Confirmed with Link: [BUF/BOS] Henri Jokiharju to Boston for a 2026 4th round pick

[dire wolf]

I really wonder what some of our D men would look like in their own zone with better defensive coaching. I'm thinking specifically of Power and Samuelsson, but Joki probably falls in that category too. Offseason priority should be new assistant coaches and staff (I'm assuming there is no chance they get rid of Lindy)

Are we sure Lindy wants to continue?

I could see this season being enough to say it’s time to head home and call it a career.

A 2017 top 10 pick becomes a 2026 4th rounder.

It’s called compounding baby. Suck it Buffett!

 

[Ace]

If we look at the 2017 first round I guarantee there’s players taken much earlier dealt for less or out of the league completely

Joki was 29OA. Let's not pretend he was some "can't miss" lottery pick.

He was talking about Alex Nylander who was traded for Joker straight up.

So we turned a top 10 pick in Nylander into Joki who turned into a 2026 4th round pick.

Nylander wasnt the 2017 draft though.

He’s also not an NHL player and Joker, for some reason, is…so they got more value out of that pick than they should have, honestly

Out of the NHL, afaik ... Nolan Patrick (2nd), Callan Foote (14th), Kailer Yammamoto (22nd), Shane Bowers (28th).

That was a damn fine draft. 2017 NHL entry draft - Wikipedia

 

[JLewyB]

Ill say it. Is it a 3rd or even a 2nd if we retain salary and trade him to a contender?

Gotcha. Sorry Doug. @Doug Prishpreed

I’ll say it. Is it a 3rd or even a 2nd if we retain salary and trade him to a contender?

If a contender wanted him…maybe you get a third, I guess. But I just don’t know why anyone would aside from what Boston is doing. Semi warm body to close out the year. Then move on

Similar to turning a second round pick in Guhle and a first round pick into Montour, who they then turned into a mid round draft pick.

 

[StrompTroller]

Lmao. Pennsylvania is not between Buffalo and Boston.

if you take the long way around anything is but I strongly suggest just not driving in Penn to begin with lol

A contender would pay us to keep him.

Oh god...another reminder of how farking clueless this organization is, when they took Alex f-ing Nylander instead of McAvoy/Sergachev/Chychrun. Time for another purge. My therapist says it's good in moderation...

I mean, rape charges do that.

 

[ForsbergMoDo21]

Who was responsible for fixing the fax machine?

Ironically, one of the only front office employees to not have been sacked.

 

[ForsbergMoDo21]

Joki might end up the NHL version of Milton from Office Space.

Then we should reacquire him so he burns this franchise to the ground.

Also, there’s probably a hockey/Office Space “TPS” joke floating around in the ether, but I’m too tired to figure it out.

 

[Moncton man]

Joki might end up the NHL version of Milton from Office Space.

So you’re saying they fixed the glitch?

Are we ever going to retain salary on a player to weaponize our low spending for the 100th year in row? One of these years it’ll happen.

To do this, you needed a team with cap issues and it wasn't Boston.

Hey they took on a higher contract with Norris. His highest cash payments on his deal are all to come. Big ones too. Starting next year. His three lowest cash payments appear to have been this year and the last two.

And he’s the new highest paid forward on the team which is interesting,

It’s not nothing.

I’m aware. The point is…we never do it. Ever.

Unfortunately yes, and I don't understand the reason.

Minnesota tanked the value of 3rd party retention a few years ago
