Kasper Pikkarainen brings fire and brimstone whenever he steps on the ice. He never fails to capitalize on a good opportunity to make contact, even laying big open-ice hits from time to time. It’s not all about the physicality, though; Pikkarainen also brings plenty of craftiness as a passer, both in the offensive end and in transition. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
