  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Looks like a player with an NHL future to me. Big kid with a shot and seems to hold his own in the cycle.

I'm so out of touch with the Finnish league and prospects these days, had no idea this guy even existed. Seems to score goals where ever he goes.

You are not alone!
But as he scored 26 goals as a 19 year old in Liiga last season - the most by any U20 player in like 40 years - he for sure should have come with a lot of hype!

He is leading the AHL in scoring for rookies as well. I think the Kraken fanbase being small is probably why not more of us talk about him. One of the questions around him was speed but I think he has average skating.
 
What do we see his potential being? Good middle 6 winger that is also a regular on the PP1? I think the main thing holding him back is his skating but he seems to have improved upon it since his draft year.

I would say his shooting package is definitely very high-end. One timers are hard and accurate. Wrist shot is quick, heavy, and accurate too. In Coachella he was money in the slot and I saw himself find good routes today too so looking forward to seeing how he does in the next few games.
 
Was shocked he went as low as he did in the draft, even in 22-23 season he looked like a future NHL-er, just how good he was gonna be was the question.
 
From what I've seen, he can play in the NHL and might likely have a long career if he stays healthy. But I think they should put him on a line with Shane Wright.

How you would compare Jani Nyman to other Finnish players in NHL?
Is Jani Nyman more Patrik Laine type player or Mikko Rantanen type player?

Closer to Laine. Sniper with average skating. Laines skating has improved but it’s certainly not a strength. Same with Nyman.
