Finnish Junior Hockey.com comment.
Kukkonen registered eight points in 24 games playing for Ilves U20.
He has good vision and moves the puck with heady passes.

When defending he keeps his stick out and has solid gap control.
Kukkonen possesses good lateral movement and quickness for a 6’0 blueliner.
Could make a strong case for a pretty early pick.

Few videos.

4 points in 12 games in the Jr A. Good two way defenseman, should go around the 5th or 6th round.

I like his potential but his injury history is a big red flag. Only 36 games played for his club team in the past two seasons.
