Past Fantasy Outlooks

2019
2018
Suomela played a small role for the Sharks in 2019-20, managing seven points and 27 hits in 20 games. The Finn typically only played in a fourth-line role, and it's likely that continues in 2020-21, which gives him a very low ceiling on a rebuilding team. The undrafted 26-year-old has 15 points in 47 career contests over two seasons, which is a decent scoring rate despite his meager ice time. At that established pace, he could be good for roughly 15 to 20 points if he plays a full season, but players like Noah Gregor and Alex True will challenge Suomela for his job.
Suomela has flown under the radar as a late-blooming center from Finland. He notched 55 goals and 75 assists between 169 games in SM-liiga before splitting the 2018-19 campaign with the Sharks and AHL San Jose, averaging 0.37 points per game between the two clubs. Suomela's rapid rise to prominence ultimately prompted GM Doug Wilson to reward him with a fresh one-year, two-way deal. A solid training camp could result in Suomela cracking the Opening Night roster with the Sharks for a second straight year, but in order for him to be an appealing fantasy option, it'll take much more than the 11:19 of ice time he's averaged to date. Either way, early signs point to him shuffling between the NHL and the minor leagues with regularity this season.
Suomela drew serious among NHL teams before agreeing to a one-year deal with the Sharks in June of 2018. He led the SM-liiga -- a Finnish league -- with 60 points (21 goals, 39 assists) in 59 games last season. He was recruited by the same Sharks scout credited for bringing Joonas Donskoi, Marcus Sorensen and other burgeoning forwards to the Bay Area. Already considered a polished product, he'll have a chance of making the Opening Night roster to open the 2018-19 campaign.
