Korkataas nyt ketju meidän maalitykille, nimittäin Athleticin mukaan Tolvanen olisi kovaa vauhtia matkalla Nashvilleen jahka Jokerit saavat kautensa pakettiin:
“We’ll have a contract in place to be able to execute and have him come over here,” Predators assistant GM Paul Fenton told The Athletic on Wednesday. “That’s the plan. Funnier things have happened. I don’t want to say 100 percent. I never do that in our business. Yes, our plan is to have him.”
Kyseisessä artikkelissa on muutama muukin kiinnostava pätkä:
"When Fenton watches Tolvanen, he sees more than the gifted offensive ability that allowed him to put up nine points in five games, the most of any player under 19 years old in the Olympics not named Eric Lindros. He sees the kind of responsible game that often comes with an import from Finland.
“When you watch the young man play, his maturity is off the charts,” Fenton said. “That’s the thing that jumps out to me the most … you find that with the Finns. They know the details of the game. They pay attention to the details. They do their job. Coaches love that. It’s the smarts that give you that edge to win.”
What the Predators are finding is that those smarts seem to translate better as Tolvanen plays with better players. There’s no benefit to knowing exactly where to go on the ice if you don’t have a linemate who can get you the puck once you get there. And if you make a blind cross-ice pass to a kid who doesn’t expect it, you don’t get an assist."
Poikkeuksellinen kausi ollut Eelille ja jos tällä kaudella vielä NHL:ssä pelaa niin tuossa iässä ei kyllä montaa kaveria löydy jotka olisivat vastaavia näyttöjä pistäneet peliin.
Reinforcements expected for Predators’ stretch run, including Olympic standout Eeli Tolvanen – The Athletic
