Value of: A Finnish player to EDM (that's a regular in the lineup)

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Want Lehtonen Or Neimi?

Oilers signed Tuukka Rask's ex back-up Jonas Gustavsson so they ( Oilers) don't need another goalie.
But Julius Honka would be ideal player for Edmonton.

Oilers are lacking right handed shot defenceman so Honka fits perfectly to Oilers need.
Seems that Honka is stuck in AHL and if Dallas won't protect Honka Las Vegas is going to take him next years expansion draft anyways.

Tuomo Ruutu might be just the guy. He has been a hero for the Finnish national team and surely is a player that Puljujärvi has been looking up to.

I'm more than surprised if Tuomo Ruutu plays in NHL upcoming season.
He was one of those Finnish players who didn't score points past season in New Jersey.

Also his injury history is longer than McDonalds hamburger line in Christmas eve.
So i doubt there's some NHL GM who's ready to sign him in the team.

We already signed him. Jere Sallinen. We also drafted one. Poolparty.

Honka doesn't have to be protected

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

Pouliot for Lehtera. If Lehtera can play all positions that is.

Saves the blues some cap I think.

 

[crashnburnluder]

What can we work out around Pulkkinen

What can we work out around Pulkkinen

What's he asking for contract wise?

What are Det needs?

 

[TorontoTrades]

Kapanen and 3rd for Nurse

 

[HowSweeeedeItIs]

I'll drive Filppula all the way to Edmonton

 

[Josepho]

you can take ****** ol markus granlund any time

 

[Roof Daddy]

Filppula

For

Yakupov
Fayne

I would do this, not sure Tampa would. The only thing is, I'm pretty sure Flip has a NMC, so first he'd have to waive it to leave a contender to come to a team that hasn't made the playoffs in a decade, AND he'd have to be protected in the expansion draft.

Like the player, but not the right guy currently.



So far the suggestion I like the best is Haula. He's a burner and plays an ideal game for a 3C (reminds me of Helm a bit). He and Puljujarvi on the 3rd line (where Puljujarvi should start) could help offset a slow guy like Maroon.

Nuge + ???? for Spurgeon + Haula. That would be the perfect finishing touch to Chia's off-season.

Get Ville Pokka. He's a northern lad like Pulju and a decent prospect on top of that. Will cost you though as Hawks are kind of high on him, and can use any cheap young talent that they can get their hands on.

Cringe everytime I see that name... dumbest nik ever..

Yep, it's awful. I imagine he'll be called Pulju anyway.

 

[LTIR Trickery]

You can have Filppula. He'll likely have a bounceback season, too.

 

[That Habs Fan]

David Desharnais speaks French and English, I'm sure he could figure Finnish out.

DO IT

 

[Srsly]

Call me crazy, but I think Jussi Jokinen would be a good fit on the Oilers. I'm not sure what they could offer Florida though.

 

[Alklha]

Yakupov for Lehterä.

 

[JJTT]

This would actually make sense since they are from a same town(Tornio) and already know each other. Plus young RHD is a big need for EDM.

 

[WonderTwinsUnite]

Well Tampa might be looking to move Filppula but probably not right away

 

[Reddawg]

Yep, it's awful. I imagine he'll be called Pulju anyway.

Could just start calling him "Pushme"

 

[tjs*]

Lightning have no interest in Yakupov or Fayne but you could probably have him for a decent plate of poutine.

(In other words we don't want to take on salary beyond this season but a pick or a depth scorer whose contract expires after this season would suffice.)
