He’s Kravtsov 2.0 with slightly less creativity/playmaking and a better shot

Yep.

- Both are early birthdays
- Both played u20 tournaments but missed the WJC in their D-year
- Both played a significant portion in the KHL in their D-year
- Both are stylish playmakers who play a good possession game

I can go on, but there are so many similarities
 
Anyway, back to Reunanen. His season has been phenomenal. He has been one of the most exciting players to watch on Lukko, even for non-Ranger fans. He has not been perfect, but he has done so many creative things that don't show up on the scoresheet. This is why you have to watch these players and not just base it off numbers and box scores. What Reunanen did here today, is impressive. Like Kravtsov, who does things that translate very well to other leagues because it has nothing to do with rink size, style etc. It's creativity. They take advantage of the situation and adapt based on what happens around them. It doesn't look like a rehearsed move that players sometimes force and results in a turnover.
 
I call Ilves "Handicapped Lions" because they have a ridiculous logo.

I mean the Finnish coat of arms is a lion driving a sword through it's head, so it's a recurring theme over there.

Strikingly similar to the now-banned avatar theme on HFNYR.
 
Can the Rangers please bring this guy over to North America this fall? Get him a contract and let's see if he can acclimate to the NA rink. Team needs a guy like him.

He has played 1 full season in Liiga. I've said it before, but I have no problem with Tarmo staying in Finland for another year. Let him play another full season and earn a spot on the top pair for the entire year before coming over.
