@StevenToddIves prospect report pls

 

[Darkauron]

what year is the pick grrrrrrrr! and the conditionssss

 

[NJDevils17]

Happy with this return. Feels like best case scenario with the injury.

 

[Forge]

That had to be the most predictable deal ever, I swear. From the package received, even the prospect received, to when it happened during the deadline day, and eventually to the team he was traded to.

When you have to pronounce Kuokkanen

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

I wish we could of got Jake Bean in this deal. I would of done a 1 for 1 swap without the pick.

 

[Satans Hockey]

I'm glad we got rid of Sami, he's tissue paper soft.

Janne Kuokkanen Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com

His AHL numbers are pretty strong.

 

[Darkauron]

And he is an ahl allstar too. I like it.

 

[Azathoth]

I believe he is 19th in ahl scoring as a 21 year old so not too bad.

 

[Billdo]

I'm more interested in hearing the conditions on the 2nd at this point.

 

[Bologna 1]

kuokkanen is a solid prospect. probably ready to make the jump sooner rather than later, or at least get a look at the NHL level. Maybe can develop into a 3C?

I was just about to post the best part of the deal is going to be Steve and Dano trying to pronounce his name.

Kuo is a great pick up for Binghamton right now too as they push for the playoffs

 

[Better Call Sal]

Hm, Friedman reporting differently.

 

[Forge]

I wish we could of got Jake Bean in this deal. I would of done a 1 for 1 swap without the pick.

Jake Bean is a legit top 50ish prospect. Would have taken a lot more. That would have been an option for Palms.

 

[Nubmer6]

Wait... new report:


Who to trust?

 

[NJDevils17]

Did Bob get the trade wrong?

 

[NjDevsRR]

For what its worth, there are quite a few Hurricane fans bummed about losing Kuokkanen.

I also love the Finn for Finn trade. Lets draft a Finn with that pick.

 

[Darkauron]

oh ffs. It better not be a 4th

 

[NjDevsRR]

Ah. Claesson is a nothing burger.

 

[NJDevils17]

Dang that kinda sucks if it’s not a 2nd but I still don’t hate it too much.
