59: Topi Ronni, C, TAPPARA JR. (FINLAND-JR.)
May 5, 2004 | 6′ 2″ | 181 pounds
Ronni has been a good junior player the last few years in Finland and was quite productive versus men when he got called up this season. He was also a top player for Finland’s U18 team. Button sees Ronni as a middle-six centre.
“He’s really responsible positionally and we’re hoping he gains a little more confidence in making plays offensively to add that to his toolkit,” he said. “Our (Finnish scout) lives in the same city as he plays in so we feel we knew him really well.
“He played a lot with the men’s league and we saw him mostly with his national team. We like him. He has the potential to be a middle-six, 200-foot centre.”
