I guess I just wanted to say that it's typically not as simple as teams treating young players as commodities whose opinions on where they would like to play don't matter. But maybe that's beside the points others are making.

HPK by the way is kind of a family team for the Tuulolas. His father has the franchise records for most games played and most points and has recently been on their coaching staff as well. Also Eetu's brother played there. I don't think they would drag Eetu back to Finland against his wishes, if that's what people are saying, but that's purely my personal opinion.
