This whole tournament, Halttunen has disappointed. Just hasn't achieved much. Compare to someone like Emil Järventie and Halttunen looks pedestrian.
Even being a first rounder would require a great performance in Liiga and he's on Tappara who's a top contender who definitely will not be handing any ice time for development purposes.
If Halttunen goes to London that could raise his stock but Finnish players have usually taken some time adjusting to CHL.
Now, I know that Slafkovsky didn't have an amazing Liiga season either but I REALLY can't see Halttunen having international performances like Slafkovsky. Even though I think Slafkovsky has his issues, Halttunen is honestly not even close. I doubt he even makes the u20 team.
