Saw this on twitter:
"Jesse Ylönen currently has 22 (12-10) points in 44 Liiga games with the Pelicans, good for 0.5 points per game. In comparison, Kasperi Kapanen put up 0.51 points per game in his D+1 season with KalPa."
Scott Walford has a nice streak going. 12 points in last 8 games and a +9. He now has 9 goals and 38 points in 50 games.

I am really liking our 2017 draft. No promises at all but we look set to get a least a few quality NHLers with a few top end potential.
Primeau (NCAA) - after a slow start his numbers are back up .928 save %
Tyszka (WHL) - I believe he was injured the first half of the year but he was 25 points in 32 games (which leads Dmen on his team)
Fluery (AHL) - Doing well in the AHL from what I last heard.
Walford (WHL) - His team does not have any offense. He is second on the team in scoring (3 off the team lead) - not bad for a dman. 46 points in 58 games.
Ikonen (SM-liiga) - 10 points in his 13 games since coming back from knee surgery
Brook (WHL) - Just took off this year. Could be another Subban (or subban lite) gem in the second round. 65 points in 49 games. Have actually watched him twice this year in the WHL and he is pretty much in on everything the team does.
Poehling (NCAA) - 27 points in 28 games. Might even play on the habs at the end of the college season.
I think it would be possible for every single player to make the NHL.
Next year the farm team should see a huge boost from these guys.
Poehling and Brook have a good chance to be on the team this time next year. I wouldn't be surprised if Poehling started the year on the roster while Brook got called up around December/January.
Ikonen, Fleury, Tyszka, Primeau, all depends on how they develop in the AHL and how they're able to adapt to the pro game. Ikonen is more about how he'd adapt to the North American game.
Only player I don't really have much hope for is Walford. His play is good for Junior, but I don't think it does anything major in the pro level. Would love to be wrong, though.
Suzuki has like 20 points in his last 6 games. Nice bump for his year end totals. Certainly not a sustainable pace.
All while being moved back to C...
What's more, since the Suzuki-Ratcliffe-Schnarr line was formed, the Storm haven't lost a game.
Suzuki is also excelling in the faceoff dot, having won 423 draws for a 55% win rate.
