So far players like Aleksi Heponiemi and Kaapo Kakko have been wearing it. But, they are still eligible to wear the golden helmet, which is customarily given to the player with the most points per team.
In this post, I’ll look at the top 5 U20 point producers in the Liiga and I’ll be grading their potential of becoming a NHL player.
1. Aleksi Heponiemi, Kärpät, Center, Finland
Potential: 4 out of 5 (2nd line center on a good team, 1st on a weak center depth team)
Heponiemi is looking to be a steal for the Florida Panthers.
