Jyrki Jokipakka Shouldn't Play another Game as a Flame

So basically being poked in the eye with a sharp stick is better than putting him in an NHL lineup? Lol

 

[Back in Black]

What the hell is a Jokipakka???? Now I'm upset with Dorion!

 

[GWNR]

What the hell is a Jokipakka????

If you have to ask, you can't afford it.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Why didn't we just trade Lazar for Burrows and keep Dahlen?

Picks and prospect are so overrated on these boards it's crazy. People still not getting over Dahlen.


So many prospects don't make it and there are just so many roster spots. We have White Brown Chlapik coming up up front. I think people exaggerate on some deals to be honest. Was the value fine? No Dahlen's value was better than that but this one is a fine deal and VS24 was a good deal too.

Was hoping the Sens could pick up a 5th or 6th Dman. I think we going to have trouble if we make the playoffs with Borowiecki, wideman, Ceci.... I guess Kulikov and Franson were too expensive.

 

[DJB]

Yes he did

Any chance for a scouting report. Hes intriguing to me

If all Lazar Sens jerseys come to you, you will make $6.

Because now we can pick Dahlen 2.0 with that 2nd and have something to talk about on draft day.

Jyrki Jokipakka Shouldn't Play another Game as a Flame

Here is my favorite excerpt. So sad...

"The bottom line is that Jokipakka's is a detriment for a variety of a different reasons. His numbers are worse than replacement level, he's bad even by the Flames standards, they have better options to work with, he drags his pairing down, and he keeps the team from being able to ice an optimal lineup. There isn't any use keeping him around.

Jokipakka isn't all that young by NHL standards and he doesn't have a lot of ceiling. He's 25 years old and this is an individual who was selected in the seventh round five drafts ago. If he hasn't peaked, he's very close to doing so and what limited ceiling is there screams out that he isn't good enough to have a permanent home in the NHL."

Sens Left Dmen in order

Methot/Phaneuf
Methot/Phaneuf
Cleasson
Jokipakka

Boro

 

[BigRig4]

Probably Dorion's best move so far. Either that or Condon have both been A+ moves.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Good question. Only thing I can think of is Van did not want Lazar or Dorion thought he could get more for Lazar

Jokipakka is big 6'3 and 216lbs defenceman plays stay at home style he won't contribute much offensively.

Here's some extra information of him.

Was this about Jokipakka or Boro?

 

[KnuckChuckinTkachuk]

Wonder if Dorion will package the 2nd with our 1st this year to move up at the draft and try to get a 10-15 pick range to get someone they like if it's really considered that weak..

 

[Tundraman]

Jokipakka? hmm?? oh I know....isn't he a character on the Teletubbies?

At least Dorion can pretend he stuck to his word and didn't trade Lazar for a 2nd

 

[Skobel24]

Jokipakka has potential to be a solid #5. When he was acquired, he did really well for the Flames, and many of us were speculating he might be on the 2nd pairing wit Brodie. The Jokipakka we saw this year was a disappointment, but I don't think that's what you should expect. I think a change of scenery will do both himself and Lazar a lot of good.

By the way, his nickname is Kevin.

 

[derriko]

Does Dahlen have a younger brother who's draft eligible this year? Pick him with this 2nd and all will be forgiven.

That's Dahlin and he is probably going top 3 in the draft lol.

 

[Dino Tkachuk]

Good question. Only thing I can think of is Van did not want Lazar or Dorion thought he could get more for Lazar

Because if Vancouver is buying a lottery ticket they wanted the potential payout to be as big as possible. Lazar is spending $2 on a ticket hoping to win $50.

 

[Golden_Jet]

What year is the second rounder?

 

[BVicious]

Jokipakka is decent but don't expect much. The 2nd was the highlight piece as Joki cleared waivers yesterday.

Let's hope he doesn't injure a player in your practice like Seiloff did or we will never trade again.

 

[The Lewler]

Good trade, feels good man.
