Aatos Koivu, the son of former NHLer Saku Koivu, saw his stock rise all season as did his responsibility with Finland's U18 team. He was cut from the Hlinka Gretzky team in the summer and by the spring he was one of their most important forwards. Koivu is a strong skater with a stride that will be able to move at an NHL pace. He has good hands, and uses his skill to attack at the net. He's not overly physical, but like his father, he's a strong competitor who plays in traffic. Koivu has an excellent shot. When he winds up his one-timer he can beat goalies from distance. His playmaking is fine, he can make the odd seam pass but I don't see a ton of natural instincts with the puck
