Hi Lenni, welcome
Terrific pick
> Ken Danyeko brain aneurysm trying to pronounce this
Fun name! Just about all I can ask for. 🙂
Corey Pronman had him ranked 55th and we took him 58th.
[Here’s his CapFriendly page](https://www.capfriendly.com/players/lenni-hameenaho)
From [@TopDownHockey](https://twitter.com/TopDownHockey/status/1674443098989166593):
“#NJDevils select Lenni Hameenaho 58th. I ranked him 43rd.”
Projected chance of being a star: 4%
Projected chance of becoming a NHLer: 21%
My favorite Finnish name on the Devils since Hannu Kamppuri.
Seems like a solid pick. Very versatile, jack-of-all-trades type forward.

21 P in 51 GP this year in Liiga
Hmmm… Future Erik Haula type guy to replace current Erik Haula guy?
Lenni “Talyor” HAMeenoaho
Based on my calculations, he has a 21% chance at being a star and a 62% chance at being a full time NHLer
Disclaimer: prospect calculations are based off how cool their name is
Guy has really solid English for not having lived here
Hamee Hamee AHO
Eh. I tried
> There’s no doubt about Hämeenaho’s best quality being his intelligence. He’s an extremely smart off-puck player at both ends of the rink. He finds quiet ice and pockets of space in the offensive zone, popping in and out of the slot, anticipating possible passing lanes and rebound opportunities.
Sounds like a player who will mold well to the teams needs and a bonus right handed forward
Ya know… [his numbers](https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=251537) kinda resemble [this guy’s](https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=174983) except he’s not a C. … not to overhype him or anything…
