Ville Sato-Maki, son of Toronto North Stars legend Ryosuke Sato, is a highly touted player just based on his father's playing career. He is expected to be excellent on the defensive end of the ice, but has much to learn overall with regards to his skating abilities. His skating abilities may be a concern for the long term if he doesn't start to work on it now, but he certainly plays a really good 200 ft game. Draft ranking-wise, we expect Ville Sato-Maki to be a late 1st rounder, early 2nd rounder as he does not have the hype as his father once did entering the league. However, with that, he is going to work hard to prove the doubters wrong and to try to surpass the status of his father in the SHL as he brings excellent on-ice work ethic as well as off-ice leadership and commraderie. Be on the lookout for draft ranking changes as the draft comes closer!
