The Toronto Maple Leafs selected Roni Hirvonen of Ässät from the Finnish Liiga. Hirvonen is a 5’9”, 163 lbs centre who was ranked 54th on Bob McKenzie’s consensus rankings.

Hirvonen is currently playing a game as the second-line centre in the Liiga. No points for him yet. Don’t know if anyone will tell him he’s been drafted.

Here’s a few scouting reports about the newest Leaf:

> Hirvonen is good. He's usually Finland's best player at International events, since Lundell is a year older.   
>  
> Pretty good skill, pretty good playmaking, good motor. Goes to the net. Well-rounded.   
>  
> I had him in my top 25 not too long ago. Skating + size limit his upside a bit. [pic.twitter.com/X1Js34jeLh](https://t.co/X1Js34jeLh?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)

> Roni Hirvonen was playing a game when he was drafted by [#Leafs](https://twitter.com/hashtag/Leafs?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com): "I was pretty nervous before the game, but I think I played pretty well, and it was in the third period that they had the draft on the big screen and I saw I was drafted by Toronto. Unreal feeling."
