Value of: A Finnish player to EDM (that's a regular in the lineup)

What's wrong with a translator?

He'll eventually pick up english when 95% of what he's hearing is just that.

There's also no guarentee he plays in the NHL next season. That will depend on his training camp and what the Oilers end up doing with Yakupov.
 
To be honest if I were the Oilers I'd just hire the kid a professional English tutor while he's back home in Finland if it's that big of a deal. 1-2 hours a day for 2 months would likely be all that's needed to bump his English up to decent, English is not *that* hard of a language to be able pick up enough to get by.

He already started classes with Private tutor after the u-20.

Well yeah. Once a week and not in the summer. Don't think Soundwave meant something like that.

Opettelin kerran viikossa neljä kuukautta tuossa kauden aikana sitä. Jonkin verran siinä jo oppi. Kesällä keskityn kyllä treenaamiseen. Kyllä se sieltä sitten aikanaan tulee.
