Samurai Jack will not be happy.

Yes, he is Aatu Räty's brother

 

[biturbo19]

Can we get him to the Canucks somehow, to have some assorted Ratys to go with our collection of Elias Petterssons?

 

[OKR]

Was solid in the Liiga this year, looked like a completely different player after leaving Kärpät. Would like to see him play another year in Liiga, in a big role for a whole season.

 

[Jukurit]

He had good regular season but very disappointing playoffs.

Arizona's release says 3 year deal, but I thought, as he was turning 22 this year, he'd be limited to a 2 year deal

@mouser, do ELCs go by the regular age determination (ie. a "22 year old" would be any player aged 22 by December 31 September 15 of the year) or literal age at date of signing?

Their PR people probably goofed. Should be a two year ELC.

How about Greg Bavoie

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

ARIZONA trying to cheat again by signing a three-year contract when only the two-year contracts are allowed eh?

Will the NHL strip a 2nd rd pick from their draft this time around?

 

[scud9]

Similar player to Jets' Mäenalanen but not as good.

 

[Bond]

Yes, he is Aatu Räty's brother

I was wondering how Raty ended up on the Coyotes

 

[BusQuets]

Has much better hands than Maenalainen

the only reason I clicked this thread was to find this information

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

So Autu and Aku.

Will Lane Pederson be part of this master plan too?

I think that experiment ran it's course. I'm sure there's some more John Millers or something out there we could acquire that would be a lot more compelling.

Im disappointed the Pederson to Pettersson (sr) connection didn’t work. That seemed to be a great start to something good.
Also, I thought it was Jimothy Timothy Miller not Johnathan Taylor Thomas Miller.

Yeah. Sometimes things just don't work out as well that they do on paper.


Really, i think any Jim Jam Timmy Tom Johnny Joe Tam Tam Todd Miller or whatever would probably suffice.

So Autu and Aku.

Don't forget the other brother

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

Don't forget the other brother

I had this same thought

 

[Glorydays22]

Is he better than his brother? hopefully a better skater.

His brother was traded for Bo Horvat. The Bo Horvat.

And?

Aatu has been better in every level so far despite being the younger one and has noticeably higher potential and drives play more.

Aku is slightly smaller, less clever but with much better skating and motor. He is a workhorse/energy player who plays a straightforward brand of hockey. His strengths are 1on1 battles, forecheck and willingness to battle in the corners. He does have offensive potential too but he is more of a complimentary player.

Both have good shots and two-way game.
