European prospects report: strong finish as Patrik Laine wins Jari Kurri Trophy

For the last time we take a look at the European league players who are or might be Leaf prospects.

There aren't any Leaf prospects left to write about with Andreas Johnson's win in the SHL, there's just hopes for the Leafs future in the two Finnish phenomenons. Hockey has a very Finnish flavour this spring.

Jesse Puljujärvi

Puljujärvi helped his team win gold at the IIHF U18 tournament, which gives him the gold in both the U18 and U20 levels in the same year.

In the gold medal stomping of their arch rival Sweden, Finland took the game 6-1, and outshot the Swedes so dramatically in the first period, you'd be forgiven for wondering if Sweden (featuring Alex Nylander) had actually taken the ice late.
