Proposal: Rumors and Proposals Thread: "JJ" - Jokinen signed. Any further moves?

[Titsuple]

Lots of smoke that it's Jokinen. He'd be a great addition.

More smoke? Other than Speedyturtle hints?

Earlier in this thread someone said a poster on a Finnish forum who is allegedly connected to his inner circle said he's signing in Edmonton.

 

[McDrai]

Speedyturtle, Why couldn't you have just given the name? Lol

Nothing major, but some generic twitter chat and finish hockey boards suggesting that he's the one.

Take it with a grain of salt. You never know if people on Twitter have info or are part of an echo chamber.

Because fifteen pages of speculation is more fun

I've got it.

JJ Abrams is directing the reboot of Oil Change.

Grain of salt for sure. Although it's interesting that the Jokinen rumour came before Speedy said what he said. Makes me think it's probably true.

I would like to believe it's both Jagr and Jokinen. Since Jagr hasn't been offered anything, I wonder if he comes calling Chia and asks if he can come and play for 1 year at a cheap deal? And Jokinen I can see signing for 2 years.

 

[Glass Eyes]

I know people aren't fans of advanced stats here but a lot of stats people say Jokinen had a terribly unlucky season and is due to rebound. Keep in mind he scored 60 points the season before this one.





He's good at faceoffs and the shootout, only thing that could be better if he was right handed.

Plus maybe he can teach Puljujarvi to speak better English.

Not for me, this is torture

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

Jokinen would be a great add. As for ALSO adding Jagr, I would never say no to that, but Im fine if we go without.

Sign Jokinen and have a versteeg like camp invite to make Pulju earn that last spot

 

[SomeDudeOTI]

All I know is Speedy has given me something to look forward to. Pretty much checked out waiting for Drai but now I can hardly wait for tomorrow

 

[Raab]

Lol.. Or the Mediterranean Chicken.

The question should be does Speedy Turtle endorse the Mediterranean Chicken?

What if it's not Jaromir Jagr or Jussi Jokinen, but Jagr and Jokinen?

Our forward depth would be insane.

 

[Raab]

Fairly certain it's Jokinen. He makes the most sense by a country mile. There's your upgrade on Pouliot. Another guy who can take draws as well and play all situations.

Maroon - McDavid - Draisaitl
Lucic - Nugent Hopkins - _______
Caggiula - Strome - Kassian
Jokinen - Letestu - Slepyshev

Khaira, Pakarinen, Puljujarvi

Shaping up nicely...

Jokinen is better then any of our LW's not named Lucic. Why is he on the 4th line?

 

[McDrai]

Maroon-McDavid-RNH
Lucic-Draisaitl-Jagr
Jokinen-Strome-Puljujarvi
Caggiula-Letestu-Kassian
Slepyshev

Stacked!

[Burnt Biscuits]

Based on all the chatter out there I'm guessing we will sign Jussi Jokinen tomorrow, probably not done today just cause they wanted today to be all about Semenko.

He and Hemmer were buddies at this point.

Jagr is a merc. I don't think there's anywhere he wouldn't go, provided they paid him.

[Jeff Lebowski]

Is this official now? Sounds like it's a done deal to me.

 

[McDrai]

Dustin must read hfboards

 

[ChaoticOrange]

I know I shouldn't be disappointed with Jokinen because he's a better, more versatile player right now.

But.... Jagr.

 

[Namtsua]

Dustin = SpeedyTurtle!!?!?!?!?!
