AI Scouting Report
FreeKostilainen carved out 10 points in 32 Liiga games as a teenager — a league where most draft-eligible forwards are invisible against men — showing a nose for the net and the physical maturity to actually get there. His ability to generate offense in one of the world's toughest developmental leagues projects him as a grinding, net-front winger who can carve out an NHL role through positioning and hockey sense rather than raw flash.
Scouting Breakdown
FreeStrengths
- ✓His 12 PIM in 32 games signals a physical, combative presence that teams value in a bottom-six role.
- ✓Eight goals in 32 Liiga games is a respectable scoring rate for a grinder-type winger competing in a top European league.
