Prospect Info: 58th Joni Ikonen

[EveryDay]

KalPa announces that Joni Ikonen has signed to play for another year in Liiga.

I'm fine with this, he need to stay healthy for a full season now....

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's not quite ready for NA anyway so I'm fine with this. I want him to go injury free next year and really establish himself as a top guy in the Liiga.

 

[Hfbsux]

I expect big production for him next year. Wonder if his teammate, Texier, is gonna come over?

 

[Agalloch]

Another year and he's AHL bound for the 20-21 season.

 

[montreal]

hopefully he can stay healthy next year, work on getting stronger, adding mass this off-season. I wonder what took so long as he was rumored to have re-signed a while back.

Texier is over here now with Columbus's AHL team in Cleveland. He came over as soon as KalPa's season was over.

The kid's already got 5 pts (3G, 4A) in 4 GP.

Oh wow! Wasn't aware of that. Good pick by Columbus, looking like a steal.

I don't understand your names in blue. All Jets' players, right ?

She confused the bulldogs with ST john.

My bad... I will go fix. I was using the St John's team instead of the Hamiton team in the AHL filter. Thought the prospect pool was so bad that I didn't recognize those players either. lol

Thanks for letting me know. Look at the 12/13 year now. Quite a bit of rookies that year! I thought Gallagher and Beaulieu played the year before as rookies.

Curious... rewind back to when Gallagher played his 1st AHL game. Did you consider him a grade A prospect or a grade B?

 

[Habs Halifax]

She confused the bulldogs with ST john.

Yup. I was using the AHL filter from year to year and the thing reset each time our AHL team moved cities. Should of looked into it more deeper when I didn't reconize those players. Just thought our prospect pool was even worse than I though in those seasons.

This one's on me.

I don’t think Ylonen and Ikonen will play in Laval like Lehkonen

 

[Habs Halifax]

Possible but the point is showing depth charts and what is coming and how the quality/quantity will help our future ability to fill holes on the NHL roster. You can add Romanov to the Ylonen and Ikonen mix.

 

[Tyson]

I am not following, Lehkonen never played in the AHL

 

[Le Barron de HF]

I think he meant to say in the same fashion as Lehk.

 

[Vachon23]

I think he meant to say in the same fashion as Lehk.

Yep that’s what I meant. Sorry for the confusion

 

[ahmedou]

Have some interesting tools. Deploy them persistently to erase plenty of questions marks... That he's largely effecient from acceeding to the level above. Catching up his slight delay. Is the main task. It's not a race against the clock. Far from it...

The kid's already got 5 pts (3G, 4A) in 4 GP.

Uh, 1g 1a in 5gp.

He did ppg in 7 games in AHL though.

He's looked good in any case. Great speed and terrific down low and along the boards.

The post you quoted was posted when he was in the AHL, which at the time of that post, he was at 5pts in 4 GP.

 

[ahmedou]

Being more versatile won't cause him any trouble.

Can't wait to see this kid at development camp. He was dominant 2 years ago. But he'll have some stiffer competition this year in an older Poehling, Suzuki, Brook, plus Romanov, Ylonen, Olufsson, etc...
