My 17 year old said this to me and was shocked that I knew where the meme was from....

Olli Palola deflected it in.

No 4-0 sweep. Sad. Sad because i don't think Jokerit wins this series no matter what, so 4-0 would be the best.

Gonna disagree here. Prospects winning at lower levels is never a bad thing. We are t in any way desperate for his arrival. Let things take their course.

Would've posted the whole clip but I don't think the mods would've liked Bunny's line.

OT: I went to a Huntsville Havoc game a few weeks ago and it was Big Lebowski night. Movie clips on the video boards, and a costume contest featuring several fans who wore bathrobes to the game. It was a good time!

All tied up going into the 3rd period...

Jokerit lost game 4

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Go to Moscow, lose, and put Eeli on the first flight to NA.

 

[Legionnaire11]

This is actually pretty good. Jokerit can lose but put up a good fight, win a game, take one to OT. Hopefully Game 5 is a close loss and Tolvanen gets on the score sheet.

At this point, I could care less what Tolvanen does in the KHL. As long as Jokerit loses and he doesn't break his femur, I'm content.

I’m thinking he makes his NHL debut Legwand style at the last regular season home game.

Anyone else want to roll out the welcome wagon for Tolvanen at BNA?

Old school.

I wonder if Pekka has a bed made for Eeli already

According to a finnish tabloid Iltasanomat (usually pretty well on track with the hockey issues), Eeli has signed the ELC a while ago. It was supposed to be published after Jokerit end their playoff run. Also they have visa, work permit and other stuff already taken care of.

Any chance someone who is proficient at using Google Translate can post a full transcript of that translated article? I tried, but it was a failure...

I was able to read it, and they are reporting it has heavy performance bonuses.

There is only so much they can add to it, ELC's are pretty heavily controlled by the CBA.

I thought some of those deals can almost double depending on performance?

They all have a top out point though they can't excede. It's the reason when the Vesey mess was going on the contract wasn't a point of focus because every club would have given him the exact same contract.

It does not have that much more new information:

Eeli is gonna go almost immediately to NHL after his KHL season ends and that ELCs in general have a standard structure.

It also says that he has higher performance bonuses than Laine. Laine's max bonuses would be 2,650,000. They also mention the possibility of bonuses outside the contract, such as from trophies, finishing in top10 in scoring etc.

Could be that he has some playoff bonuses this year, since I suppose the player salaries are distributed by regular season games instead of the playoff games?

Other stuff in the article is just recap from his career so far.
