MIIKKA SALOMAKI - Right Winger - 26 - $.750MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2020-2021
LAST UPDATED 8/20/19
While he hasn't quite been able to cement himself as an every night NHL player, Miikka Salomaki has been able to establish himself as Nashville's go-to injury replacement/13F. He's not exceptionally skilled, so while he has shown the ability to score reasonably well at lower levels he won't produce anything more than mid-teens points at best. Salomaki seems to understand that he lacks high-end offensive tools, as he doesn't rely on scoring to provide value to an NHL organization. He's a strong two-way winger with above-average defensive instincts and a strong work ethic. He shows effort in every shift he takes and can be trusted as a winger on a legitimate shutdown line. He won't anchor a PK as a winger but he will help defend his net against high-danger scoring chances and will bring positive value to his team through his defense. So while Salomaki may not be the most impressive player he brings legitimate value as a trustworthy defensive winger who can fill in for injured players and manage to not hurt the team, even if he isn't scoring.
