Juolevi, 5th OA, 0 points
Kotkaniemi, 3rd OA, has 24 points
Kaapo Kakko, 2nd OA, has 14 points

But then some are great
Rantanen, 10th OA, has 93 points
Heiskanen, 3rd, OA, has 45 points
Barkov, 2nd OA, has 66 points (but is he ethnically Russian?)

Maybe something about the Liiga makes it difficult to transfer over to North America.
But I have definitely noticed that Liiga and the QMJHL tend to have a lot of busts.

Let's not exaggerate.


Puljujarvi has 1 point.
