Ottawa Senators Top 25 Under 25, #18: Roby Järventie

Tim Stützle and Jake Sanderson figure to play a prominent role for years to come, and Ridley Greig is coming off a very strong season in which he did not look out of place with the AHL’s Belleville Senators despite being just 18 years old. It might be easy, then, to forget about Roby Järventie. But if the Sens want to eventually make themselves into perennial contenders, they desperately need someone who can put the puck in the net in the way that Järventie does. There’s no rarer skill in hockey than the ability to consistently score goals at the NHL-level, and there’s some reason to believe the young Finn will be able to do just that.
