Tolvanen was considered by many as one of the best pure snipers in the entire draft, and was widely thought of as a surefire top-15 pick. The Predators benefitted from his surprising fall down the first round, and found themselves a gold-mine win at pick #30. Tolvanen is an elite sniper, who generates a ridiculous amount of shots and uses his incredible release to blow pucks past opposing goalies. He’s a quick player, who uses his speed to create offense off the rush.
