Sportsnet: Oilers shopping Jussi Jokinen

[Masked]

Maaan hockey was alot better before advanced metrics were a thing

More like hockey forums were a lot better before the silly stats started getting spewed out.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Jokinen has the highest 5on5 Relative Corsi For % among all Oilers forwards at 7.54% as well as the highest xGF% at 77.97%(!!). Also ranks 4th among Oilers forwards in xGF at 5.45.

And the Oilers need goals... so getting rid of him sounds like a great idea lol

He's got an oiSH% of 0%(!!!!). Zero. And a PDO of 88.0. That's in 9 games.

Could he be any unluckier? I don't think so. Would be dumb for the Oilers to let him go but by all means, please do. Chiarelli gonna Chiarelli.

You could just ogle spreadsheets or you could listen to those of us that watch every game. I swear in most games this year I couldn't tell you if he was playing or not in-game, he's absolutely invisible.

Style wise, that's not out of the norm for Jokinen. However, the Oilers were still probably expecting some production out of him.

I'm all for whatever makes the Oilers worse so if they get rid of him, I'll be a happy camper.

Now if they sign Kelly if/when they send Yamamoto back to junior, I'll be ecstatic.

OMG WTF BBQ USSR

LIKE, WHO IS THE OILARZ GM THAT IDIOT MCFEEEEE? NO MORE UFA TO EDM E600

 

[OCPenguin]

I'd claim him if he'd go on waivers. Pretty easily actually.

I don't understand why JR didn't sign him to be honest.

 

[MissionCanucksFan]

Canucks will gladly send Gagner to you guys for Jokinen

 

[McWeber]

Canucks will gladly send Gagner to you guys for Jokinen

I'd do it if you retained a million.

 

[CaptainCrunch67]

Not worth anything anymore.

Oilers could waive him and he wouldn't be picked up. He was an acceptable risk, but that risk is over.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

I thought he was supposed to be the best signing of free agency. Yet another steal by Chiarelli....?!

of coarse if this meant anything the oilers would be happy with him instead of trying to get rid of him.

Oh right, because the professionals neeeveeer make mistakes. Got it.

 

[Kybb79]

Flames will send future considerations for him?

 

[Dempsey]

We're talking about a veteran player who only makes 1.1 million on a 1-year deal. Just let him be a decent depth player who kills penalties.

People are disappointed we're not getting the 45-60 point Jokinen for 1.1 million for some reason. They got their hopes up that he was still that player. Just let him be the aging fourth liner that he's paid to be.

 

[Seachd]

Oh right, because the professionals neeeveeer make mistakes. Got it.

You're assuming the mistake would be his based on a small sample size of stats you find interesting, as if that's all that matters.

Obviously, many people who have been watching Jokinen don't see it the same way.

 

[tony d]

He's still a good player, to bad it hasn't worked out for him with the Oilers.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Teams will probably wait for him to get waived. At that point, I'm sure he'd get claimed.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Honestly I'm not sure they'd waive him. Why get rid of a cheap reliable vet? Even if he wasn't what they expected, he's still useful as a 4th liner/PB forward.


Wasn't there a simular talk with Strome eariler this week too? Next on the list we'll hear how Auvitu is availible for the right price...

 

[Dan Kelly]

I'm all for whatever makes the Oilers worse so if they get rid of him, I'll be a happy camper.

Now if they sign Kelly if/when they send Yamamoto back to junior, I'll be ecstatic.

Actually dumping Jussi will have absolutely zero effect on the Oilers because he himself has had zero effect.

Last time sportsnet had a rumor Bob McKenzie came out a couple days later and debunked it.

Jokinen hasn't been good offensively and I don't see anyone really wanting him this early in the year. He is the type of guy that you want offense out of, but if he can PK and be a solid defensive forward I'm sure you can hold on to him. Especially considering he was brought in to help JP whenever he makes the club.

Look, I get you like to rag on Chiarelli and the Oilers every opportunity you get. You do this in every Oilers thread. You have some agenda, axe to grind, you name it against the guy.

Jokinen has played a whopping ten games with the Oilers. He has very good possession numbers according to Corsica. He, like a lot of the team, is having trouble putting the puck in the net.

Kinda being said about most of the team right now.

He would be picked up off waivers pretty quickly.

 

[seafoam]

Is it me, or is Chiarelli a bit impulsive?

 

[Unspecified]

I still can't believe he has played almost 900 games, I remember when he started with Dallas and was money in the SO.
