Eemil Viro's Player Profile

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - Sept. 21st: "I remain a little lower on him than most though. That’s because Viro also lacks strength on the puck and in man-on-man battles, he’s not a particularly talented player offensively (though he will join the rush) and his head just isn’t always in it without the puck."

Chris Peters - ESPN - June 30th: "There wasn't much of an opportunity for him to create offensively, and he got overwhelmed at times by older players. However, there's a base of skills that is awfully intriguing, including his strong skating ability."

Steve Koumianos - The Draft Analyst - Feb. 8th: "Viro’s one-on-one defense can look technically advanced most of the time, as he keeps his feet moving with proper stick-on-puck technique and body positioning without presenting the opponent with a window to take him inside or out. His hands are incredibly soft, and having proper stick positioning in conjunction with those mitts and sharp instincts allows him to pick off seam passes and dart up ice all in one motion."Jokke Nevalainen -Dobber Prospects - Nov. 4th: "He’s a very good skater who can make an impact at both ends of the ice but lacks true standout qualities. Viro did get to make his Liiga debut lately, so the organization has him above Knazko right now but that says nothing about their long-term NHL potential."
