Soinin varauksesta juttua:
Regardless, in the later rounds teams will tend to take swings on guys with dynamic potential or ability who may not come over but if they do, they would dominate.
The Blainville-Boisbriand Armada took a swing on Finnish defender Sebastian Soini with their second pick. Soini, 18, is coming off of playing 38 games of pro hockey in Finland split between the top league, Liiga, and the second league, Mestis. Soini, who was taken by the Minnesota Wild in the 5th round this year, is contracted with Ilves in Liiga next year. So, it is very unlikely he will make the move to the QMJHL. However, the Wild have a tendency of wanting their prospects to come over to North America so if they feel like he could benefit from the move to the CHL, we may very well see him on the ice in Blainville.
