Konsta Helenius is a well-rounded, detailed play-driver who is always a step ahead of the opposition. He stays with his check, takes away passing and shooting options with a strong defensive stick and refuses to get outworked in puck battles and on retrievals. He regularly wins body positioning from a disadvantage against bigger and stronger opponents, seals the puck and moves the puck up the ice to start a counter-attack. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
