Prospect Info: At 24th Overall the Jets Select Kristian Vesalainen

[Bob E]

Wonder if his goal gets called off, with a 2 min penalty for slashing, in the NHL

Faceoff likely doesn’t happen to begin with.

Doubt it. That wasn't even close to his hands

Only if the player dropped his stick and started shaking his hand...

 

[Bob E]

17 mins for Kristian today and 6 shots. But lost 2-1.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Two goals so far tonight.

What would be considered a good offensive year in Liiga? 15 goals? 0.5 ppg?

Like 30 points from him i think? So yeah around 0.5

0.7ppg would be a good target for him to hit but around 0.5ppg is fine

Last few mid 1st rounders D+1 years in liiga:
#16oa Armia: 0.7ppg
#18oa Teräväinen: 0.7ppg
#22oa Kapanen: 0.5ppg

Why would more be better? The bottom 3 of ur list is almost better than top 3. Its a crapshoot it thinks.

Eh, more would obviously be better? What these players did or did not end up becoming has no bearing on that, truly.

In any case, Vesalainen had 3 points in 8 games in September and now has 4 points in 5 games in October so far. Hopefully he can carry this momentum towards a successful season.

i can see Vesalianen being a Charlie Coyle type of player or no ?

He's on a very low-scoring team. Right now, he's 2nd on his team in points / game and points / 60 minutes.

 

[Beavski24]

I don't really have to much faith in this prospect

Sorry, but I have to say that these type of comments are pretty useless. Maybe you could share with us what makes you not see him as a good prospect, and make your post have really some kind of value?

 

[PhilJets]

The kid is a middle six type project.

If he becomes legit 2nd line Jets win.

 

[JetsFan815]

Corsi has also been steadily improving as well. Him being moved on a line away from that Lehtonen player who seems like HPK's version of Chris Thorburn seemed to have helped a lot.

 

[Moon Man]

This guy seems really good. If he is able to improve just our 3rd line when he's ready, then I think that's a good win for us. Anything better (2nd line and up) and our win becomes massive. He also seems like he would be great on the power play.

He's has good size too, just needs to sharpen up some things.

 

[Garbox]

That first goal of his was well executed, but he sure got a lot of help from Ässät D. God awful.
Too bad I didn't remember him being in HPK, could have paid attention on him. Usually I don't bother concetrating on visitors players (and right now there's enough concerns in Ässät's game to worry about).
But at least he didn't stand out so much that he would've gotten my attention. Big frame but still a young boy in men's league (and not Laine/Armia caliber).

 

[thrillhous]

2 assists in the 1st period against KalPa, game is still in the 2nd period. Seems like he's gaining some momentum.

 

[Trilliann]

3rd assist

 

[Kaako Kappo]

So just like that he's almost PPG. Lul.

 

[Hammer Slammer]

10 points in 14 games for the moment

Puts him in the lead by 3 points for U19 scoring in Liiga

 

[Aavco Cup]

3rd assist

Bust....can't score goals anymore
