Ruotsalainen, 21, joins the Sabres organization after spending the last two seasons with Ilves of Liiga.
In 204 career Liiga games, Ruotsalainen scored 73 points (36 goals, 37 assists).
As previously reported, our own Chad DeDominicis reached out to Jokke Nevalainen of Dobber Prospects to get an idea of what one can expect from Ruotsalainen:
“Ilves didn’t have a very good team this but Ruotsalainen was their player both during the regular season and in the playoffs as well.
