I hope some of Panarin’s swagger starts to run off on Kakko as he gets a little older and more comfortable. I love Panarin’s exuberance and emotion after scoring. It would be cool to see some of that from Kakko down the road.

From what I've experienced talking to him, he's more the Buchnevich type in terms of personality. He's not very outspoken.

Ive gotten the exact same impression. I’m not expecting him to bark orders like Messier, but he’s still a kid. Hopefully a couple years playing with some confident and interesting personalities will loosen him up and get him out of his shell a bit. I can’t imagine the changes he’s gone through the last couple years regarding new leagues, draft process, media hype, new country, new language etc...

Not super interesting for the casual fan as he is a long-shot prospect at best, but I spoke to Calle Själin this weekend. Asked if I could interview him and he said yes. Will be writing about it today and probably release tomorrow. I will link it here

I'm not a casual fan but don't really know why anyone cares about guys they'll likely never see in a Rangers sweater.

I know he has had injury problems but I have been super disappointed with Sjalin. I thought he was really good last year. This was going to be the season where he really put himself on the map, and obviously it didn't happen.

Agreed. He should have taken that next step up. From Ettan to HA to SHL. It was a solid development curve

I try to follow them all, up until the point where they're basically dead and buried. Like Reunanen, most had given up on him completely. Then he starts out last year not being able to find a spot on TPS, bouncing around. And suddenly now he's a top player in Liiga and a guy who looks like he has a legitimate NHL future. So, you never know.

Great point. And this is why guys like @Amazing Kreiderman and you and @Joey Bones and many others deserves so much kudos for keeping track of all of these guys. Only following his progress from afar, I for sure thought that Reunanen was another one of those prospects that quickly would fall off the map and accomplish nothing.

Good article. You misspelled Lidström (Nicklas Lindström) in one spot, and didn't include Reunanen in our list of LD.

All-World defender Kodie Curran, barely an AHL player for us, is now 6-17-23 in 21 games for Rogle, Edstrom's team. :laugh: He had 37 in 49 last year. He's the only D ahead of Lundkvist in scoring other than...some dude who is 26 named Jonathan Pudas.

Yeah, stats from Ds must always be taken with a big grain of salt unfortunately. Curran got 17 PP points in 21 games. If he had a better PPQB in front of him he would in other words be like top 50 among Ds in scoring in the SHL.

With more and more teams playing with one point D on an umbrella set-up, that PPQB will get so many pts from just putting his skates on the ice if the PP is good. Especially if the team also has one goto PP unit that get most of the PP time.
