JANNE

KUOKKANEN

Janne Kuokkanen, our 192nd ranked center, is best suited to be a depth backup. We project he will end up with the Pittsburgh Penguins because they could use a player of this quality to play center. The Penguins currently have only 1 healthy centers, and 1 is rated better than Kuokkanen: (Emil Bemstrom).

The Penguins currently have no centers under contract beyond the 2027 season, so Kuokkanen could see a potential long term contract with the team.
