gonna be a hall of famer in 2166

Jokiharju has two gold medals this year, so yes I believe so.

So? He was the stick-boy for one of them.

Just doing some reading on him now - makes me wonder if we could have traded Bracco for him.

Bracco > Nylander

I believed he was one of the 'steals' in that draft...

looks like the '17 class gonna be extremely weak; thus far it is Heiskanen and Pettersson, then the top2 picks - and not much more...

So apparently Buffalo won this trade?
- Atomic Wedgie

Jokiharju is very very good. Played #1 on pairing in Chicago before coaches were changed. JC (the new guy), benched him. He just turned 20 aswell. Things looking up for Buffalo with Dahlin + Jokiharju for the next decade.

Unless Nylander can excel next to Toews or Kane, this will sting for awhile.

I was never that impressed with Hischier or Patrick, to be honest. But there are a lot of players in that draft I still like. Maybe not stars, but Thomas, Suzuki, probably Brannstrom, I still think Mittelstadt might turn out above average. And of course Makar. I'm hoping for Liljegren, obviously. . .

I was going to make a joke about the Russian that Tampa drafted will turn out to be stud, but then I looked, and they did draft two, and they do not look good.

Ya... How about no?

Sportsnet is tanking and will forfeit the Canadian NHL rights to TSN by 2020.

Hope to (frank) that means no more Jim Butthole Hughson.

For sure there's gonna be a few other developing into very good players. And I forgot Makar - expect him to be a top pairing D in 3-4 years!

How in the ever-loving frank is Don Cherry not in the Hockey Hall of Fame as a broadcaster?

Like, seriously, how in the ever-loving frank?

Here's the list:

https://www.hhof.com/html/leg_broadcasters.shtml

I look at some of the names of the past 15 years or so:

John Davidson
Mike Emrick
Pat Foley
Rick Jeanneret
Peter Maher
Nick Nickson
Sam Rosen
Dave Strader

I don't want to get into a poop fight here - I won't put down any of these guys (although Rick Jeanneret?!?!? Really!??!?).

But you have to be smoking crack cocaine every day to think that any one of these guys has had a greater impact on hockey broadcasting than Don Cherry.

It's franking shameful.
- Atomic Wedgie

Doc Emrick is (frank)ing awful.

Complete nonsense.

The best player we got from that rule was Réjean Houle. And we only used it like twice despite it being available.

After that, the Habs just bought every team in Quebec so they’d own the players rights.

You're welcome.

Went to Russia - sucked. Signed a PTO with Marlies near the end of the season last year. ???. Profit.


He won’t be much if anything (Thanks Lou/Hunter). I just wanted to give a shoutout to Mussel.

Mikko Kokkonen, though.
