   “#NJDevils select Lenni Hameenaho 58th. I ranked him 43rd.”

   Projected chance of being a star: 4%

   Projected chance of becoming a NHLer: 21%

8. My favorite Finnish name on the Devils since Hannu Kamppuri.

9. Seems like a solid pick. Very versatile, jack-of-all-trades type forward.

11. 21 P in 51 GP this year in Liiga

12. Hmmm… Future Erik Haula type guy to replace current Erik Haula guy?

13. Lenni “Talyor” HAMeenoaho

14. Based on my calculations, he has a 21% chance at being a star and a 62% chance at being a full time NHLer

    Disclaimer: prospect calculations are based off how cool their name is

15. Guy has really solid English for not having lived here

16. Hamee Hamee AHO

    Eh. I tried

17. > There’s no doubt about Hämeenaho’s best quality being his intelligence. He’s an extremely smart off-puck player at both ends of the rink. He finds quiet ice and pockets of space in the offensive zone, popping in and out of the slot, anticipating possible passing lanes and rebound opportunities.

    Sounds like a player who will mold well to the teams needs and a bonus right handed forward
