I was at games 2 and 4, and he really was one of the best HIFK players in both games. Not bad for a 2004 born prospect..

Really excited to see how Kaskimaki shows at the WJC this year. Hoping he can develop into a legit NHL player!

Just wanted to say thank you for posting these highlights. As a Blues fan who doesn’t get to watch Kaskimaki live, I really appreciate any and all updates on his play and clips!

I'm not surprised how good Kaskimäki has been in these U20 WJC's.
He's played well in HIFK and he's got confidence on scoring.

Kaskimäki has been IFK's leading U20 scorer almost whole season.
Even he hasn't scored much in these U20 WJC's he's been one of the best Finnish players.

It is great to see Kaskimäki playing well in SM liiga and U20 national team.
All these things means good for him when he's back to HIFK after the tournament.
If Kaskimäki stays healthy he'll be impact player for HIFK in SM liiga playoffs.

Kaskimäki also has 1 year left of his 3 yrs SM liiga contract with HIFK
so St Louis Blues should let him play one more year in HIFK before bringing him to AHL / NHL.

I would imagine the plan is to let him stay over there next year, as we have alot of guys either in Springfield or will be there next year. Love hearing the positive info, and look forward to seeing him in camp next year.

Having a fantastic rookie season so far in the AHL:

I'm surprised Kaskimäki leads his AHL team in points. He didn't show a lot of offense in Liiga or WJCs.

 

[Hockeyville USA]

30 GP, 22 PTS, fully back on the radar after a couple underwhelming years in Liiga. Surprise story in the A this season.
