Joakim Kemell is a talented forward who shot up draft boards to his incredible hot streak to start the season. The first thing is evidently clear about his game is his stellar puck skills. His hands set him up for success and has even seen him embarrass professional competition at select moments. Additionally, he possesses what most would argue is a top-5 shot in the draft class. He is also a fine skater. He can generate speed quickly, which allows him to be effective at transitioning from defense to offense. Even better, his forechecking is always a quality trait due to his stellar acceleration and strong edges. These tools also help in the defensive zone, allowing him to close in on opposing defensemen quickly, pressuring them into mistakes. In the defensive zone, his positioning is fairly adequate but his inactive stick in these instances does allow for plays to be made at the blue line. The other concern for him is how effective his offense is outside of his sniping ability. He is sometimes seem primarily as a perimeter player who benefited from his strong shot and some lucky bounces to inflate his scoring. He’s not particularly strong, either, so driving towards the net is not something he does at a frequent enough pace. However, a lack of strength should be expected for a draft-eligible playing in a top professional European league. Given time and the right program, this is an element that shouldn’t have long-term concern, and his strong skating and elite shot make a solid prospect worthy of his draft position. Kemell could, too, outperform that draft slot should he develop a more well-rounded offensive attack to compliment his shot and stay as an average defensive talent.
