We’re finally talking about a different position besides a center! I feel like the last four prospects have been centers. Let’s look at Calgary Flames prospect RW Eetu Tuulola.
Tuulola wasn’t drafted until the sixth round at the 2016 NHL Draft. Just like fellow prospect Matthew Phillips! Tuulola was taken ten picks higher. It was understandable that Tuulola wasn’t taken until the sixth round. He didn’t have overly impressive junior-level numbers and he wasn’t really a highly touted prospect. But that’s in the past! Let’s look at him this past year.
He participated at the World Junior Summer Showcase this past summer for Team Finland, along with five other Flames prospects.
