2022 Flames Second Round Targets: Aleksanteri Kaskimaki

Over the last couple of decades, if not longer, Finland has been pumping out top-tier NHL talent. This draft will feature elite talents like Joakim Kemell and Brad Lambert headlining the Finnish prospects available. The last time the Flames targeted a Finnish prospect was when they drafted Jusso Valimaki in round one of the 2017 NHL Draft. The last time they took a player directly from Finland was Eetu Tuulola.

Up next is a player who took the Finnish junior league SM-sarja by storm: Aleksanteri Kaskimaki

Scouting report

While he possesses one of the most unique names in the draft, Kaskimaki also has a lot of skill.
