Helenius is a fierce competitor who is not afraid to get physical around the net. He is smart and quick-witted, and able to find rebounds to create additional scoring chances. If drafted by the Kings, he would be well positioned to earn a spot on the roster, potentially as early as the 2024-25 season, given his NHL readiness.
While Helenius would not have a role on most NHL teams next season, he would have a particularly easier path to join the Kings, and not just because of his physicality. Firstly, he is right-handed, a quality that is nearly non-existent in the current Kings forward core. He can also play both center and right-wing.
