Ville Leino
Undrafted
Signed as UFA by the Detroit Red Wings
NHL Translation: Top-6 forward
NHL Comparible:
"We like Ville. In the 10-12 games he played with us, he played very, very well. He got in there a bit in the playoffs. He's got real good hockey sense, he hangs onto the puck in the offensive zone, has good instincts."
“He’s a heck of a competitor — he probably led the (Finnish SM-Liiga) in practice fights. He loves to come to the rink, he loves to practice, he loves to put his equipment on and compete. He’s strong on the puck down low, he’s a good cycle guy, and he draws a lot of penalties because of his puck control.”
"He's got a nose for the net, goes to the net, dominant on the cycle, makes great passes. He's a Red Wings-type player. Leino, I think he's going to be a scoring machine."
