The more I look in on Helenius the more I think he's a dream pick for Conroy.

Here's why:
Slick playmaking center.
Top of the draft in terms of hockey IQ
Strong work ethic
One of the youngest in the draft (plenty of room to grow)
Deceptive shot that hits the mark more often than not.


Skating needs improvement (my argument there is look at what Danielle Fujita did for Zary and others) and that's literally his biggest flaw. And it's a pretty minor flaw all things considered.

Honestly, A skilled RHS center with the brains to use the tools he has to produce in a men's league at his age is a massive selling point.

I know some folk don't think highly of this player but I dont agree with them. If your floor is a 3rd line C at the age of 17 in your draft year, that's a good thing.
