Someone better be feeding this kid meals with lots and lots of calories.

His protein shakes even need to have pasta grinded up in them.

 

[Onslow]

Yeah I'm seeing 6'1" 165 too

 

[Chainshot]

So is it possible he sprouted 4 inches this year?

Yeah. Or like Al Kotalik's 17-year old stats being used for him right up to when he reported in Buffalo. Things can change.

 

[Ace]

It will be fun to unravel the mystery of this player. Who is he? Where does he play? How tall is he? Did they make him up?

There's some deep deep deep scouting going on here.

The new Tsjumoto?

The new Tsjumoto?

That's exactly what I was thinking

 

[Ace]

I have to order a custom Laaksonen jersey. It would be a good one.

 

[Chainshot]

Hoping he's the Rip Van Winkle of sleepers.

 

[Ralonzo]

How the heck is there a 4 inch, 30 lbs discrepancy in his size?

When you get measurements like 155 centi-reindeer, it's not always exact.

A look inside the Sabres draft prep

 

[Chainshot]

How the heck is there a 4 inch, 30 lbs discrepancy in his size?

If that was old info, it's totally possible. They've updated it to match the Central Registry listing now at 6'1", 165 lbs.

 

[Sabre Dance]

Is he real or a bot?

 

[NotABadPeriod]

One good thing is that the Sabres hold his rights for 4 years so they can be really patient with him as opposed to a CHL guy whom they'd only hold the rights for 2.

Looks like he missed a lot of games this season.

Might be scouting from 15-16.

Split time between two levels.

 

[Jim Bob]

Split time between two levels.

Yeah, but the 37 regular season games versus 48 last year seemed like there was injury or playing time issues of some sort.

Who knows. He'll get slow cooked for sure.

[Ace]

He was on one list of professional scouts for sure you ignorant hack.

Have to love questioning the pros in the same tweet you have to correct your own mistake.

 

[Crazy Tasty]

Harrington doesn't like it? Good.
