Emil Pieniniemi is a 6-foot-2 blueliner who can log big minutes and contributing on both special teams. He's a safeguard in the neutral zone, where he pinches aggressively and gaps up early, guiding opponents towards the boards before engaging physically. In the defensive end, he pins up opponents along the boards and has a solid box-out game. -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide
