Ehh, not entirely. but then hasn't totally been in a "position to succeed" either, in terms of linemates etc. Hence the "ish"... I feel like if a team really bought into his international stage success and pushed him out there in a legit top-6 role, he may have fared better. But a lot of teams don't have that kind of spot to present on a silver platter. Certainly the Preds don't. He had some decent showings, but I think all in all we hoped for more. It's not wrong that the Preds would send him to the AHL, purely on training camp merit. I kind of feel like his resume ought to have given him a little more leeway than most players get. But it's fair either way.

You just tried to compare Kotkaniemi to McDavid. Take a walk.
I misremembered, either way, he spent a decent portion of time in the AHL during that season.

I thought he was good enough to make the team in camp, but we already have 6 top-9 wingers (Forsberg, Arvidsson, Smith, Fiala, Hartman, Jarnkrok) and I guess he didn't do well enough to take a spot from any of those guys.

Scored his 1st AHL goal tonight. Now 2 points in 3 games.

Eeli Tolvanen - kicked in the teeth again ... and that by another clueless Canuck who have ever never seen him (Tolvanen) play in either KHL or the Finland mannschaft in the Worldchampionship.

3 assists last night.
His 10th game will be in Manitoba this upcoming Saturday, so we'll know after that if he plans to stick around or go back to Jokerit.

Apparently there's book being released about him soon...
Also he confirmed he is staying in AHL instead of going to KHL.

New finnish trend - Release a book of everyone who's even slightly famous.
Is there a source on this? I just can't find it anywhere else. Thank you, either way, if true.

He says AHL is the best place for him and the fastest way to NHL. He does not explicitly state that he'll stay in the AHL. That being said...he probably will.

Well he didn't explicitly say it did he!?!?He says AHL is the best place for him and the fastest way to NHL. He does not explicitly state that he'll stay in the AHL. That being said...he probably will.
Guess you'll just have to buy the book to find out!!
I agree. Most of all, he needs to adjust his game to the smaller rink. Otherwise he'll become another Teemu Pulkkinen.
