BSH 2022 Community Draft Board, No 7: Joakim Kemell

One of the players who has made the biggest jump in this draft class is Finnish winger Joakim Kemell. It was the U18 World Championship when he really made an impression on hockey fans, recording six goals and two assists in five games to help Finland win a bronze medal.

He is one of the more fascinating players in the draft, as he is a high risk/reward player. He has a tremendous shot that seems to translate to every level of completion he plays. However, there are also areas in his game that need some fine tuning before he becomes a reliable NHL player.
