Owning a loaded farm system like the one the Rangers currently possess leaves plenty of room for the development of less-than-notable names to go somewhat unnoticed. But for TPS Turku winger Lauri Pajuniemi, being noticeable on the ice is something he accomplishes rather easily.
Not only is the 2018 fifth-round pick second in the elite Finnish SM-Liiga in goal scoring with 26, but his 252 shots lead all players who average 16 minutes a game or less. Not bad for a 20-year-old winger who was previously passed over in the 2017 NHL draft.
As far as his current team, TPS Turku is one of the more storied franchises in SM-Liiga history.
