I would describe Jääskä as an poor men's Lehkonen. Good all around player with scoring ability, you can put him in any line and any situation, and he will deliver.

Also Jääskä was just named to Team Finland for the training camp in preparation for the upcoming World Championships; Leijonat - A-maajoukkueen MM-leiritys jatkuu Jyväskylässä ja Mikkelissä - Kolme uutta nimeä mukaan

We’ll need depth, tweeners, and if he’d stay in the AHL if he doesn’t play much with us we’ll need vet scoring. Seems pretty similar to the Swede (?) who played well in the AHL for us a couple of years ago and went back right after being a leader who didn’t really get a shot with the big club.

We at least got a couple Calder Cups out of him. Still surprised he never really got a look

How Has he looked in his first taste of NHL Action?

I think he's easily got the game to be a good fourth liner that can play up. Good fit on our team with his play style as well. He keeps the legs churning, forechecks, causes a little chaos, and I think he has it in him to provide a bit of offense even at the NHL level. His line has had a tendency to be noticeable in a positive way when he plays.

very true. We dont believe in calling up prospects to play 8-10 minutes a night on the 4th line, unless forced to. Jaaska may get an early opportunity than our draft guys because of that.

C'mon down and collect your prize!
