Signing him would be really hard on Rob Ray.

Those Finns love their cellies
I thought he was still draft eligible...
Nope. He's 22 years old as far as draft eligibility is concerned, which means that since he has not been previously drafted, he is not draft eligible. The fact that he's a late birthday doesn't matter.
8.4 Eligibility for Claim.
(a) All Players age 18 or older are eligible for claim in the Entry Draft, except:
[...]
(v) a Player age 22 or older who has not been selected in a previous Entry Draft and shall be eligible to enter the League as an Unrestricted Free Agent pursuant to Article 10.1(d).
[...]
8.10 Age of Players. As used in this Article, "age 18" means a Player reaching his eighteenth birthday between January 1 next preceding the Entry Draft and September 15 next following the Entry Draft, both dates included; "age 19" means a Player reaching his nineteenth birthday by no later than September 15 in the calendar year of the Entry Draft; "age 20" means a Player reaching his twentieth birthday by no later than December 31 in the calendar year of the Entry Draft; "age 21" means a Player reaching his twenty-first birthday by December 31 in the calendar year of the Entry Draft; and "age 22" means a Player reaching his twenty-second birthday by December 31 in the calendar year of the Entry Draft.
After watching one of his highlight videos, Seems to have a good release. King of Empty Net Goals. Finds himself on top of the crease to cash in goals. Looks to have okay skating.
Again, this is just watching highlights so I'm sure I'm missing a lot of his game
Fan of the club he is currently signed on (Ilves) so I've got pretty clear vision what he is and what he aint.
Fast, hard working and the key piece for Ilves this past year. Is from the same class actually as Sebastian Aho and Jesse Puljujärvi but was the only one left to take the step overseas. Most likely undrafted due to his size which may be a limiting factor for sure.
I'm fine with this just to make R2 jokes all year.
Signing him would be really hard on Rob Ray.
A 1997 born player that finishes 9th in goals in the Finnish league does not have the potential to be a legit NHL'er.
42 points in 59 games in Finland would translate to <20 points in the NHL. We don't need more crappy players.
One of the more incorrect anything’s I’ve seen postedI'd love to know where you pulled that projection from.
