5. What part of your game are you trying to improve?

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.

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?

5. When you think and hope you will be picked?

 

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.

2. Have you done better than you expected or is this underwhelming for you? I would never have thought i would be doing this great, it's all because of the organization and my teammates that i'm doing this great.

 

3. The draft rankings are putting you quite high up, where do you expect yourself to go? I don't really think about that. I just want to be in a team that wants me.

 

4. How quickly do you think you can make an impact in the VHL when you get that opportunity? Depends on the team that drafts me, i hope can make an impact as soon as possible

 

5. What do you think of the WJC and how important they are for young players? Its a great thing, helps them boost their confidence

 

6. Looks like the aces are heading to the playoffs! How do you thing you will preform as an individual and as a group during the playoffs? I hope i do good in the playoff but the team comes first.
