If we ended up getting a nice 2C we should still have a formidable D and now have added middle 6 in Vesey and MJ. As someone already mentioned, roster surgery is already well underway. Let's hope it works as well as Botts envisions but I'm down with making some big changes. Expand I only know Jokiharu shoots right, couldn't find anything on which side he plays. Quote

Expand I think it's a wee bit premature to declare a winner on this trade. Disappointed that Nylander never worked out but, whatever. This trade just screams more moves are coming since we have too many bodies on D. Keep it going J-Bot. 2 Quote

dudacek Posted July 9, 2019 Report Posted July 9, 2019 This trade will be acclaimed a Sabre steal by the internet because amateur prospect watchers perceive Nylander a bust and Jokiharju a riser. To scouts it’s a trade of two talented kids of approximately the same age and similar ceilings. Some will remember having Alex ranked in the top 10 three years ago and say it’s not too late to save him from Buffalo’s mishandling of him. He will probably get a shot in the Hawks top 6. 2 Quote

His great passing skills also set him apart from the crowd. Owns tremendous mobility and confidence with the puck. Does not own ideal size (6-0, 180 pounds) for a National Hockey League blueliner, so he must add some more bulk and get physically stronger in order to maximize his defensive output at the highest level. Right handed also, way too many on that side of the ice, something else has to be in the works Expand looks like he played at 193 this past season. Quote

I'm too lazy to dig too deeply into google so I didn't see why he had so few games played last year after starting the year in Chicago. Quote

Scottysabres Posted July 9, 2019 Report Posted July 9, 2019 So, we are stacking D. This is a strong indication more is coming, and not just on the Right Handed D side either. The earlier reports of Buffalo speaking with Gardiner, especially given just how bad Scandella played and the oft Injured McCabe, it looks like pieces are being put in place for a near complete D rebuild, including depth. No? 1 Quote
