Drafted 83rd overall in the 2019 NHL Draft by the Carolina Hurricanes, Anttoni Honka was coming off a decent year. He had shown that he was too good for the U-20 league by putting up 9 points in 6 games, including 2 goals. But hadn’t found his footing in the Liiga quite yet, only having 4 points in 16 games with a staggering -7. He then found himself heading to KeuPa HT, a team in the Mestis league, adding 7 points in 11 games in the regular season. Honka played in the playoffs for KeuPa, putting up 11 points in 17 games.
