Nothing about Jere Innala’s numbers over in Sweden scream NHL player at first glance, but the Colorado Avalanche saw something they liked, giving the winger a one-year contract that will bring him to North America next season. Just being honest, I don’t really watch Swedish hockey when the NHL season is going on, so I don’t know much about Innala. For more information, I reached out to a scout who works for a team in the Swedish Hockey League (Not Innala’s) to see if he would give me a scouting report.

He agreed, but had something he needed to attend to first.

“Gotta open a Beer to celebrate first. Hold on,” the scout messaged me.

After he celebrated Innala exiting his league, at least for one season, he gave me a quick report on what Avalanche fans can expect.
