Pasi Nurminen was already 25 years old when the Atlanta Thrashers selected him in the sixth round of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, 189th overall — a late pick for a goaltender who had built his professional foundation in his home country of Finland before arriving in North America. Born in Lahti on December 17, 1975, the left-catching netminder stood 5'10" and weighed 215 pounds.
