First career Sm-Liiga goal for the 6 foot 3(ish) 17 year old Roby (2nd career game), congrats. Lucky goal, but goal nevertheless.

Was a winning goal!

Jarventie now holds the goal-scoring record for a U18 Mestis season(18 in 28gp). I know this isn't that impressive since the best Finnish prospects generally bypass the Mestis and go straight to the Liiga, but he's scored at almost the exact same rate as Patrik Puistola(who looked quite good at the WJC's) did in the same league last year. Any chance Jarventie gets loaned to a struggling Liiga team?

 

[Killerjas]

There goes my hidden gem prospect that might surprise a lot of people!

He is good.

 

[BuiumSaveUs]

He should go in 2nd 2 for sure

 

[Dread Clawz]

I think this guy goes off the board early in the 2nd.

This doesn't sound good for Järventie.

Sounds like a highly underrated boom or bust prospect

Mestes must be a terrible pro league. This guy killed it this year and is projected to go in the 2nd round. He’s as young as they come, too.

Mestis isn't up there as far as leagues go for sure. It's still behind some countries second leagues like VHL, Allsvenskan and possibly Czech2 as well. Still, a record is a record.

Sounds like a highly underrated boom or bust prospect

My thoughts exactly. Really like his skills in close and ability to get shots through blocks, release is pretty nice also. Skating and hockey sense are above-average too, but he doesn't have ++skill, isn't even close to an elite thinker of the game nor a very energetic player in all three zones. If everything clicks with him you've got borderline first-line upside, but if it doesn't you have a taller, stronger, slower Hunter Shinkaruk, AKA a complete bust.

I wouldn't draft him in the second, it's too risky, but in the third he's a real solid pick that could pay great dividends to the team that drafts him ala Victor Olofsson.

Anyways, Jarventie is definitely another one of those you keep tabs on in the coming years, and an interesting gamble for those teams with depth that can afford to ''waste'' a draft pick in the likely scenario that he doesn't make it.

I wouldn't really call it a pro league. Rather, I'd say it's a semi pro league. You make less playing in Mestis than you'd make working as a cashier at a supermarket.

Yeah, Mestis isn't great. I am eager to see what Järventie can do in Liiga this season. I hope that playing in a better league will light a fire and make him work harder 'cos the main criticism towards him is his motivation. Maybe it hasn't been that great because Mestis isn't a true pro league so it is not so competetative. In Liiga the competetion is better and should force him to work harder.
