Confirmed with Link: Alex Nylander traded to Chicago for Henri Jokiharju

What an outstanding trade by Botterill . For a defenseman who put up 12 points in just his 1st season pro in under 40 games in the NHL and looks incredibly promising for a player going into his 4th pro season and has done next to nothing

 

[BloFan4Life]

Nylander's injury were getting quite frustrating, not to mention his absence from prospect camp. I was all for giving him a shot to see if he had anything this year, but if you can get a guy who has already shown more, I am all for that.

 

[5 Minute Major]

Look for a Ristolainen trade by the end of the day. Probably already agreed upon. If not, his value just went down even further.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Bowman must see something in Nylander. Feels like Chicago is taking on most of the risk in this trade.

Maybe Buffalo wants all their RHD to be Finnish and all their LHD to be Swedish.

[PegulasSportsEmpire]

Good.

Guy was a complete bust!

 

[Tatanka]

Hate this trade.

 

[OkimLom]

If we ice 12 D and 6 F can we bring the Rover back?

What do you think Risto, McCabe, Scandella new purpose will be...

Botts making good moves this off season. Let’s see what he does with the forwards to see if he gets it.

That doesn't sound right. It might push Bogo out of the lineup, but I don't see why Risto would necessarily lose his place.

 

[Sleestak Nation]

I won't be all that mad if Nylander blossoms elsewhere. Maybe Yotes fans feel the same about Strome

You gotta think that Stan Bowman now feels that he has the magic touch to fix all the underachieving first round forwards.

[sufferer]

Even if he's not ready right away, he's clearly part of the not-to-distant future. Which means that Ristolainen is not.

True. I thought Risto was done here regardless and was just saying I'm not sure of Jokiharju's status as a legit NHL option straight away. This seems like added insurance on D while doubling down on Tage Thompson.

Montour, Miller, this new guy are all fresh acquisitions by Botts, assuming he thinks new guy is nhl ready. Who does Ristolainen displace?

[jBuds]

Love love love love love love this. Holy hell.

Nelson as the #7.

 

[SnuggaRUDE]

Is it possible to have too many RHD?

 

[joshjull]

 

[Chainshot]

Well that’s a surprise!

 

[Zip15]

Like it.

Now trade Risto.

 

[Gabrielor]

i LOVED joki in his draft year.

I need to digest this trade, but Joki is a hell of a player.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

I’m torn on this. I still think Alex turns into a good NHLer, top 6 winger.
