Eetu Orpana Facts

Agency: Premium

Orpana profiles as a two-way contributor down the middle. He plays the centre position in a traditional way, offering support to both his defencemen and his wingers down the ice. In the offensive zone, the majority of his value comes through his net front play. He's good at finding deflections and positioning himself for rebounds and tap-ins. Occasionally, he’s been able to make a crafty pass from below the goal line, too. -EliteProspects 2025 NHL Draft Guide
