F Konsta Helenius - Jukurit, FIN Liiga (2024, 14th, BUF)

[Erikfromfin]

Right shot right winger. A skating machine flies past opponents down the wing also has good hands and goalscorers shot and finishing abilities also works hard defensivily. Top Finns for 2024 Draft.

Few good flashes, decent defensively, he needs at least 2 years in AHL, definitely longshot.

Let's not forget that he's more than two years younger than great and hyped prospects like Noah Östlund and Jiri Kulich, first rounders as well. Of course he will play at least one season with Rochester.
If he even makes it next year and one year before they did that's quite impressive because I consider those two other prospects as very promising.

I mean the Sabres do have such a young forward group but they are older than Konsta. It will be difficult to get ice time before other first round picks before. I can mention others like Rosén, Benson, Cozens, Krebs, Peterka besides stars in their prime like TT and Tuch.
Thing is I already rate Östlund and Kulich higher than some of the players in Sabres. Peterka is born 2002 and very underrated in the league and it's not like they will keep Konsta playing in a fourth line role.
So not even a hot take seeing him playing for the Rochester by now.

Kulich had 2 great seasons in AHL, Rosen too. I think every new guy in that org(Blunt Sabres) is busted unless he wants to play in bottom6.

He plays very "vet like". Willing to take contact, makes smart plays over flashy ones, and defensively sound. I've actually seen him pass off good opportunities in his other preseason games, so I was happy to see him hit that one-timer home.

He needs a year or two in the A to continue to develop for sure. There is an NHL player here though

Very few Finns who have played a good season in liiga will play more than a season in the AHL due to its track record with Finnish skaters.

Watched him play against Detroit yesterday.

He’s going to be one hell of a player as soon as this season for the sabres; he was a force to reckon with out there.
Congrats sabres fans on getting a real good one!

Thought he looked really good against Ottawa the other night, interested to see how his year goes
