Marc Staal type? I'm also interested to see how he does, mainly on faceoffs.

Incorrect.
Probably won't be a superstar but definitely looks like one of the most surefire future NHL-players from this draft at the moment. If I had to predict right now I'd say late first round safe pick.
He looks like a future NHLer...but don't see any more than bottom-6 C upside.
Hard to take a guy like that with a 1st imo. But could make for a good pick in the later half of the 2nd.
Wouldn't shock me at all if a GM who values his size and two-way play takes him late 1st though.
A bottom 6C with picks 20-40 is good though. Usually most of thoose picks doesnt turn into an NHL-player even. With his size and defensive abilities + ok offensive game, I`m pretty sure he gets picked before #40.

He's basically a poor mans Byfield that's even bigger. I hope he carries the mean game torch from his father, will be a cool prospect to follow.
I think Helenius will be a project.
The question mark is, like usually with huge players, his skating.
Can he get it to good level? If so he could be quite a valuable player.
Or just another Hartikainen. (Was it Hartikainen that Edmonton Mountain that just was to slow to NHL? Had tools, grit etc, but that speed... )
