Sopanen is a tall right winger with great offensive qualities. Good hands and good puck control. Not to physical despite his size. Needs to improve the defensive side of his game and his ability to drive towards the net. Above average skating that could be further improved upon.

Brothers: Iiro Sopanen & Eetu Sopanen
