If you recognize that name, its because you do. His dad is Devils legend Ilkka Pikkarainen
6’3 Power forward and only 17 years old. Definitely a name to keep an eye on.

Interesting they traded back twice before picking him.

It’ll probably be something like Ilkka Pikkarainen is coming back. – Tom Gulliti, 2013.

Throws his weight around
Devils should bring him over and play him in the CHL

Here’s what Elite Prospects said about him:
“Kasper Pikkarainen brings fire and brimstone whenever he steps on the ice. He never fails to capitalize on a good opportunity to make contact, even laying big open-ice hits from time to time. It’s not all about the physicality, though; Pikkarainen also brings plenty of craftiness as a passer, both in the offensive end and in transition”
Anyone that’s described as bringing “fire and brimstone” is practically made to play on the Devils 😂. Other than that, a big, physical 6’3 forward that’s capable of generating great passes seems he would be a perfect middle line winger if he pans out.

I remember when his dad was Lou’s “big” free agent signing of 2009.
