Anyone Know Anything About Kaskimaki?
I read in the paper this morning that Kaskimaki could fill in as a bottom-six winger this coming season. He was our third-round pick in 2022. I haven't heard anything about him.

Re: Anyone Know Anything About Kaskimaki?
He was surprisingly good in Springfield as a rookie last season. Good two-way winger with plus plus speed. Like Kyrou/Holloway speed. Has some skill (led the Finnish jr league in scoring his draft year) but projects more as a 3rd liner. He might see some time with the Blues this season but I see his real arrival more a year away as he could use another year in Springfield IMO. He drives the net hard. One of those players that is always sprinting straight to the net front whether he has the puck or not. Likely not a guy that will be a big difference maker but has the ability to be a solid support player and have a strong NHL career. Which quite honestly, would be a big win getting that out of the 3rd round.
