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

Just took a look, but Jussi's stats look very poor in LA. 3 points, less than a minute per game on PK.

Any chance he just retires to play in the Olympics?

I thought he looked like he had already retired when he played for us?

I thought he had been a habitual healthy scratch during his tenure here; turns out, he had played 14 games for the Oilers, many of which I had watched

I was certainly expecting more from JJ, but to be fair I don't know if he was that different from the likes of Caggiula, Strome, Slepy, Malone, Kassian and Letestu. The whole bottom6 was creating nothing at that time.

How different the current bottom 6 now looks.
JJ Drai Strome
Slepy Letestu Kassian

I'm still sincerely surprised the Kings did this deal. Cammalleri hasn't dominated, but he's contributed.

Funny how JJ got a few points early in the trade and people were saying it was another gaff trade. Cammalleri's defensive woes were blown out of proportion I think he looks okay in that department, and Nuge helps with the sore spots anyway.

Maybe, he won't be relied on to be a defensive stalwart, he just has to be decent and then he can succeed in other areas.

Agreed, whatever he brings defensively isn't the key point with Cam, he shoots and puts pucks on the net, which is what this team sorely needed. JJ did almost nothing here and it seems that it continues in LA.

JJ's issue is his skating is very slow at this point. It's hard to contribute when you can't get there.

Jussi's skating wasn't any better, though, and at least Cammy has been a better proven scorer in his career. He and JP should be getting much more looks on the 1st unit PP over Letestu, but that's not going to happen it seems.

Numbers wise it is a push of a deal

Cammy heathy scratch a few nights has 6 pts vs JJ 5 pts in one more game
