The sons were born just then and he didn't want to play in the AHL while the Oilers had an LHD logjam, otherwise could have been a decent bottom-pairing no-nonsense defenseman.

Jonas Engström to Jokerit, not necessarily the most skilled player even for the lowly standards of Mestis but a reliable workhorse and an interesting signing in that he has taken part in a lot of promotion playoff games, including successfully taking Oskarshamn to the SHL as team captain.
