Had to run out trying to track on my phone for some guys still available for our next pick?

Did Levis or Pinnelli get picked yet?

Well, if Arem Minnetian is still on the board, then wow wow wee wah.

I'd be doing cartwheels if we could add him.

Yes, lets miss hearing about picks so we can hear what song Marleau would sing karaoke to.

Jesse Nurmi — NHL Draft Projection​

There aren’t a ton of rankings for Nurmi, which I find a bit surprising, given his production in the Finnish U20 league. And for what’s available, he’s ranked as high as 23rd and as low as 94th. Perhaps there’ll be a bit more of a consensus as the draft approaches. But I would be surprised if he were still available past the third round. There’s a projectable player with two-way upside who has plenty of room to develop at 5-foot-11, 165 pounds.

Quotables​

“Nurmi is a versatile offensive forward who can beat opponents with his shot or pass the puck to his linemates for a tap-in goal. Playing against a considerably weaker Norwegian team, he showcased some of his offensive skills in this game. He looked like he was flying on the ice, and you could tell his confidence was high.” – Rasmus Tornqvist, FC Hockey.

Latest News & Highlights​



“[Nurmi’s] an outstanding passer, and sees the ice very well; he scans a lot which I particularly like. As well, he’s a pretty strong defensive player, especially for a winger; he positions himself well, drops down low to support his defencemen, and is quick on loose pucks; he reads play extremely well and uses his speed to rush in and block a pass before it happens. He’s a good option on the penalty kill with his strong defensive play and speed, allowing him to mount a counterattack should the opportunity arise…” – Gray Matter, Smaht Hockey.

“Currently the top scorer in Finland’s U20 league, I was very intrigued by Nurmi coming into the tournament. He had some especially noticeable moments, playing with good pace and showing some skill here and there, but I don’t think it was consistent enough. He’s not a big player and probably not quick enough to make as big an impact as he otherwise could. He’s been so good with his club this year, but getting a chance to compare and contrast him to top players on other teams, he didn’t necessarily stack up. That’s not to take away anything from what he’s done this season because you can see the skill and the way he thinks the game” – Chris Peters, FloHockey (Nov. 13, 2022).
