If he wasn't launching at the guy I'd have less of a problem with it.

If this true it's sad news. Finnish d-men are such a rare breed in NHL nowadays.

I'd hoped EDM would sign him going into FA. Solid top 4 guy. No wonder there were offers on the table.

Just wait for vatenen to finally get his shot in the big leagues. He may not be the typical defensive defensive, but damn that guy has some game

Sure hope best for him. Haven't seen him play that much so I really can't tell.
And of course there are those "maybe one day" guys like Määttä, Ristolainen, Pokka - but still amount of Finns as d-men is rather slim.

I guess Pitkanen doesn't count because although he is a dman he'd rather play forward most of the time joining the rush.

That was a listing for those up-and-comming guys. Pitkänen... I thought his biggest minus was the injuries but it seems that the fans have other issues as well...

I suggest you guys call the pens, Niskanen or maybe orpik could be available relatively cheap. help fill the gap

We'd happily take orpik. I think he'd fit really well with the ducks. I don't want anything to do with niskanen though
