He is a offensive winger and he is on a 4 game point streak thats gonna last to the end of the season. Veleno stats is more worrying but he is rookie so he got some rope. Yeah, I'm not going to put too much weight in the +/- of two of the younger players in the league. Veleno wouldn't even be eligible to play in the AHL if it weren't for the exceptional status. Of course it would be nice for both of them to get those numbers up, but I'm looking at overall production and even more than that, how they look on the ice. The way Veleno has been playing the past few games reminds me a lot of the way Athanasiou has been playing early on this season. He's been making things happen offensively, he and his linemates just haven't been capitalizing on their opportunities. Athanasiou has also fallen victim of the atrocious +/- stat (-18 through 13 games... woof...). I don't think Athanasiou has been bad, he's just been snake bitten. Like Veleno, he's been creating opportunities for himself and his linemates, but nothing seems to be going in. Zadina is starting to heat up, and I'm sure Veleno isn't far behind. 2 Akakabuto and Dabura reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elmer Soderblom and Antti Tuomisto are tops of their respective leagues. Soderblom currently has 26 points (12 goals, 14 assists) in 18 games for Frölunda, 2nd in points, behind Nils Aman (who is a year and a half older). Tuomisto has 22 points (8 goals, 14 assists) in 21 games for Assat, 14th in overall scoring and leading all defensemen. I'm thinking (hoping) Soderblom could be a steal in last year's draft... SHL and Liiga are both much better than the CHL in terms of quality of competition and line-mates. This is a very good sign for Soderblom and Toumisto I would think.

They're both playing U20, which is a tier below the men's leagues over there. I'm thinking the SuperElit and Jr A SM-Liiga may be a step below the CHL, but I'm not sure...
