Kupari will get that here. He is eligible to play in the American Hockey League at 19, and he could be a regular for the Ontario Reign, the AHL affiliate of the Kings. The first step in that transition is playing in the smaller North American rinks. Christian Ruuttu, head European scout for the Kings, says Kupari has to move the puck around quicker on the rush, shoot more on the rush and “be ready for a grind of a season, which he actually had” in order to adjust.
