Here we go! The final player profile of the 21 Days series is none other than the current projected favorite for the first overall pick in 2021. Aatu Raty could be the first-ever Finn to be drafted first overall in the NHL, and he’s built an incredibly strong case for himself over the years.
Raty is a late-2002 birthday, which means he is one of the older players in this draft class (though not even the oldest in this series). A strong and well-rounded player, Raty has always played above his age group and excelled.
Raty played for Karpat’s U-16 team as a 14-year old, putting up a remarkable 57 points in 40 games in both leagues he played in that season.
