You're right to suggest that he could play in the AHL on loan. I'm not so sure the Hawks would want him doing that already. Seems like a big jump for a kid who just turned 18.

Usually about 6/year...that's all my wife can stomach I try to catch them locally on TV...You get to a lot of WHL games being up in the NW?
Hawks had 2 options at #29 for RS Rd man ....Jokiharju and Timmins. .they chose HJ over CT...Timmins is a bit taller and they are similar in weight so it had to come down to other factors and playing style..
Jokiharju is allegedly 6'0 187 but he looks so small in the pics taken at the draft when talking to Pat Boden and in tge pic with Stan Bowman ..Now I do not know if Boden is a tall man...Stanbo is not tall ...Yet Jokiharju looked like a shrimp compared to both of them..was this illusion in that Stan and or Boden were standing on a higher level when the photos taken? Whatever Jokiharju looked like a smurf compared to them ...I hope hevisblikely not that "small" ...loke like a 5'6 guy...cannot explain why he looked sp shrimp ...the pic made it look like he only came up to Stan's chin level.So Stan had to get on a higher level ...right? Boden must be 6'4 if Jokiharju is 6'0 right?OR Jokiharju was standing on a level below them for some reason in his respective photos with them?

Henri Jokiharju: 6-foot-0.75, 187.9 pounds
Subtract an inch for shoes (they say 2 but who wheres gym shoes that are two inches tall anymore?).
Adjusted: Henri Jokiharju: 5-foot-11.75, 186 pounds
Smurf? Come on.

I've been collecting some information about this guy from my Finnish "insiders" who know him very well because I didn't know this guy before draft day. And I think I know pretty much everyone of the high picks even outside of Finland.
I know Finnish people can be either very suspicious or highly optimistic about something and can not been anything between that. But what I've heard, Jokiharju is very ambitious, he trains very hard and he want's to be a NHL'er. His personality is that he is not shy even when he isn't speaking his native tongue, he likes to prank people but he got some leadership in him too. He is very likeable guy.
The more I get to know him, I really like this pick. I think he has more potential than any other Finnish Dman who was drafted and one guy who knows them all said exactly the same thing. I like him.
did you just make a 6ft guy 5'6"
Prince wore 6" lifts.

Well, this is copied from the prospect boards;How's he doing so far?
Temper the enthusiasm in realizing Portland has a stacked team of talent and can run roughshod over a lot of not so good teams in their division of the WHL. ..still recall that Jokiharju with 3 a last season in the Top Prospects Game was the Player of the Game when alk the CHL top talent for tge draft was playing in the game ..So no doubt playing with top talent even again st bother top talent he is capable of helping an offense score.Thenproblem is ,do tge Hawks have enough "top talent" ANYMORE to convert alk those goid set-ups he can bring?We seek to have massive problems converting chances...so you wonder where the talent went..eg.Toews Saad ...and in the supoirt cast...Panik Sharp...even in the kiddie corps Schmaltz. All mired in a Goal drought of epic proper ion. .Jokiharju setting them alk up for more fails woukd only make us more disappointed..He cannot get asdists if they keep failing to beat goalies ..So temper the enthusiasm..Besides Q will find a way to mess up any talent he has ..do not expect a "saviour"..Maybe if we had a few more Centers and Wings who ...you know..could fill the net some what more consistently instead of once or twice every 12-16 games at best (Jeith may never score goals again even at that slow pace)...
Having actually *been* to a couple of games he's played in..not too bad. His D positioning and coverage is good and he can put up the points.How's he doing so far?
too bad, with his offensive productions so far, i really thought he would be a top pairing D-man.Having actually *been* to a couple of games he's played in..not too bad. His D positioning and coverage is good and he can put up the points.
Like I said when we drafted him...give him a year or two acclimation to the A/NHL and the Joker should be a solid middle pairing guy for us.
