He's actually mostly playing for Skellefteås SHL-team, (I'd advice you to remove "Allsvenskan" from the title if you want us fans to help you... 
) 19-1-3-4
PMD. Great on the PP, good wristshot, makes very good stretch passes. Often goes pretty deep into the offensive zone but doesn't let it affect his defense.
Not sure what more to say. He's incredibly talented, the problem is that he still gets beaten on pure lack of size and strength. Guess that's why his teammate Marcus Pettersson (6'3") is ahead of him in many rankings even though Aho is more skilled.
And no, I'm pretty sure there's no relation to the Finnish '97-born forward with the same name even though the swedish Aho has a lot of finnish relatives.

Looks like Marcus Pettersson is ahead not only in the draft rankings but also in Skellefteå now aswell. He's the one playing in SHL now, while Aho is with J20.
So Honka goes 14 and Aho doesn't even get drafted?
This is wrong. I thought he'd be a 3rd rounder at worst. I know he's small but teams have been picking smaller players with inferior talent in the last few rounds and picking a lot of players that do not have much talent.

Offered and lost
Size-Queens the lot of them. This is not the end of his NHL journey. He'll spend the next season in SHL and show everybody how wrong they were not to pick him.
that is unfortunate
woops
Kase and Aho were ranked 8th and 9th amongst European skaters, Kase ended up getting picked by Anaheim 6th last and Aho went undrafted, weird to see them fall that hard.

I think it's further proof Central Scouting has zero impact on how NHL teams operate. It's really only there for fans and media.

So the preds will pick him up next season in the 4th round after he puts up great numbers?
Really surprised he didn't get picked this year. If he puts up big numbers next season he'll get picked up by someone, but with the depth 2015 has he might end up being a relatively late pick.

Not about who is best now, it's about who was the potential to be an effective NHLer.

Skellefteå defencemen in this draft:
#38 Marcus Pettersson - 10 SHL games
#144 Anton Lindholm - 21 SHL games (1994)
#148 Andreas Söderberg - 0 SHL games
--- Sebastian Aho - 34 SHL games
Obviously Aho must have trouble playing against men.

Aho still trumps Pettersson in terms of potential. He's just way more skilled. (And I say that as a friend to MPs father...)

Where would you ranked Lundberg against all of them?

Still can't believe he went undrafted. Was screaming for the habs to take him in the 7th.
