Confirmed Trade: [EDM/LAK] Jussi Jokinen for Michael Cammalleri

[Sol]

How has Cammalleri been?

Jussi has two points in two games. Looks good.

 

[kings11]

Highly doubt Joking plays more than a handful of games for the Kings before he starts getting scratched every game.

IMO it is clearly evident that Jokinen is done in this league.

Think again.... already w/ 2 points and playing really well on PO caliber team... he seems to be a perfect fit on the Kings

Great, cause we really needed more salt in the wounds...

Cammalleri has been okay here. Not winning us games but not costing us them either.

He was invisible today against the Panthers. [mod]

 

[McShogun99]

I fully expect Jokinen to finish the season with 50+ points while playing on a line with Kopitar....

I would love to have you be correct only thing is Kopitar will only playing on the pp with Jokinen

Nah he's been playing with Dowd and whoever else is on the 4th line. Producing well so far too.

 

[KingsOfCali25]

He was invisible today against the Panthers. Maybe watch the games?

The Kings played the Panthers today so Cammy wouldn't be playing. So question still stands.

 

[King1s]

Oops. Chia's redeeming trade is not working like some apologists thought. What a shocker.

tell me more about your general opinions, so that i apply the exact opposite to my life

 

[Opado]

Some men just want to see the world burn.

 

[Sol]

The fact that no Oilers fan can give me an answer to a genuine question is pretty scary.

That's a really bold move.

I thought I did.

Cammalleri has been OK. Playing third line with Strome for the most part and PP2. No points yet.

 

[Dr Quincy]

I said it was a lateral trade earlier in the thread. LA is getting the same production from the guy they traded for as the guy they traded away. EDM is getting the same production from the guy they traded for as the guy they traded away.

I see thanks . Is he slow as hell for your team too?

 

[belair]

Haven't really noticed. Strome isn't exactly a burner so they'll probably work well together. Cammalleri's shot will likely get him some points moving forward though--we have plenty of passers.

No slower than Jokinen was for us. If Jussi has a solid season for you guys I'd take it as another indictment of McLellan's coaching.

Kind of like how these first 20 games is an indictment of our fanbase's entitlement. Handed a generational forward on a silver platter, rewarded with two full playoff series in his second year and now they're calling out the coach and GM after a slow start in year three.

Entitlement? 10 years out of the playoffs and the team is laying an egg in spite of said generational player. I personally have a bigger issue with the coaching than I do the GM.

Sorry, not necessarily aimed at you, but the general uprising against the management on the Oilers board just reeks of fan entitlement. It's as if people simply presume the Stanley Cup to be a given so soon after seeing the lottery balls fall their way yet again.

I admit, I disagree with a considerable number of McLellan's personnel decisions, but honestly, I've said the same about every coach at every level of hockey I've watched. I believe the struggles we've seen thus far lie far more on our players than they do with our coaches or front office personnel.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

I’m no fan of Chiarelli but are we really going to judge the return he got on a player who was largely useless for us?

Good for Jokinen fitting in on the new team. Wish him well
