Apparently we have signed a Finnish Winger , not named yet.


Mikko Juusola Was the guy rumoured weeks ago on the twitter rumour pages.
I'm that certain of this one I've already got him added to my spreadsheet.

Fox let it slip there were 2 Finns on the team and I think at that point Juusola had already been rumoured. Then somebody else noted that he's started following Steelers hockey on social media.

Westerdale commenting in The Star today that the guy signed had a poor season last year also ties in, because Juusola didn't score a single goal.

I'll be shocked if it isn't Juusola.

He can also play right wing. This could be our next signing based off of a few clues on social media.

Played with Deluca, Greenfield, and Simpson season before last

If it is him then he’s got reasonable size, relatively good scoring record albeit a little intermittent and seems happy enough to get involved with the physical side of the game, although doesn’t seem particularly successful with it when he does

My guess is this guy https://www.eliteprospects.com/player/21591/ethan-werek

From the few clues around, would fit. Olsen was one of the others that also fitted.

There's a couple of others who it could be, but are less likely.

Werek isn't from British Colombia, which was one of the clues in Bob Westerdale's article.

Olsen does tick that box.

Bob alluding in the Star other Centres arriving at the club that are more versatile than last season could be more of an hint towards Olsen.

Could just be referring to Simpson and Watling though, since we re-signed Whistle and Allen/Neumann.

However, Olsen does look like he ticks the boxes of clues
