Did Jokipakka somehow end up in your NHL roster?
Well then. Sometimes we should pump the brakes just a little bit when hyping prospects.

I'll always remember being so happy at the 2010 draft and moreso when the Rangers took McIlrath than when Dallas took Campbell right after, just because the former guaranteed the Ducks would be able to get one of Fowler/Gormley. Turns out it mattered quite a bit that the Ducks had the choice between the two.

Too good for AHL, not good enough for NHL.
My understanding is that he can't play in the playoffs because he was traded after the deadline?
I doubt he gets re-signed, but who knows. B-Sens need help. Team is struggling, badly.

Nice work Ottawa!! This guy is better than currently playing. Hope he works out. Might be last chance in the NHL.

Is he actually too good for the AHL? 10 pts in 35 games this year, 6 pts in 39 games last year, for a 2 way or offensive dman does not scream "too good" to me.

I'm ecstatic about this trade as a Sens fan. This gives us FOUR players who were the defenseman of the tournament at the WJC. Karlsson, Phaneuf, Chabot, and now Gormley. Can anyone find out where Sami Lepisto went?
It happens sometimes. I think the only catch is that those players are not playoff eligible.

The roster numbers go up after the deadline so Jokipakka will stay on there for now. Remember also that he cleared waivers prior to the trade so can be freely shuffled up and down between Bingo/Ottawa as needed until the end of March.

As Sens of Anarchy said the only true trade freeze is during the winter roster freeze around Christmas. The trade deadline is simply about playoff eligibility...Gormley isn't eligible for Ottawa's post-season roster, which he isn't good enough for anyway.
Pretty stunning how far off the map he's fallen.

Salavat in the KHL.
Looks like his contract is up at the end of the year, too!

The Devils better got something for him. Otherwise, he would've been more useful for a Calder Cup run.
