Quite clear, Finland colonized Montreal
I liked him when he was a prospect and he's always looked good against Montreal- was surprised how poor his numbers have been though. But he's big, aggressive, has a good RH shot, and has underrated skill. He's of that Smith-Pelly, Bourque type- probably mostly a big body in your bottom 6 but able to put together stretches where he's excellent.
With way more skills than his stats indicate. He averaged 10.5 minutes of ice time on a deep team and still put up 29 pointsHe played behind Wheeler& Laine in Winnipeg. He was in a defensive role.
Honestly people will complain about his offensive numbers around HF and keep ignoring everything else he does and brings to the table.
He's a depth guy quality teams should want.

I hope he can become more than a 12 goal scorer. It at least it sounds like Jets fans really liked his game.
A rebuilding pieceI actually liked Joel Armia in Winnipeg. He doesn’t make our team much better obviously because he doesn’t really address anything to important but it was a decent trade in my opinion.
A rebuilding piece
He's like a winger Eller. He's the type of 3rd line player you want to have (instead of Shaw).
Dude is a BEAST on PK. Other than that, kinda meh but should be good on our third line with Pleky/DLR.
So where are Lehkonen, Hudon, and Scherbak going to play if that's our 3rd line?
The thing is Bergevin wants him in addition to Shaw. He wants to fill the lineup with this type of player.
But yes, Armia might be a good piece for our future GM to add higher skill around.
And also, I'm not a huge Eller fan. He was great for us 1 year in the playoffs and this year for Washington. But unless you have Backstrom, Kuznetsov, Oshie, and Ovechkin in front of him, him and his tunnel vision aren't my ideal 3rd line center.
Lehkonen and Hudon probably on the left side, Scherbak with more offensive players.
