After Auston Matthews at the top of the draft, most scouts have two wingers from Finland. Patrik Laine has started to cement himself as the best Fin in the draft and the #2 overall prospect for the upcoming NHL Draft (depending on who you trust). He possesses an elite-level shot and a large frame, both of which will suit him well as an NHL winger.
