4. Miikka Salomaki – 27 years old – LW/RW

At my number four spot I have the forward that Kyle Dubas acquired back in February in exchange for Ben Harpur, Miikka Salomaki.

Miikka who is 27 years old is a small speedy winger who can play on either side.

He hasn’t seen much success in the NHL with the Nashville Predators but he can defiantly be on a fourth line and generate some type of offence with his speed.

Just like Kossila I don’t see Salomaki cracking the lineup right out of training camp but you never know what could happen.

If anything, I could see him come up during the season if someone is injured or if they don’t re-sign some of their depth players.

NHL stats – 167 GP – 12 G – 15 A – 27 PTS (NSH)

AHL stats – 173 GP – 37 G – 55 A – 92 PTS (MIL/TOR)

2019-20 stats with the Milwaukee Admirals and the Toronto Marlies – 49 GP – 7 G – 12 A – 19 PTS .
