Wow. More valuable than Joseph.
Was not expecting anything back. Jenik should at least be pretty good in Belleville. Good trade.
I think there is an opening for a player like Jenik to make the team. Our fourth line is wide open. I assume they targeted a player they had some familiarity with who they thought had a chance to make the team.
It seems like Sokolov has wanted a fresh start for the last two years. Even if he becomes the next Mark Stone, it wasn't going to happen here. This seems like a good trade for all parties involved, the teams and the players.
Better points per game than kaliyev?
The Kings might want an actual asset for Kaliyev.
Both these players were waiving fodder on their respective teams. This is a nice little change of scenery move for both franchises, where if either player amounts to anything it's a bonus.
