Player Discussion Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen (2017, 54th)

I'd really have to think hard about giving him 5 years if he insists on trade protection. It kinda screwed Boston when they did that with Ullmark and I they seem to regret it, since he's reported to have shot down at least one deal since then.

Hopefully Adams takes the same approach as he did with the Tage, Cozens and Power contracts. The three of them have very little trade protection.

Is it just that people with english as a first language has a hard time reading? Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen seems pretty straightforward. Nothing really weird with the pronounciation.

It's because we grew up playing baseball so unless you were a pitcher, you're allergic to Ks

Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is my favorite hockey name. It seems most opposing team announcers treat it as a hyphenated last name (Pekka-Luukkonen) instead of first (Ukko-Pekka).

I recently tried to help out Jimmy Murphy and Pierre McGuire with the pronunciation.
