Joonas Paqvalin Facts
Player Type
Net-Front PresenceOffensive Forward
Agency
Premium
Paqvalin is an opportunistic scorer and a capable finisher from the net-front. He’s at his best as an off-puck scorer who hunts for empty pockets of space while still doing his share in transition through connecting plays from the boards to the inside. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
