Prospect Info: Jesse Kiiskinen -RW

[Go Wings]

He's probably the third best winger in the system behind Mazur and Buchelnikov.

That says more about our lack of depth at wing then him

This Kiiskinen <> Gibson trade had nothing to do with Walman.

It was just a prospect swap.

Think Kiiskinen was 2nd youngest and played 2nd most games (38 games) of Liiga-rookies. Pelicans was just strong team where could not fit to scoring role. Situation at HPK could totally change this next year.

But good indicator is that rare 18-year old is that good defensively, to be used at Bottom6 role.

Only Emil Hemming, 2024 draftee, was younger than Kiiskinen, played 40 games, scored 1 point more.

Pure coincidence that the 2nd round pick involved in the trade was used about an hour later in the Walman transaction...

Yeah, he could have used Red Wings own 2nd.

But this time it went different.

Multiple negotiations happening at same time - amazing.

GMs doing their work.
