Not to nitpick but three of the listed prospects are late 98s (Valimaki, Pettersson, Oettinger). Still draft eligible obviously but not 1999 born as the title might suggest.

True, but it's the 99 draft class, hence the title.

The title suggests that they were born in 1999, not 1998.

Vaakanainen did not boost his draft stock against Czechs yesterday.
I don't know what scouts thought about him but to me he didn't show that he's potential 1st rounder at all.

Also guys like Vesalainen,Tolvanen and Heiskanen must step up.

Not that he looked good, he didn't, but I thought Vaakanainen was better than Heiskanen at least.
