Anttoni Honka's Player Profile

Steve Kournianos - Sporting NewsJan. 31st: "A subpar WJC should not erase all the qualities he's displayed while consistently managing pressure against older competition. Honka is very smart, and his skating and vision make him ideal to quarterback a power play."

Will - Scouching.caJan. 7th: "Anttoni Honka might be the biggest boom or bust prospect on this list. An excellent skating defenseman who has had troubles in the Liiga this year. He needs to get much stronger, especially in his own end, and he is an undersized defender who looks undersized. He's a great puck mover though, and his skating is excellent."

Cam Robinson - Dobber Prospects - Dec. 20th: "Loves to jump up into the play and create offence. Owns exciting lateral movement and the creativity to thrive on a power play. Won’t ever be strong enough to out-muscle oncoming forwards so he’ll need to use his stick and his positioning at a higher level."

Sam Cosentino - SportsNet - Nov. 7th: "Is playing top-six minutes as an 18-year-old in the highest Finnish league. While his team has struggled, he’s still performing to expected levels."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Nov. 6th: "The size isn’t my main concern. He’s small for a high-end defenceman in today’s game but it does not hold players back as much as it once did. I’m more concerned with the fact that he’s on the older side of this draft class and he hasn’t taken the strides I expected him to take this season.
