2022 NHL Draft prospect profile: Joakim Kemell’s shot will get him to the NHL

Joakim Kemell is a hard-working winger, one who puts in the effort in his own zone to win puck battles, using the 176 pounds attached to his 5’9” frame to land a few hits and disrupt the opposition’s movements. He’s a smart forechecker as well, picking his spots to go after a defenceman, trying to win possession for his team. Above-average skating gives him good transition ability, with decent passing skills to keep the puck moving up ice.

He also has one of the best shots in this year’s draft class.
