There is not a more skilled prospect at the World Junior Hockey Championship for the Montreal Canadiens than Jesse Ylönen. He doesn’t have the shooting ability of Nick Suzuki, but Ylönen has a good shot of his own, and combines incredible skating ability — unmatched by any other Habs prospect — with shifty hands that enable him to thread through traffic and find his teammates with great passes.
Ylönen has so far not really made an impact with his production in professional leagues. He was drafted for those impressive tools of his first and foremost, as the Habs banked on him putting those together to evolve into a top-six player for them.
