Confirmed with Link: [EDM/LAK] Oilers trade Jussi Jokinen to LA for Mike Cammalleri

[ZJuice]

Lucic has been pretty good lately, if youre going to ***** about a player, at least be on point.

Good at throwing blind passes. His effort has been great though so I will not complain. He could do a better job at getting the Oilers some goals

 

[ZJuice]

True, he's been good and should get minutes so he can develop

Pak man needs to have a seat in the press box tbh

Pak man is the teachers pet. He isn’t sitting out unless he is injured

 

[SomeDudeOTI]

Khaira shouldn't be sitting unless he's hurt.

Todd mentioned upper body from last game in his presser

 

[King1s]

I am glad to see how our saviour will play. Waiting for a hatty. Go Cammalleri!

 

[ujju2]

Looking like a good trade for us so far. One period and I've already noticed Cammy more than Jokinen in his entire time here, no disrespect to Jussi.

 

[King1s]

Looking like trash for trash trade after the first game. Cammalleri is useless when he is not scoring and by the looks of it, he will not be scoring much.

 

[TaroTsujimoto]

Jokinen with a real nice feed to earn an assist in his Kings debut. Good for Joki.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

Cam with a patented one knee one-timer. This was the highlight of the game for me

 

[King1s]

Terrible posters on this board right now.

Trash for trash?

Guy's been an offensive contributor every year of his career.

Last year he only had 31 points sure, but the leading scorer on his team had 53 points.

How is your contributor looking now?

Out of place on the top line. He'll likely find a spot to fit in at some point but so far he's just trying to fit in. Regardless, he's got at least as many games as Jussi had here to show that he's worth a damn. It'll be hard to replace that solitary point for Jussi though.....

Has looked fine tbh, certainly better than Jokinen looked here. It was a minor deal so it really shouldn't have been a home-run expected return. Needs to shoot a little more, but overall looks like a decent add if played in a 2nd PP 3rd/4th line role.

Cammalleri? He's looking like a improvement on Jokinen and a nice pick up for depth for this team. You'd have to be some kind of obtuse negative ***hole to sincerely think otherwise.

 

[GameChanger]

I'm not critisizing the trade, I understand something had to be done and this was a pretty safe place to do it. However, when you compare the two players it's good to remember there probably is a difference in their defensive plays. Cammalieri is -3 in the Oilers while Jokinen is +1, which is a pretty big difference for the amount of games.

However, as the sample size is so small and there are other factors that play a role in these stats it's better not to draw huge conclusions yet. In 20 games or so we'll know a bit more.

 

[LMFAO]

Cammalleri shouldnt be playing over Puljujarvi

 

[rickysusedsht]

he is what he is 3rd line winger that when gets hot can run up to the top line. i think he will be ok here if he gets some key goals then great

He isnt.

Puljujarvi is playing games where he can be more easily sheltered. I dont see what the issue is.

You have to understand around here.

When we rush prospects its our fault
When we bring them along slowly its our fault.

Some people think the oilers never make the right decision.

.5 ppg

Points in 4 of his last 5 games.

Looking fine it seems.

 

[Blue Line Turnover]

People should remember that he was traded for Jussi Jokinen, who did absolutely nothing here. He's 0.5 PPG, seems like a good locker room guy, and still looks like he has his hockey sense/patience intact

 

[Stoneman89]

Always been a very cerebral player. Skating is meh to begin with, so losing a step isn't as big a deal as it would be for someone how totally depended on it. His pass to Nuge on the PP, where he faked out the entire Bluejacket team, including Bobo, was a thing of beauty and Nuge accepted the gift with aplomb and vigour. Night and day to what Jokenin brought to this team. Mind it, it isn't that hard to beat nothing.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Beauty PP feed to Nuge tonight, he looked a bit swifter by my eye as well. He seems to be finding a niche on the team.

I agree.
The real beautiful part of the play IMO was the fake shot with the leg lift. That completely froze the goalie and the defenders...gave RNH an open net goal.

Very smart vet play by Cammy.

That and he is 35. I mean if the guy was a 60 point guy you wouldn't get him for Jokinen and LA wouldn't have gotten him for 1mil. Guys like him have played their best hockey, but on a team who was lacking some winger depth he could still add some on ice advantage at times.

 

[ToeMcDrag83]

I was pretty meh about this trade when it first happened. I was thinking sideways move at best.
He has proven to be a better fit than I thought, so quite happy to be wrong on this one.
