So this really interesting article came out from Edmonton about scouting the World Juniors with lots of tidbits from Thomas Gradin.

http://blogs.edmontonjournal.com/201...-of-the-trade/

In the article, it actually mentions that Gradin's looking at Konsta Makinen from Finland:

Quote:
While scouts often attend games to watch specific players, it’s also important for them to keep their eyes wide open for other positive performances. Take Wednesday’s Finland vs. USA game, for example, when Finnish defender Konsta Makinen caught Gradin’s eye with a couple slick offensive moves.
Does anybody know about this kid? Seen him play? I checked the Finland WJ topic on the main boards and most people agreed that he was one of the top 3 on their team. I checked a mock draft as recent as a few days ago and no one's really talking about him. Does anyone know what round this guy would project to go at?
