I don't know how they did it yet again, but this guy has a legitimate shot at being the greatest ever NHL mr. irrelevant. And similarly to the current title holder, Hörnqvist, Huuhtanen has a decent but not huge frame(though admittedly bigger than PH), is a strong skater and is not afraid of physical play. A bit reckless with penalties at times but that can be ironed out, or, if the results translate, won't matter. I've seen him play live, he plays with the confidence and maturity of someone far beyond his age.
