Juha Jatkola Facts

Drafted: 2023 round 4 #121 overall by Nashville Predators
Agency: Premium

Juha Jatkola likes to pick and choose the times when he is aggressive. He understands the importance of staying in the frame and reserves his bold movements for opportunities when he can force shooters into making mistakes. Those bold moves are on great display during rush chances, when he builds up a lot of backwards flow, and is able to cover a lot of space on the ice. Strong skating ability in regards to both his strength and edgework are also key components to Jatkola's game. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
