Erik Haula is better than I thought

[wintersej]

PERFECT modern #3C.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Good 7th round player.

 

[Huokaus]

Likeable guy, likeable player, likeable path to NHL success. Wish nothing but the best for the man.

 

[Syckle78]

I wish anyone who decided to go with a Haula pun was locked inside this thread for eternity.

Bah haulmbug

 

[Super Hans]

I hope he has a girlfriend named Valerie.

 

[behemolari]

Whenever talking Haula reminds me this unbelievable referring, Malkin broke his jaw.. no penalty

Took me a second to get this but when I did it was worth that second of my like.

remember Komarov's "knee" to the head on that other Russian player?

 

[sr edler]

Isn't surprised. Thought him and Hagelin, or even Grabner too, would be good pick-ups due to their quick feet.

 

[Channelcat]

If you ever wondered why it was so hard to break through the MN neutral zone.......Haula was part of the reason. He's a good smart player.

 

[Ben Matlock]

Haulang must this go on?

 

[Lapa]

Minnesota had no room to use him as good as Vegas is.

Karlsson right now is Vegas's best player though. Neal too.

Funnily enough, we'd need a player like Haula right now

 

[Mustard]

Should of been a basketball player. So he could be a haula....hooper.

Swing and a miss

Good complimentary player, but definitely the 3rd best player on the Perron-Haula-Neal line. That’s a skill all in itself though; finding chemistry with skilled players.

Ideally he would be your #2, but not only is he producing like a top 6 Center, he does a lot of little things off the score sheet and you can always count on his hustle / defensive game.

Obligatory bad joke - Vegas sure got a good Haul-a from Minnesota. Tuch is a monster possession player and a top 6 forward himself.

I can’t decide what under the radar return I like the most. Haula and Tuch or Smith and Marchessault. Minny I understand, but wtf was FLA doing...

 

[agent082]

10 of his 13 goals has come on third period.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Yes. And he also has 4 GWG's and at least the same amount of late game tying goals.

They needed to get rid of Smith because could not afford his salary.

 

[Teppo]

I like that his former Wild teammates used to call him "Haula Famer" in reference to his excessive confidence .

Second best nickname to "Bruce" for Granlund which would be impossible to figure out without knowing the background.

 

[Legionnaire]

I don't know but when it stops I'll give you a Haula.

Jyrki Jokipakka's nickname from his Dallas days is "Kevin"

 

[DrDrai]

I just like saying his name like “holla”
