RW Emil Hemming - TPS Turku, U20 SM Sarja (2024, 29th, DAL)

[MMC]

Welcome to Dallas

 

[OgeeOgelthorpe]

He seems like a very Dallas Stars pick. I liked everything I saw of him and everything I read about him. Hemming will be a good one for you guys.

 

[Magic Mittens]

Wrong thread lol

Anyways, seems like a great pick for Dallas. They need a lethal shooter on the PP

 

[piqued]

Mmm Hintz passing cross-ice to Hemming on the PP?

Been too long since the Stars went to the Finland well, back to our roots

 

[karhukissa]

Another Finn to Dallas, couldn't be happier.

Inconsistent player. Sometimes looks great, sometimes disappears completely.

Inconsistent player. Sometimes looks great, sometimes disappears completely.

I remember a lot of people claiming the same about Hintz back in the day. Either way, I think Dallas is a team that could develop Hemming decently.

 

[TheNumber4]

Good, not great shot. Good, not great Skating. Iffy balance. Hands a bit clumsy. Slow/Bad Reads. Mediocre Playmaking. Don't see much IQ here. I'm a Meh.

Why would Barrie waste a pick on him if they knew he was likely staying in Finland anyway?

Why would Barrie waste a pick on him if they knew he was likely staying in Finland anyway?

They probably couldn't get any players they liked to commit. Istead of drafting a player you're not sure if he's good enough you may as well take a swing at a big fish.
Those kind of gambles can work out as well and situations can change anytime. We saw that last season with Sudbury and Dvorsky.

Barrie had two open import slots and finding both suitable and motivated kids who can help you isn't always easy. Those picks do cost some money and Europeans are mostly under some kind of a contract. Depending on your reputation and standing it can also be quite a bit of work to convince kids to come over and play for you.
