Just wondering if anyone has seen him play or can comment?
Seattle Thunderbirds drafted him recently in the Import draft and he just signed today and will be joining Seattle for the upcoming season.
GM Russ Farwell...
“We are pleased to add Moilanen to our team,†said Farwell. “He is a prolific goal scorer and will be an exciting addition.â€
He played 38 games last season with the Jokerit U-20 team in Finland. He had 21 goals and 14 assists for 35 points with 20 penalty minutes.
He was a member of the gold medal winning Finnish team at the U-18 World Championship in April. He played in seven games at the tournament in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and had an assist. Finland beat Sweden 6-1 in the gold medal game.
Moilanen, a 1999-born forward, played for Finland at the 2015 World U-17 Hockey Challenge in November. He appeared in three games and did not register a point.
During the 2014-15 hockey season Moilanen played for the Jokerit U-16, U-18 and U-20 teams. In 37 combined games between the three teams he had 27 goals and 25 assists for 52 points
