Is Juuso Parssinen a Late Round Steal?

Parssinen is a Finnish prospect, who played almost all of last season on TPS U20, in the Jr. SM Liiga. There, he put up 13 goals and 9 assists for 22 points in 36 games. He also played on team Finland for the U18 World Junior Championships, but played a minor role, with just 1 goal and 1 assist in 5 games. He was ranked 156th by Future Considerations and 145th by McKeens Hockey, which places him anywhere from the late stages of round four to the early parts of round 5. But what makes him stand out?

After Watching Film

I watched the only 2 available games, thanks to Prospect Shifts (a subscription based site), on Parssinen, and what I found is a very underrated player.
