Kingston Frontenacs acquire Vegas Golden Knights draft pick Tuomas Uronen [https://deweb-519a7.b-cdn.net/post-images/a602159a-6d7c-4531-be73-74ac54dff1f7.jpeg] Kingston Frontenacs acquire Vegas Golden Knights draft pick Tuomas Uronen The Vegas Golden Knights have signed forward Tuomas Uronen to a three-year, entry-level contract. The 20-year-old was selected in the sixth round (192nd overall) of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft by the Golden Knights. Playing in the OHL with the Kingston Frontenacs, Uronen scored 38 goals and 90 points in 63 games, finishing second in goals and tied for first in points on his team. The 2024-25 season was a breakout campaign for the Kerava, FIN native, winning a silver medal with Finland at the World Juniors [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vegas-golden-knights/tempest-thn-golden-knights-ci02f0eb82b00027e8]. He scored two goals and three points in seven games, but his two goals were vital to Finland's success. "Tuomas Uronen's game is built around his hockey sense and sneaky-good skill level. He anticipates the play in advance, takes intelligent routes both with and without the puck and manages the puck well during in-zone play. He's inside-driven, never cycling the puck needlessly and has a knack for playmaking from below the goal line especially." -EliteProspects 2023 NHL Draft Guide [https://www.eliteprospects.com/2023draftguide]. Listed at 6'0, 192 lbs, Uronen can play both up the middle as a center or on the wing. His shot has improved since the draft, and it's become increasingly capable of beating goaltenders when given time and space. The right-handed shooter will likely start the season with the Henderson Silver Knights in the AHL next season, joining a young crop of players highlighted by Trevor Connelly, Jackson Hallum [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vegas-golden-knights/latest-news/golden-knights-sign-ncaa-prospect-to-entry-level-contract], Matyas Sapovaliv [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vegas-golden-knights/W1ztfgxin7yPuYx4k8Bd], Braeden Bowman, Kai Uchacz and Jakub Brabenec [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vegas-golden-knights/tempest-thn-golden-knights-ci02f47f4aa0002680].
