report from EP draft guide

Sato is in his first season in North America after some time in Finland Junior-B leagues. The skill is there. Sato seems faster than most at his current level (at least at the start of his shifts) and his hands are agile. He is an interesting player to follow due to his origins. -EliteProspects 2020 NHL Draft Guide
