RD Anttoni Honka - JYP Jyväskylä, Liiga (2019, 83rd, CAR)

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I wonder if he plans on coming to CHL like his brother did?

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

Anyway for Antton Honka, it seems he's a bit smaller than his older brother (5'9, Julius is 5'11). It might have a negative impact on his draft status.

He will likely grow to around the same height. His other brother Valtteri is 6'1 according to EP.

Hope he somehow ends up in Dallas so we can have 2 Honkas

Maybe they can play in the AHL together. Forever. Yay.

 

[Noma]

Honka with another (primary) assist, and is now up to 1+4 in five games. Only Urho Vaakanainen has had more points in his D-2 season (25GP, 1+5) than Honka.

 

[Zaddy]

Nice assist vs USA:

Made his second Liiga goal yesterday (on time 02:17) : Huippuhetket: Jukurit - JYP
Now he has 2+5 on 13 games +7.

Those are some pretty damn good stats for a guy his age.

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

He has been excellent in the FEL, looking really promising. Early prediction that he will go around 10th spot. I see him as a slightly lesser version of Adam Boqvist.

 

[Patrik Barkov]

Comparing to other u18 dman seasons makes his stats very impressive:

Heiskanen 37. 5+5=10 -1
Ristolainen 40. 3+5=8 -21
Vaakanainen 41. 2+4=6 +5
Pokka 35. 0+3=3 -3
Salo 16. 0+0=0 - 6

Honka 13. 2+5=7 +7

Actually, Honka's performance in Liiga has been far more impressive than anything Boqvist has ever done. Not just the scoring but he also leads the entire league in CF% out of skaters who have played at least 4 games.

 

[Loffer]

Indeed, these nifty Dmen with high end offensive potential proliferating while Finland's C ranks look still poor and lacking, after Mr. Barky has said "hi"; this indicates the Fed should start thinking seriously outta the box what comes to the Finnish system of offense. Dmen should be seen as true puck movers and playmakers, quarter-backing the game and doing the Karlsson thing all night long. Use what you've got and make it a success story. Nuff said. - Centers? f*** them. You know we have these centering Dmen. And we call them Xmen! Wow!

Well maybe, but I think Boqvist is slightly superior as a prospect still.

Honka had 1 point at the Hlinka, Boqvist had 8.

Borgstrom looks good, and Kotkaniemi/Kupari could end up as C's

Yeah, they might end up good. Just looking at things from the humour angle, to make a point, well point of being funny, if nothing else...

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Another assist for him tonight. Top 10 pick 2019?

Brilliant assist as well. Should be getting more hype for sure. Has not been very good in u20 though.

I what world U20 scoring is more important than in Liiga? If he can produce in Liiga, I don't really care about his play in U20 league.

Simplest solution is to take half of the talented defensemen and force them to play center
