I noticed that he didn't put up too many points with the ducks, but seemed a lot more productive with the Canes. Is that just a fluke or did he start improving near the end of the season as he got more used to the NHL?

Ducks have been the absolute worst offensive team in the league last season and bottom 3 the year before

This guy is one of the best stay-at-home d-men in the game at the moment. He may not put up that many points, but in the defensive zone you can expect him to be as solid as Lindell is. 3 x 1.5M is a freaking steal.

Really wanted to get a solid partner for Sekera this offseason so mission accomplished here. Nice work Nill/Finish mafia for recruiting this guy

6'5" monster who hails from Finland. Not a shred of offense but pretty damn solid in his own zone and plays physical. This is the most prototypical Dallas Stars defenseman anyone could possible find and I'm all for it.

Hi again,

Really liked this big fellow’s game when I watched him play with the Canes after the TDL. Kept a tidy crease. Nice signing by GMJN, imho.

A few memes & jokes in celebration…

Sami Helenius comes to mind.

I concur. Great hair. Great looks. Could easily model.

I take back my Helenius comparison. He wasn't this handsome...and that's an understatement.

Good lord, this guy is going to be playing hockey and doing those weird cologne and suit commercials on the side with fashion companies. Jani Hakanpaa, professional hockey player, international male supermodel.
