Raw Finnish defender with excellent size who moves well with the puck. Has blossomed and past most of the smaller Finn rearguards in terms of development. Has a big cannon of a shot, offensive skills and really good mobility on his skates. His hockey IQ, all-around decision making and puck skills are all evident, it is simply a matter of his raw gifts to be polished into what could be a high end gem.
