After watching video he seems more like Sebastian Aho. Tenacious forechecking combined with excellent skating and IQ. It's true that he is a playmaker first and foremost but his shot isn't bad. Barkov is a lot bigger but also was a really poor skater when he entered the league. Also he initially refused to shoot the puck which doesn't seem to be the case with Helenius.
If this guy goes around 10th OA I have a feeling he could be one of the steals of the draft, similarly to Rantanen when he was picked 10th OA. Seems like a high ceiling type of player.
