Kasper Halttunen Scouting Reports

Reports: 3
Powered By
The Pro Hockey Group
Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.

For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Projection: Second Line
Trending: Prospect
Ended the season on a high note at the U18 Worlds in 22/23
Played to his identity offensively and pushed the pace more consistently.
Shoot first mentality Rips pucks from the perimeter on the power-play. Dangerous between the dots. Quick/heavy/accurate release.
Top 6 NHL forward on projection. When fully engaged / engine running at full throttle / his offensive element is attractive.

M6
Projection: Middle Six
Trending: Flat
Good size winger
Outstanding release
One times pucks from his weak side flank on the PP
Fantastic puck touch around the crease
Some bump to his game - but not over powering physically for his stature - A good skater who could push the play more aggressively / compete harder to be a difference maker
