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

[Luigi#17]

Will he get paired by Lassila or someone else?

Well, it's Vidgren & Salonen again as I see in pre-match lineup, Lassila in 4. kenttä. Hopefully they shake it during the game...

Kemell did score yesterday but generally he still needs some help to set him up for a scoring chance. Yesterday he got help from the opposing team player who fumbled the puck to him.

True. But good forchecking/anticipation/readiness.

 

[Jukurit]

I think Kemell was a bit disappointing in 5 nations tournament. Sometimes good plays, but then also bad plays too where he turns the puck over. Got outplayed by fellow 2022 draft pick Jani Nyman.

 

[Luigi#17]

Kemell still not ready to go after the tournament? What kind of illness had he? Does he practise at least?

 

[Jukurit]

Uh oh. Kemell on the 4th line. Bust confirmed.

Scored a goal, under 10 mins of TOI.

Goal is nice, but it's another PP goal. 5 of his 8 goals are PP goals and 60% of his points are PP points. Right now he's a PP specialist. Needs to score more 5on5.

Not going to happen in JYP's bottom 6.

With under 10 mins of ice time? Good luck I guess. Hope for a better next season, somewhere else.

 

[Jukurit]

Very underwhelming WJC pre-tournament game for Kemell. Been a trend with him this season. I'm actually starting to get worried. I predict he'll have an underwhelming WJC.

Kemell 13th forward against Swizerland in tournament opener. Is it too early for the "B" word?

Yes. It's too early for any prospect.

He will get more time. Not sure about this years Finnish team or coach though. Probably team will not make it high this year.

Not sure if serious. Definitely too early though, kid was drafted 6 months ago.

He's having a very underwhelming D+1 season so far. Not a good sign.

I usually give 4 years before b word is allowed

He played a bit in the second pp unit and has looked pretty good, maybe he has been ill or something.

Best foward in team Finland so far.

This is a common misconception that happens because a player does negative things and the commentary discusses it. If he played well…the discourse would be positive. It’s on him.

 

[Jukurit]

Both Finnish first rounders from 2022 draft already looking like busts. Great.

One poster is being negative about him. Just one.

Kemell's season hasn't been great that's for sure. Not surprising considering that he has played on the 3rd line on a bad team with players who can't make plays. Very little powerplay minutes. Very little chances to succeed. I hope he goes to the AHL as soon as possible.

This is not true. A lot of people are starting to raise question marks regarding him and his development these 18 last months.
He's a prospect but how has become better?
Even if he produces more than Lambert, they've both struggled in similar fashion this year.
He lost the puck in OT that ended up being the winning goal for Swiss as well.
Let's see if he can produce like last year or even better.
Even if i wont call him a bust before he's 22-23 of age but lets be honest and question his latest showings as well.

 

[Jukurit]

Here's turnover against Switzerland in OT. Should've obviously passed the puck back to blue line, but instead holds it too long and gets stripped. That type of play I've seen Kemell do often where he holds the puck just too long and tries to make something happen all by himself, but fails and turns it over.
