With two picks in Round Five, the Canucks have rolled the dice on a big Finnish kid who seems to be exactly the type of goaltender that Canucks goalie guru Ian Clark can mold into a quality puck stopper.

Koskenvuo is heading to Harvard in 2022, so it’ll be a while before we can get a good idea of what they have in him. He was the 4th ranked European goaltender by NHL Central Scouting.
