Arttu Välilä Facts

Agency: Premium

While many defencemen like to activate into the play, very few pick their spots and recognize potential opportunities as well as Välilä, particularly when it comes to jumping from the point down the weak side. He’s also got an eye for playmaking, whether he’s launching shot passes from the point or moving downhill along the wall before slipping the puck to the inside. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
