Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
Sointu saw his stock plummet during his draft year from a 27th amongst European skaters as a mid-term ranking to a final ranking of 42nd.
Talent Analysis
A forward with soft hands and natural goal scoring ability, Sointu would likely be ranked much higher amongst European prospects in his draft class if it were not for his slight frame. Sointu has fantastic hockey vision to go along with his soft hands and if he can overcome his size could be an impact offensive player.
Future
If drafted Sointu will be taken in the later rounds and be given ample time to develop. Because of his slight build there are many questions as to whether his body can handle the rigors of North American Hockey. He does however have soft hands and goal-scoring ability which should get him a job somewhere.
