Kasper Puutio Facts

Drafted: 2020 round 5 #153 overall by Florida Panthers
Agency: Premium

Puutio locked down virtually every attack in the neutral zone that came his way. He's not overly fast, but closes space on attackers quickly (sometimes, establishing his gap in the OZ on the backpedal). Puutio maintained non-committing footwork and consistent inside-to-out backpedal habits. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
