Confirmed with Link: Canes trade Haydn Fleury to Anaheim for Jani Hakanpaa, 6th

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

All I will say is that our third-pairing, once both Gardiner and Bean are straightened out, looks elite now with Hakanpaa being the RH anchor. He's certainly going to a priority to re-sign this offseason, since good stay-at-home righties aren't exactly a fungible commodity. Not exactly as rare as a Dougie, sure, but still, it isn't the easiest thing to find. Even with as much as I like Joey Keane as a prospect, Hakanpaa would be a good bridge between when he's ready.

He's a large specimen.

STILL IN AWE AT SIZE OF THAT MAN.

Hamilton - Pesce - Hackysack had to be one of the biggest set of RHD out there.

Dougie - 6’6 - 227lbs
Pesce - 6’4 - 201lbs
Hacksaw - 6’5 - 218lbs

That’s a lot of beef right there

I was bit confused at first when listening to the highlights. I kept hearing word hockey'n'puck. First I thought Big Rig is trying to find his own style. Took me surprisingly long to realize he's talking of Hakanpää.

I hope he can be re-signed for cheap for at least 2 years.

Fleury has played 18:53 so far with 12 minutes left against Vegas. He is even so far.

I agree with @Helsinki Hurricanes, he seems like somebody we need to keep around a while. I'm feeling a lot better about this team in the playoffs now, the defense is a lot more diverse as a group.

Hak Hogan.

With all the physicality Jani plays with, wonder if an Ass Guard is part of his padding.

 

[TomppaKoo]

Faces might look similar, but Hakkis (that's his original nick) is bigger than Thor and would check him into the bench, if they met.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

That presumes he is still with the team in 2023.

I liked this, but now realize how poorly this aged.

I see you missed my GDT post.

How about they go one game without getting pinned in their own end for more than one shift before we anoint them as elite, mmm-kay?

Oh Joe...dear sweet Joe. Bless your heart. That GDT will be but a distant memory after Hakanpaa scores an OT game winner in the 3rd round of the playoffs when someone bumps this thread in celebration.

I don't give a shit what hand he shoots with- I just like that he blasts dudes into their team's benches.

(for those that doesn't know, that's Scots Gaelic and means "guts".)

Hakapana hi hakapani ho.

Elite.

Well Thor does have that hammer thingee.....then again, Jani does have a hockey stick.
