Yeah. This is good news. Hope he has a great season and builds on what he showed this summer.
Is Raty likely to make Finland WJC team? I hope so.
Told u. This is a loan for 2021. Best for all decision.
Not sure how large that league's playoff format is but we may get Raty over a couple weeks sooner no?
Great news. Now this makes sense. Prospects as talented as Raty don't ever get healthy scratched for long without a good reasom.
Possibility the club was committed to it's top centers and know Raty was headed to North America after this year. New club is looking for immediate help and Oli Jokinen will give him the ice time.
There’s something strange in this case, that kind of talented player and hasn’t got ice time. Usually Kärpät gives lots of time and chances to their juniors to get them on to the next level but not in this case.
Off-topic from Raty, but what are your thoughts on Durandeau? He put up good numbers in the Q, and a playoff performer too. Could he be a late bloomer or do you see him as AHL (13th/14th fwd in NHL) at best?
1+2 in his debut
