F Joakim Kemell - JYP, FIN JRS (2022, 17th, NSH)

[NHL Dude 120]

I'd say he's the player you are looking for then, he is quite dynamic and can even play physically with grit.

Thank you I don’t think we will will the draft lottery but he should hopefully be a realistic target for us. We are trying to build a team thats a pain the rear to play against and a playoff team that would make any playoff series seem like a war.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

How is his defensive game? Does he compete? Is he more a pure scorer or a well rounded guy and what's his character like?

Curious to ask these questions as the Sens are very very sensitive to this and want players who can compete every night.

I don’t think he’s a big liability in this area, but I wouldn’t expect more than average impact in this area. His game is offense.

As long as its not crap then thats fine.

Definitely not crap. Not a future Selke winner either, but he is a competitive, physical guy. The way he doesn't make it is if his offense doesn't translate.

That's all we ask. If we keep Connor Brown he can teach Kemell all about the defensive side.

He’s going 2nd OA and will play in the NHL next year

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

He has nice skating but seems to lack top end speed. Kemmel with another gear would be a nightmare.

He’s going 2nd OA and will play in the NHL next year

I hope he stays at least one season in Liiga or starts in AHL. Best not to rush these prospects as we've witnessed past couple of years.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

There's no way he's healthy. Missing all the swagger.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Surprisingly small role vs Germany, no PP1 duties, ice time was just over 12 minutes.
- can't do much with those minutes

That's part of Team Finland coaching system thou, always dividing the ice to all 4 lines
- i looked at the Canada game statistics, their top 6 guys and best players played the most minutes,
where as couple of our 3rd, 4th liners got about 15 minutes of ice time.

Shifts of Kemell (WJC):

 

[JJTT]

Kemell returned to action last week and played his 3rd game since the WJC yesterday. He's looked decent so far and the points should start coming soon.

Pretty clear he wasn't close to 100% when he returned before the WJC's but looks like he should be back to normal now.

 

[Osakahaus]

well he had a shoulder injury, so that does explain a ton as to why he hasn't been scoring as much. still going to end up as a top 5 pick

I wouldn't want to be the one passing on one of Wright, Savoie, Cooley, Nemec or Jiricek for Kemell, that's for sure.

I would still pick Kemell over Jiricek or Savoie imo

 

[Killerjas]

Last 10 games he got 0 goals and 0 assists. He is a completely different player compared to when he started this season... He is dropping on my list, got him around 9-10 now....

Has his skillset changed that much?

How has he played besides the weak scoring? You probably watch a lot of him so can you tell?

 

[Zub]

He had stars align for him for that hot stretch, it happen's, he didn't really create any of the scoring himself he just happened to finish alot of the chances at that time, i said this all along.

Yes he did. Almost all of it was him and no one else. He's playing with two grinders who've zero playmaking ability. Why do you lie? Or are you really this ignorant?

I did think that it was really impressive for him to score that much on a team that bad & with linemates that bad, but him getting injured and not being able to score afterwards could, you know, be related

Let's agree to disagree, he was good at putting the puck in the net.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

No. You're wrong and relying a false narrative to people who don't even have the possibility to watch him. Go watch the highlights. If you think that there's a single goal there where he just "Puts it in" while someone else does the work, please do tell.

Not a single scouting report lines up with your assessment, so you might just not be able to fully see or understand his skill set.

 

[Goldenhands]

He has been playing with very little confidence since his injury. Offensively, he isnt scoring and like many goalscorers, when you cant score, you start doubting, but he still does some good things on the ice, kid is gritty, physical, will crush some guys here and there, the skills level with the puck are still there, its only a matter of finding the back of the net and regain confidence. Kid is too skilled to not eventually bounce back.

Depends on how much of it you think is temporary due to the injury.

He had stars align for him for that hot stretch, it happen's, he didn't really create any of the scoring himself he just happened to finish alot of the chances at that time, i said this all along.

Terrible assessment, and very incorrect. He specifically had to do everything on his own. His linemates were atrocious.
