Armia, Joel (can go in between 6-13) Porin Assat RW

Nicknamed the Finnish Ace, Joel is a terrific forward. He is the complete package, he is a great skater, amazing passer and he has a very good shot. It is very impressive to see a guy of his size, 6 foot 3, skate as fast as he does. His speed and size are a reason why he has spent this pass season in the top Finnish mens league, SM-Liiga.  In 41 games so far, against men not other 16 to 20 year olds, he has 17 goals. He still has to fill out his frame, but the odds are he will be the second straight Fin to be selected in the top ten of the NHL Entry Draft.
