Joonas Donskoi avi but not a SEA fan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sadly he'll be snuffed out by the Oilers rather than traded for value.. Well there's a minor chance for him to play in Kärpät again..
Maybe he goes to Europe for a couple of years, and comes back a better person and a better hockey player at 23.....
Didn't work that way for Val Nicushkin…..
Really hoping Minnesota is able to pull off another Nino-like acquisition....
Then we can proceed to trade him for a cap dump after he has 1 bad year.
Fine send us Zucker
He should have accrued 2 nhl seasons. Didn’t play in the nhl enough to earn a year towards ufa in 16-17.
He is either 5 or 6 years from ufa depending on where he plays next season.
If he plays in the nhl next season he would be ufa in 5 years so in 2024.
If he returns to Finland he would be ufa in 2025.
He either needs 7 nhl seasons or turns 27 with 4 nhl seasons.
I think our Cal Clutterbuck comparable would be Marcus Foligno
What about Perreault straight up? Oilers get a player that can immediately contribute to any line and any role, Jets shed some salary and take the risk on Poolparty.
Would Carolina want him for someone like Fleury? Carolina has a lot of defensive depth, and I know Edmonton needs defenseman. Or they could trade someone like Gauthier, another 2016-er who isn't quite making in the NHL yet?
Edit: or as part of a bigger deal with Faulk?
Nope. Burned a year of the ELC, but didn't hit 41 games, so didn't burn an RFA year.
That doesn't apply in this case because he wasn't sent back to juniors.
