Jokerit Helsinki 2014/15 Season Talk - Part III

[teddy83]

I have a crazy suggestion, Sami Salo?? He has a big shot although he has a hehtaaripyssy, he is right handed, he doesn't wet his pants when some CSKA Mickey Mouse comes to forcheck him? And looks like Olli Palola doesn't come to Jokerit next season, damn http://www.jatkoaika.com/Uutiset/olli-palola-siirtyy-vitjazin-paitaan/166058

He's 40 and didn't play anywhere this season. He's pretty much retired.

I hope not, I think it's a win-win situation for both Jokerit and Karlsson if he stays.. From the reports that I've seen about him, he really seems to enjoy his life in Helsinki

He developed alot so I would give him second season. In the start of the season, he played entirely different style than now. If he can keep developing next year, he could be cup winning goalie perhaps.

Anyway, Jokerit needs strong other choise.

 

[QnebO]

Not sure about Salo. Kimmo Timonen would be more likely from the vets but if he played he could end up to KalPa, which I wouldn't complain though.

Omarks contract expires 30.04.2016, look at KHL website here

Kurri confirmed that Omark's deal was 1+1 with player's own option and Omark has canceled the option last month, meaning he is listening Jokerit's offer and others too.

Kurri also mentioned there havent been talks with Engren.

JMA has own option for next year too. Wirtanen has NHL option.

 

[QnebO]

Olli Palola would be the most important signing. Bad if they can't get him.

 

[Eye of Ra]

How could you guys let Hardt walk? He would be perfect in bottom 6.

He wanted to leave.

 

[Finnpin]

He wanted to leave.

You don't know that, there were also talks he wasn't given contract offer as there were Finnish options for Hardt's role.

Surprising to see Jussi thining that way.

There were comments that he wasn't sure he'd get playing time in KHL and wanted to play somewhere where he would.

And then we have something like "Nichlas Hardt and Broc Little didn't fit to Jokerit's KHL plans"

IMO both players would have suited to KHL even Little eventhough his season in Liiga didn't work. But that's history.

I think he's going back to North America. He said somewhere that it's time to go back or something like that. Not confirmed stuff though.

Him going away is uncofirmed, rumor he's going to sign with NHL team is unconfirmed.

I doubt Moses will become a regular in the NHL. He's too soft. Size doesn't matter nowadays, but you gotta be tough enough to play in the NHL.

You're absolutely right with your doubts. As I have said, he needs granlund summer and the right vitamins.

Is Zuccarello tough?

Moses is well trained/fit and I don't think he could bulk too much --> could hurt his speed. I've red he is very strict what he eats and has even watch alarm so he could eat on correct time etc. He is a total pro in that regard. Especially last summer he trained really hard and was in his best shape as a pro ever.

Like I've said before, I think his chances in the Bigs is about 50-50. Depends on the team and role given.

I liked that he called "Jokerit/Helsinki" his hockey home and said maybe he will play in Jokerit in the future as he is still young player.

Good luck and thanks Mo!

According to Jokerit's instagram account, Henrik Karlsson extended his contract for one year. Good news, it's important to have him back!
