Player Discussion: Joona Luoto

[Hunter368]

Kid looks solid defensively, works hard and is very fimilar with both Laine & Vesalainen. Could be a solid bottom six guy, good PK guy and energy guy.

Brandon Tanev 2.0

 

[bustamente]

Enjoyed his play tonight hopefully he gets a few more games, maybe even put him on the top line with Scheifele and Wheeler

Brandon Tanev 2.0

Crazy-eye score out of ten?

I liked his game. Can see PoMo preferring either Borque or Letestu tho.

Brandon Tanev 2.0

Brandon Tanev minus some offensive ability. Minus too much and you have James Wright.

 

[surixon]

Well Tanev was in his mid 20's when he joined the team and wasn't good offensively right off the batt either.

We will have to see if Luoto can develop that aspect of this game. I think he is destined for the Moose but could get some call ups and be mainstay next year.

 

[Beavski24]

I don't think he will ever be a mainstay on the team.

IIRC wasn’t Wright as soft as butter ?

Tanev if fast while Luoto is smart. So maybe not. But their attitude on ice should be pretty similar.

Maybe he can center Laine and Vesalainen and then we wouldn't have to hear how crappy Little is anymore .

 

[Henkka]

Pretty hot lately in Finland at playoffs. 8 games, 7+6=13 points.

Is he summer UFA, because the last contract was terminated?

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Looks like he missed much of the Liiga regular season (nine goals in 27 games) but he was the leading scorer for champion Tappara in the playoffs.

Is that evidence of potential in terms of an NHL future or more indicative of the competitive gap between the two leagues?

No longer a Jets player, thread isn't needed.
