Prospect Info: At 30th Overall the Predators Select Eeli Tolvanen

Is the scenario really that much different than when we brought Radulov back over or is it actually?

I think Radulov's contract was over, Eeli's is for another year (although year 2 is player's option)

IIRC Radulov had one more year left on his contract. Him coming over to play the end of the season and the playoffs for us technically fulfilled the final year of his contract. It has been like 5 years my memory could be better.

 

[Drake744]

Yeah I think we were burning the last year on his deal.

 

[Scoresberg]

I thought he couldn't come this year as the leagues have no agreement to ship players away. He has the option in the 2nd year that's why he could come here. Also, KHL ends in, depends on how far the team goes, but in late-february to early-april. I'm thinking somewhere March is where Jokerit ends their season.

That would make sense, since they're both romance languages, IOW derived from Latin (Rome) as opposed to Germanic. English is Germanic in nature but borrows a lot from other languages.

merda (l) = merde (fr) = mierde (sp)
scitte (ger)=our term

You see the relativity.

I just discovered there are towns named Hooge Mierde (tall/big Poop) and Lage Mierde (Crappy Location) in Europe.

That's funny--people have a weird sense of humor. My mother in law used to live on Dividing Ridge Rd. Guy got mad at someone who lived on there (quite possibly my MIL--she has her enemies) and had enough pull in the city that he changed the name to Seed Tick Rd. Oh, MIL was furious. She stomped down to City Hall and managed to get it changed back. If he'd named it Big Poop Rd there probably wouldn't still be a Goodlettsville.

I'm pretty sure somewhere outside Pigeon Forge is Boogertown road.. which implies that there is an actual Boogertown.

There is. My college boyfriend's twin brother lives there. Keith has a band, Boogertown Gap Old Time String Band. Funny, I just saw something on FB about it because it's Craig and Keith's birthday today.

 

[AnalogKid]

Boogertown...I think I have just found the locale of my next fantasy sports team.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Uhm.
This thread used to be about Eeli.
But I don't mind.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Uhm.
This thread used to be about Eeli.

Every time I see a new post I click, hoping to see some good news about Eeli... then it's just more posts about language

 

[PredsV82]

I honestly thought we were talking in another thread... I click the dot and when the post comes up it doesn't compute that it's in the wrong thread... sorry for contributing to the derail... maybe the mods could move the language talk posts to the OT thread??

It may have been covered already but I have a question about his eligibility next year.

If Eeli makes the team out of camp and then has problems can he be sent to Milwaukee or does he go back to Europe? Was not sure if the stupid Q age restriction rules for the AHL applied to guys who did not play in the Q.

I think he can go to the AHL. He was talking about possibly going there this year before signing in the KHL.

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

He could go to the AHL if he wants to. Forsberg and Fiala were playing in Sweden at 18 and in the AHL at 19.

I would honestly be surprised if Eeli didn't make it to NHL next year. He might have been ready this year already. It's kind of hard to find perspective to what he's accomplished up until today. The reality is that without him Jokerit wouldn't be nearly as good as they are. Apart from the last three games he has been a driving force in the team that doesn't really have any superstars. If he can do it there I expect him to be able to do it in NHL also. Eeli's type of players find a way to adapt. We rarely see this kind of jumps between seasons (USHL => KHL), just remarkable to think about it.

Might have been the easiest he's scored all year.

 

[Scoresberg]

Played really well all game too. Over 20 minutes of ice-time and 7 SOG.

Still over PPG.

 

[Scoresberg]

Might be a sweet TDL pickup.

 

[Adz]

Might be a sweet TDL pickup.

Would we be able to pick up a player already in our system if his season isn't over?

 

[King Weber]

goal #13 for Eeli. Good setup by Lepistö.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Here's the said goal

 

[Scoresberg]

Lepistö is dynamite on the point.

Tolvanen has also had two 2-on-1's in the game.

 

[Soundgarden]

Looks similar to the goal he scored Monday.
