how about his physical game, very soft hands and licking the ice on moving. Mario type of player.

No idea what this means but I like the sound of it!
That was maybe a bit random word to use
What I tried to say is that Nättinen's game is more based on pure skill and hockey IQ than Koivus game. Koivu also has a decent skill level and hockey IQ but he likes to spend more time near the boards, backcheck, use his body and do that kind of hockey's "soilwork".

Anyone get a chance to watch him?
Did Anaheim get a late 2nd round steal?

He has good value for a second rounder for sure. I think he could have been worth a late first round pick at the time and I still do. He has a high floor in my opinion, but his ceiling remains a question. He has a very balanced skill set and I'm confident that he will become at least a good 3rd line center in the NHL, but he seems to have the offensive abilities to become a good top-6 option as well. We shall see.
I watched many of his games, especially in the first half of Barrie's season. Nattinen has noticeably improved over the course of the season. His offensive instincts have always been impressive but recently, his faceoff-winning percentage has been well above 50% and he's been sound defensively. He regularly sees time on the PK as well as top-PP action.
Nattinen will likely play in the AHL next season then enter the NHL the following season once Nate Thompson's contract expires.
Edit ~ I'll add one more thing. He's an incredibly mature player and always composed with the puck. His vision and hockey IQ is exceptional.

Yes, an undisclosed lower body injury that was said to be day-to-day, although I'm beginning to think otherwise. Barrie just swept North Bay without Nattinen and Sadowy. Should both return for their series against Niagara, they stand a good chance of making a long playoff run.

Not much talk even though he had a solid year

Hasn't played in the past month because Windsor was knocked out of the playoffs. He's looked good so far in the Memorial Cup
what happened to this guy this season? not only did his points drop off, but his skating looks worse
I have been wondering the same lately. Does anybody have any knowledge of a nagging injury or some other kind of long term problem that has caused trouble to his development? Really a huge setback in points his last season, when compared to his previous season.
Mediocre top gear and not a whole lot of intensity, this has always been a bit of a problem for him.
Another thing worth noting is that he was very much an early developer. His physical development and the steepest section of his development curve occured much earlier than with most of his peers. This gave him an advantage when he was in his teens, but now this advantage is gone.
As far as his point totals go, playing in a 'second fiddle' role on that deep Spitfires roster might have something to do with it.

Ducks terminated his contract, hopefully he can turn it around if/when he returns to Finland.

He is simply not NHL material. I can’t see it ever happening that he would be in the NHL. I see a bit above average Liiga player in him. Right now he is not even that, but he might be at his peak.

Probably yes. He is like different player compared to last season. He skates so much better and that shot IS lethal as hell.
