Love the pick.

 

[BB88]

Great IQ, great wrister, needs to add strenght.

But a potential beauty.

 

[vokiel]

Center or Right Wing? What's his play style?

I'm liking the profile of this pick.

Corey Pronman says this "MTL picks Joni Ikonen. Love him, had in end of my first round. One of best playmakers in the draft class."

 

[le_sean]

Great pick

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Yeah, solid pick.

 

[ProspectsFanatic]

Center or Right Wing? What's his play style?

Winger he is a sniper with excellent puck handling ability.

 

[Kraken Jokes]

[Mrb1p]

Loved that pick.

 

[The Great Weal]

Excellent pick, really like this one

 

[habsterr]

Great pick up at 58

 

[Whitesnake]

Solid pick. As unanimous as the Collberg pick. With, hopefully, a different result.

 

[The Price is Right]

Lekhonen 2.0?

 

[Kraken Jokes]

Like... I might have moved up to get him. Glad we didn't have to.

 

[Clearedwaivers]

More pumped about this puck than our first rounder. Lol.

 

[Nedved]

has talent. boom or bust pick, but that's what we need when we're drafting wingers. good pick! we don't need bottom six guys, we can sign them for nothing or trade 2 2nds for shaw!!!

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Totally down for drafting Finns.

 

[Jabba11]

Joni Ikonen solid pick!

 

[Asamu]

Lehkonen future teammate. Damn he looks like a 1st round pick to me. Solid skills and what a hockey family too. His father Juha Ikonen had a great hockey career too.

 

[BB88]

Lekhonen 2.0?

I have more of a Aho potential feeling with him.

 

[TT1]

great pick

 

[LastWordArmy]

Absolutely love this pick.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

I have more of a Aho potential feeling with him.

A more finesse and skill player than Lehkonen, also I don't think he's quite on Aho's level in IQ (doesn't mean it's bad). Aho also is incredible in protecting the puck for someone his size, which I don't think Ikonen matches. Still, a very nifty and creative player with good potential.
