The Devils believe they got a steal in the second round by selecting Lenni Hameenaho out of Liiga. They got their first look at what the winger could do this summer when he visited New Jersey attending development camp along with the other rookies. Now, Hameenaho is set to represent Finland at the World Junior Summer Showcase. For the Puckdoku players, the Devils are a category in today’s game, have fun.
