2022 Draft Preview: Joakim Kemell

Joakim Kemell (unofficial pronunciation: yo-kim kem-ell) may be the best pure goal scorer and shooter in this draft. His ability to fire the puck makes him particular interesting because the Flyers simply don’t have a pure goal scorer, which is part of why NHL.com’s Adam Kimelman mock drafted Kemell as the Flyers’ selection at 5th overall.

Kemell undeniably has the mid-to-long-range shooting ability that not many possess, even at the higher levels. As you’ll see here, Kemell is a fantastic shooter from the left faceoff circle just like we’ve Brett Hull, Steven Stamkos, and Alexander Ovechkin shoot pucks from.
