1) I don't think that faceoffs are boring. They are a big part of the game and can change the course of one game.
 
2) I am more confortable behind the net, my shot is not the best and i am better at passing the puck.
 
3) I would have a sniper on my side, someone that can put the puck in the net.
 
4) Not really, maybe Oslo because it's the closest to my home in Finland, but I will be happy if any team drafts me.
 
5) I don't really know. Some teams might need a d-man or a winger before a center. My guess would be 3rd round at best, 5th at worst.

1. Does taking faceoffs ever feel boring?
2. Are you more at home behind the net or in front of the net?
3. If you could pick, what kind of wingers would be playing next to you?
4. Any teams in VHLM that has caught your eye?
5. When you think and hope you will be picked?

Anyone who is set to be drafted in the VHLM draft tonight (if you just signed up, this is you): if you use discord, get into Draft Central and start building some hype! It probably won't pick up too much for a bit but I know the discord got a lot of attention last year and it helped some guys to get drafted earlier than they might otherwise have. If you don't use discord, that's fine, this is not at all mandatory, but something nice to have, get to know and chat with your fellow draftees a bit. Draft at 8 Eastern (so a little over 3 hours)!

1. What are you doing to become a better center?
 
2. What's your style of play and who should we compare you to?
 
3. What are your short term goals?
 
4. What do you think of the current S64 Draft Class?
 
5. What part of your game are you trying to improve?

Joel Ylonen is ready to answer your questions

1) I am training hard to become one of the best in the faceoff circle. I think that is one thing that I am lacking at the moment.
 
2) I am a playmaking center. I want to be a 200 foot player, but right now I lack a bit on the defensive side. I would compare myself to Nicklas Backstrom.
 
3) My goal right now is to be drafted. I want to be on a team that wants me and hopefully I play next season.
 
4) I think that it is a deep draft, some really good players are going to be picked. I hope I get in with those guys.
 
5) I am trying to improve my defensive play. I think that is my weakness right now. I hope i can improve that aspect of my game with the team that draft me.
