Is Oliver Suvanto PERFECT FIT For Flyers At No. 21 In NHL Draft? Finnish Center | Prospect Profile

In this prospect profile, Charlie O'Connor of the PHLY Flyers Podcast breaks down everything Flyers fans need to know about Finnish center Oliver Suvanto, one of the most intriguing two-way forwards in this year's draft class. 

Standing 6'3" and already playing against professionals in Finland's Liiga, Suvanto has earned praise from scouts for his maturity, defensive awareness, skating ability, and pro-ready game. Some evaluators have even compared his complete 200-foot style to Aleksander Barkov and Anton Lundell. While questions remain about his offensive ceiling, Suvanto's size, hockey IQ, defensive reliability, and experience in Finland's top professional league make him one of the safest center prospects available in the first round.
