I like the look of Kahkonen a LOT, but how about Ville Husso? Posted 1.99 GAA and .923 SP in 41 games in the Finnish men's league as a 17-year-old... How is this guy not a 2nd round pick at least??!
I would use #34 on one of the potential top 4 defencemen who are available (or someone like Bleackey, Cornel or Scherbak if they dropped out of the 1st round) and I would use one of the 3rd rounders on one of these Finnish goalies.
These would be my preferences, assuming Ekblad doesn't drop to #4:
#4: Sam Reinhart/Sam Bennett/Leon Draisaitl
#34: Jack Glover/Travis Sanheim/Josh Jacobs
#54: Alexis Vanier/Ryan Collins/Hunter Smith
#64: Ben Thomas/Nick Magyar/Kaapo Kahkonen
#83: Ville Husso/Ondrej Kase/Aaron Irving

As a 19 year old... Husso is a draft overager.
