As the playoffs draw near, so does the plane carrying Eeli Tolvanen from Jokerit to Nashville. Drafted 30th by the Predators last year, Tolvanen signed with Jokerit in the KHL for this season instead of playing stateside. All he has done in the interim is set every part of the hockey world outside of North America on fire. He is the KHL’s all-time 18-year-old leading scorer, had 9 points in 6 games for the Finnish Olympic team, and had 6 goals in 5 games at the World Juniors tournament. He has also scored in two of Jokerit’s playoff games so far.
Where Would Eeli Tolvanen Fit Best in The Predators’ Lineup?
