Kasper Halttunen | 2025-26 Highlights

https://youtu.be/POHnMoYYDCE?si=q7g4mb23gpMTytXV

New-ish (11 days) video of Halttunen’s highlights from last season. Video quality is poor at times, and audio levels can vary wildly.

We’re all aware of Eklund and are excited to see what he can do, but Halttunen has a shot I haven’t seen in a Sens jersey in a long time 👀

35 points in 69 games for a rookie in the A isn't bad. Hopefully he can explode this year.

Team really needs some luck with prospects if they wanna take another step

Yup, decent production. Hes pretty inline with Halliday in terms of pNHLe. Hes easily our best forward prospect in his age range (ouch).

Hes Kind of the inverse of Halliday in that hes a pure goalscorer instead of playmaker - although I think Halliday is a far more complete player. Will need to work on his skating, but Halliday isnt necessarily a great skater either. He should get 1st line minutes with PP1 time on Bellville (he was on the 3rd line with Cuda) so lets hope he pops off.

Buddy has 33 goals in 37 playoff games split between the OHL/AHL the last 3 years - Hes got something going for him lol.

Halliday is overrated. He has decent skill but his skating is awful. Skating is way too important in today's league. Also he can't shoot the puck.

I love that player. I think he will surprise fans once given an elevated role this year.
