History

2007-08: This talented Finn had a nice season in Saskatoon, putting up 34 points (14 goals) in 49 games from the blueline.  He had some issues with a bad wrist and a foot injury, which limited his appearances.  He was clearly able to contribute when he was in the lineup, however.  Also of note is the power of his shot, clocked at 97 mph at the Top Prospects Competition.  He has had surgery on his hip, too, and this clearly contributed to his dropping a bit on draft day.
