Lasse Boelius News: Finn links up with Anaheim

Boelius was the 60th overall pick by Anaheim in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Saturday.

Boelius was one of the top Finnish prospects available this year, which says more about it being a down year for the country than anything else. He played well enough with Assat's Jr. club (four goals and 18 points in 34 regular-season appearances) to earn a brief seven-game trial with the big team in which he posted two assists. Boelius is very mobile and possesses good vision, although his power-play skill set is middling. He also needs major work in the defensive zone, particularly when it comes to one-on-ones. Boelius' long-term growth is almost entirely tied to how much he can improve defensively in the coming years.
