Joakim Kemell Facts

Cap Hit: $886,666Powered by
NHL Rights: Nashville Predators / Signed
Drafted: 2022 round 1 #17 overall by Nashville Predators
Agency: Premium

He anticipates pockets of space well, arrives as the puck does for shooting opportunities, positions his body in the best way to catch and release each pass, and generally seems well-connected to his teammates during sustained offensive zone possessions. He's always involved in the play. You'll never mistake Kemell for a retrieval artist either, but he's shown some forechecking skill and physicality across many of our viewings, too. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide

A skilled winger with very good shooting skills
