Well, he wasnt anything special in SM-liiga, 5th or 6th dman in Lukko. He has been injured a lot. Hard to believe he would crack Devils roster anytime soon. Maybe Lukko-fans (is there any?) in this board could tell more about him.

He is just here for depth in Albany. Maybe the organization knows something we don't. I followed his stats for a bit. I guess he could be a 3rd line dmen in Albany.

Maybe the organization knows something we don't.Not a chance. We are the biggest Devils' hockey geniuses money can't buy. Would that be genui? Well, we still know our hockey!

We drafted he awhile ago, I believe in 1999. I pretty much gave hope of him ever coming over, this is somewhat a surprise.

He will be in the AHL playing in Albany for a couple of years and maybe he will make the devils in a couple of years... We shall see...

As I said in my draft review article, I am not very familiar with him. I didn't really think he would be coming to North America anytime soon, but hey, Albany could always use the help.

Finland's other mystery man behind T.Laine. I saw his picture and a brief writeup a few seasons ago, on this board. He'd better be highly skilled as he really didn't have the kind of size you would want at NHL level.

The guy is solid as a rock for his age.....he was 6 feet 205 his draft year I think.
