One of the top-signings this ofseason if we are going by names and CV. It will remain to be seen will Hagman still be a quality player on the ice as well.

Nybondas has kept his word about signings

Salmelainen seems to be past his due date and has also had injury woes lately as well. Hasn't exactly lit the lamp in Switzerland.

 

[Tormentor]

Raksila

It's a bit overboard even for SM-liiga, but it won't look quite as bad once they ice the rink. A layer of ice will fade the colors noticeably.

 

[FiLe]

Yeah, this is what it will look like once its got few layers of ice over it. Look at the shades of those Bauhaus tags and ask yourself if you really find them intrusive.

Okay, maybe there'll be a little more light pink than earlier, but still not much of an issue, really. As usual, the jerseys will likely be the real eyesore.

Yep both players prime years are behind them.

Raksila

Spot the ad that kinda looks like a penis from this angle..

I'd much rather have lots of ads instead of commercial breaks in play.

 

[teddygmr]

where will Juhamati Altonen play this season?
There were rumors several weeks ago about him signing in Dallas or some other NHL team but nothing lately....
Thanks in advance!

Aleksi Valavuori @Valavuori 3m Hykertelen ja odottelen @jokerithc tiedotustilaisuutta klo 17. Pirun vaikeaa pitää turpaa kiinni, mutta pidetään. Fantastinen kausi luvassa.

@EHTuominen: Tänään tosiaan tärähtää Hartwall-areenalta niin sanotusti pommien pommi. Kiekkokansa sekoaa. #jokerit #smliiga


edit. Jere Karalahti and Janne Lahti to Jokerit.

[Finnpin]

It's nice to see Janne Lahti back.

Jokerit still needs centre, a goalie and a GM.

Don't like Karalahti signing, but I can live with it.

 

[vsk92]

Jokerit don't make it easy on themselves right now wonder what the fans who didnt want him have to say especially since the club has already said he wouldn't be signed

[Finnpin]

Jokerit just got even more physical with these 2 signings. A. Tyrväinen, Ruutu, Ben-Amor and Karalahti: I hope their PK will work well.

Any rumors where he´s heading? TPS? Lukko? Some other country?

Considering he just found out yesterday, not yet.

That's one ****** situation right there for Nordlund. Most teams have already filled their rosters by now. Of course chances are that some foreign defensemen get the boot/leave on their own accord within a few weeks of the season openers, but he may not find a new team immediately.

 

[FiLe]

Quite the contrary, methinks. Jokerit must still pay him, after all. It's a win-win for both the player and his new team. Any club can offer him a contract for peanuts and he gets to consider the offers purely on the grounds of getting the best package providing a big role and decent chance of success.

But who has the space for him currently? If he doesn't want to move, the most feasible options would be HIFK (not gonna happen) and Blues (who may have the space but no money and little chance of success). The next choices geographically would be Pelicans or HPK.

 

[Finnpin]

Pre-season or early regular season injuries will hit every team and I'm sure they'll find a new place for Nordlund. Obviously Jokerit has to pay some part of the salary but I don't think they'll let him go for "peanuts".
