Eeli Tolvanen

It's been clear that Tolvanen isn't one of Head Coach John Hynes's favorite players, and it's possible that he will never develop into the kind of NHL player ...

He tips play in his team’s favor, and he has scoring talent that could blossom in different circumstances. And, in spite of his offensive struggles and occasional poorly-timed penalty, he’s been an asset to the team: He’s also been playing fourth-line minutes with fourth-line linemates: not the kind of situation that would let any player shine.

The 30th overall selection in 2017 by Nashville, Tolvanen quickly became one of the game's more exciting prospects in short order. Considered a pure sniper, the ...

The 23-year-old was selected by the Predators with the 30th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Draft. The Finnish forward has scored 25 goals in 135 career NHL games and also has a goal in seven career playoff games.

Nashville loses a Finnish winger to the waiver wire for nothing.

He’ll never remember me interviewing him in the locker room, but I’d like to thank him for always having insightful answers. In the meantime, I’d like to thank Eeli Tolvanen in an article he’ll never read. Tolvanen seems like the kind of player that’s too good to give away, but that’s basically what happened on Sunday afternoon. Everything he’s been asked to do as a player, he’s done it.” Sometimes viewed as offense-only, Tolvanen certainly put in the work.

He fell quite a bit in the draft, so others were a little skeptical.

The Nashville Predators forward was claimed off waivers by the Kraken.

He has been a healthy scratch for 12 games this season as it seemed there was a disconnect between the forward and expectations. Losing Tolvanen on waivers comes as another forward who has cycled in and out of the lineup this season is stepping away from the ice.

The 23-year-old native of Finland has scored two goals and two assists over 13 games with the Predators this season, his fifth in Nashville.

Still, it is somewhat surprising that he reached the Kraken, who were 23rd in line. [Sean Shapiro of EP Rinkside tweets](https://twitter.com/seanshapiro/status/1602378586866028545) that the Predators’ front office was “pretty confident” that Tolvanen would clear, likely because of the $1.45MM cap hit that Seattle will be taking on in full.
