Shocked that no one has mentioned this pickup. He is a fast, playmaking winger which is one thing we needed. Now if we can get a stay at home, hard hitting defenseman we should be decent.

And not trying to throw anyone under the bus, but how is it that the mod of this forum never starts gameday threads, or posts up any news of any kind regarding the team?

I love this trade. We gave away an enforcer that never wins a fight, and a defenseman that's really not very good. The only thing we really gave away of any value was a 4th round pick.

Yeah but we have been drafting very well and have found a lot of value in the 3rd/4th/5th rounds which kind of worries me a little but Jussi is worth a 4th rounder to me.

The reason I really love this trade is Jokinen gives us immediate help on our 3rd line, and has the potential to be a 1st liner in the future. He's still pretty young, and he's got a lot of potential. He didn't really work out in Tampa Bay, but not many people really have recently.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
