Kalto, 18, recorded 22 points (14 goals, 8 assists) through 44 games with the U20 TPS team in the U20 SM-sarja league in Finland during the 2024-25 season. Additionally, he played three regular season games and five playoff games for TPS in the top Finnish league Liiga.

Unfortunately, the 6-foot-2 forward did not hear his name called and will re-enter the draft.
