European Prospect Report: Jesse Ylönen leaves Finland for Laval

The expected news of Jesse Ylönen’s travels came this week, as the team he has been on loan to, the Lahti Pelicans, tweeted out that he was North America bound.

Laaksonen ja Ylönen kutsuttiin Pohjois-Amerikkaan.

Kiitos ja tsemppiä herrat rapakon taakse.

Toivottavasti näemme teidät vielä joskus turkoosissa peliasussa. #Pelicansfi #Liiga pic.twitter.com/zsZT2VtV4F— Lahden Pelicans (@PelicansFi) January 7, 2021

While Ylönen’s time in Liiga hasn’t been that productive, ha has been secure defensively. He still finished his stint with the team ranking 10th in scoring as the Pelicans had relied upon Ryan Lasch as a scoring winger on the line above Ylönen’s.
