Carolina Hurricanes Trade Deadline (Canes Trade Jokinen)


Recommended Posts

Carolina Receives: Conditional Draft Pick

Pittsburgh Receives: Jussi Jokinen

Note: Carolina has to eat some of Jokinen's salary (most likely this years salary, the Pens however will have to pay his salary for next season or buy him out).

Draft Pick Condition: If Jokinen plays in 25% of Pittsburgh's playoff games and the Penguins reach the Stanley Cup Finals, the Canes will receive a 7th round pick. If Jokinen plays in 50% of Pittsburgh's playoff games and the Penguins win the Stanley Cup; the Canes will receive a 6th round pick. If neither of these things happen, the Canes will not receive the draft pick.

We thank Jussi for his great service to our organization during the last five years.

Jeff Skinner - Jordan Staal - Tuomo Ruutu

Drayson Bowman - Riley Nash - Chris Terry

Chad LaRose - Tim Brent - Kevin Westgarth

Tim Wallace

Jay Harrison - Justin Faulk

Tim Gleason - Joe Corvo

Marc-Andre Bergeron - Brett Bellemore

Jamie McBain

Cam Ward

    • 99% of my complaints generally are front office complaints.  It may not appear that way always but that's where I have been for some time.   It's also why I constantly talk about random parts the last several years....  to this day, if they were going to draft Bryce Young....I thought they needed to do specific things.   They have literally done the opposite.   In a certain world, I would LOVE an AT.  A Bryce Young.  An XL.  All sorts of people.  How they have chosen to put it all together here? Meh.  I still think if Bryce Young is your QB....the easiest and obvious play for a team....would be a dynamic slot WR, a rec RB, and solid rec TE.  Spread it out.  Let him be the point guard.  I still think this team is being built for a different type QB....one that a Jake Delhomme style QB would thrive more in.  Which is in fact the heart of what Canales has been around and done.  So I nitpick it all.  If I had thought Bryce Young was going to rebound....I would have NEVER been all in on XL like I was.  I was all in XL because I thought the BY experiment was about to over quick.  Ladd would have made way more sense if you believed in BY IMO.   I don't think this team did.  I think Dave drafted XL because they were mentally ready to move on and did after 2 weeks.  and I thought the Frank think was bologna from the jump.  I just have hate the pairings and plan every since Rhule year 1.   Rhule year 1 was the last time I really thought this team was in a good place to give it a go.  It went horribly.  But....the zoomed out plan was pretty logical all around.  Rhule just was not ready and a clown on top of that.   I still think the Dave, BY, XL, Tmac build 3 round pegs and a square one at the end of the day.  Worst thing to happen to BY was to land in Carolina IMO.   Which is often how the NFL plays out.  Where you land and what the org does matters probably more than raw talent/ability often.  I do not actually have a problem with Adam Thielen in a vacuum.  He is overperforming in a vacuum all things considered.  
    • Bryce Young could throw for 40 tds and 4500 yards this season and my gut instinct still says you would triple down on hating him.
    • They should just be predetermined slotted contracts.  I feel like that was the intention of the current system, but they left too much room for interpretation about guaranteed money.  I agree though.  You play for who drafts you or you don't play.
