Mikko Kokkonen is a Finnish defenseman prospect out of the Finnish Liiga, where he played a full season for Jukurit in Finland’s highest league. Given his age as an 18-year old, just playing the season in Liiga would be impressive for Kokkonen, but he not only played, he was a significant contributor for Jukurit. Listed at 5’-11” and 198 points, Kokkonen is by no means slight, but he’s also not a big player. With a January 2001 birthday, the Mikkeli, Finland native slots somewhere in the middle of this draft class, age-wise. He isn’t regarded for any one standout skill in particular, but as a total package, he seems to be an effective defenseman.
