Pass watch: 6 teams have passed ahead of pick #79. So our 2nd pick is now down to #73. No one has officially passed ahead of pick #19 (Kitchener at #30 is the only one that has officially passed their first pick). By "officially", I mean that it's already passed on the website. www.chl.ca/draft/chlUnofficially CB to pass, CB post and Herald. 16th pick. Now official on the CHL site as well. First Moose pick now at #18. 17 teams have passed between #19 and #79, so the Moose pick would technically be #62.

Seeing as I didn't know what time the draft started, I thought you were serious for a second. Your dedication to comedy is admirable considering you even found that guy. Kebabs ON Pizza PLEASE!!!

www.eliteprospects.com/player.php?player=196406If he plays, I believe he's the first Finn to play for the Mooseheads. Have no idea about rankings of the prospects, so I have no idea if this is a steal or not. I'm actually more intrigued to see if we pick in the 2nd round and who we pick.

Point-a-game for Jokerit under-18 as a 15-year-old, point a game internationally last year, whilst playing for Jokerit's under-20 program. Decent size, 6', 184.
EDIT: Also made a late-2014 edition of scoutman's top 40 for 2016 on HFBoards, it turns out.

I know Kyle Turris played Jr B in BC before joining Phoenix but overall, not sure how the caliber is.

Certainly not calling him a second coming of anything -- until I see him in street clothes, at least -- but still good numbers against older competition nonetheless.
Anyone been able to come across any sort of "style of play" info?

Would be cool if he is like a lot of Finns - great defensively with offensive touch. If he fits that mold, could be on both special teams units right away.
