Player Discussion jussi jokinen thread: just jokinen

[Eddy Punch Clock]

So lots a posts here so did he play last game? I dont really watch the games too much anymore since the Benning extension so not so sure

Read the lots a posts.

Doesn't look like he'll even get to see the inside of the locker room... if he's even actually here in Vancouver.

Everybody can see it with Jokinen but there is still call for Sedins return?

Yeah, they're really following the same arc this season.

 

[F A N]

Wasnt he the guy who was good at shootouts or was that some other guy

It was he. Jokinen has had a pretty good NHL career given his streakiness and inconsistency.

I wonder what his 3 team no trade list is. Must be very important for him not to go there.

Utter sacrilege.

I do hope he suits up for at least one game in a Canucks uniform...

 

[orcatown]

Article below suggests he might be looking for new contract. Please keep Benning away from him. Hoping Dahlen can have similar career to Jokinen

Wait...is he actually going to see games for us?

If so, I’m honestly embarrassed.

 

[Hansen]

Should just toss him on waivers so he can continue his victory lap around the league

If he's retiring after this season, I could see them giving him a one game send off out of respect...

If not, he better not get one game, taking time away from a young player getting a shot. If Eriksson, Gagner, or any other vet sits for him, fine, but if he takes away playing time from a young guy or a guy busting his ass to stay up such as Archibald, that's ridiculous, imo. (though with Green, I kind of think he'd sit a younger guy rather than a vet to accommodate him, so....)

The guy is clearly finished at the NHL level.

 

[Verviticus]

He is not even a cap dump really. He makes 1M and CBJ easily had enough room.

I have no idea how we ended up with this player.

ehh, if you can save $200k unloading on some dipshit team, why not

 

[Melvin]

Sure, but then it has nothing to do with the cap, you are just taking advantage of a supreme doofus to save some cash.

 

[Verviticus]

their team is based in ohio, seems prudent tbh

if i were an owner i’d be more comfortable throwing out cash for advantageous moves if i knew my gm was trying to save money where he could

Didn't Benning say he was the hockey deal part of the trade? WTF is going on here?

good article. thanks. i guess he is useful to sub in so green can hold guys accountable. he might also be helpful if a certain finnish player arrives here late in the season.

what is the definition of a hockey trade? i think it means a roster player for player swap intended to help the active roster, and not driven by cap but i am really not sure exactly.

 

[Jyrki21]

I can't remember another Canuck whose tenure with the team (and NHL career) was so obviously over before he even played a shift here.

Steven Reinprecht, I guess?

Honorable mention to Dave "centerpiece of the Bure trade" Gagner?

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

They'll dress him for shootouts.

 

[krutovsdonut]

wasn't cbj the only trade partner?

maybe jarmo was trying to stop torts playing him in favour of younger guys and they didn't want him in cleveland either.

i think it was not as clear for gagner that he was done right at the time.

 

[MikeK]

That's my understanding of it as well. Why did Benning even say what he said if there was never any intention of him dressing?

i think he is practising with the team and green might put him in.

by that definition the whole trade was a hockey trade i guess. maybe the alternative to taking jokinen was that we pay a late draft pick? that would have been fun to discuss.

 

[RobertKron]

good article. thanks. i guess he is useful to sub in so green can hold guys accountable. he might also be helpful if a certain finnish player arrives here late in the season.

Yeah, he can hang out with Salo if he decides to come out of retirement.

 

[groov2]

You are correct. He was considered the first shootout specialist.

 

[krutovsdonut]

Yeah, he can hang out with Salo if he decides to come out of retirement.

they could talk about all the times they played together for finland.

 

[David Bruce Banner]

If so, I’m honestly embarrassed.

Didn’t Baertschi leave the last game early? If he’s out there might be an opening.
