Julius Nattinen
Yeah, he's scoring non-stop in Kubalik's former spot for Ambri. 8 goals in 5 games. Pretty much the same type of player. Maybe not quite as skilled but even bigger and even better two way game. But for a big man he's a good skater and his finish is similar to Kubalik's. Always in the right spot and he's making the lasers and one timers he's firing look incredibly easy.
Remains to be seen if he can keep it up but he was point per game for JYP, too last season scoring 33 goals.
Again, reminds me a lot of Kubalik. He also admitted that Kubalik's story is the reason why he ended up in Ambri. Nättinen wants to play in the NHL and I don't know why he shouldn't be good enough to do it.

Is there a reason he has the yellow helmet with flames on it and the rest of the team had blue helmets?
Yeah and if you go back and watch the Kubalik youtubes, he was wearing the yellow "TOP SCORER" jersey too.Yeah, and I don't know why no other country does this. In Switzerland, the teams leading scorers get to wear the yellow helmet and a special yellow jersey. Makes a lot of sense:
- additional sponsor paying lots of money
- top scorers are easier to identify for both fans and opponents
It's the Swiss post behind it. They're paying money to the teams and national junior programs for every point scored by their top scorers. I think they're also paying money to the league for the tv exposure. In my view this is a great deal for everybody.
Game Center National League
Last season, Pius Suter, with his 53 points, generated 15'900 Swiss Francs for the ZSC Lions junior program.
