What would the top end potential be for him do you think?He is going to play in Laval next year and impress alot of people next camp... I think he is closer to the NHL than Suzuki while being younger...
Watching him at the World Jrs last year I saw a 3rd line winger, with a little offensive upside and some speed. A bit of a Byron/Lekhonen hybrid maybe? Less grit than Lek, less defensive ability than both, but also had the best offensive instincts of the 3.
-I'm definitely not a Ylonen hater - just not sure he is more than a 3rd line complimentary guy with a likeable skillset. You definitely need those guys, but as we have a few guys with Starting Goalie, Top 6 FWD, and Top 4D ceilings he tends to fall down my personal rankings a bit.
What do you think of Ikonen? Obviously has had some tough luck with injuries but I definitely like his game as a complementary player in 3-4 years.
