AI Scouting Report

Free

Kostilainen 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

Free

Strengths

  • ✓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.

Concerns

  • ✗A meager 2 assists all season raises serious questions about his playmaking ability and hockey sense.
  • ✗His overall 10-point output is modest even by grinder standards, making his offensive ceiling difficult to project at the NHL level.
  • ✗Ranked #160 by NHL Central Scouting, he profiles as a late-round flier with a narrow path to meaningful NHL playing time.
