Sami Vatanen

Tampa Bay confirms this deal... I hope Vatenen comes over and produces well for you Mik... as long as he doesn't get in Cam's way.

Time for THOR to smash:


Stupid leafs... I hate being a homer

[kyuss]

lol i guess you couldn't wait to post that stuff..

not too comfortable about this deal, liked Olden quite a lot and you got more potential than me here.

But Sami is already a player and i'm fan, albeit it's anyone's guess whether he will be able to translate it at the NHL level or not.

Mik?? what the F buddy

you know Vatanen signed overseas for the next 2 years....he just signed his new contract....gezzz MIk

what's wrong, do you think Olden will contribute before 2 yrs?

[The BBKL Insider]

what's wrong, do you think Olden will contribute before 2 yrs?

Nope, but i dont think Vatenen will ever be over...

but hey, your call not mine

[kyuss]

Nope, but i dont think Vatenen will ever be over...

why not..

Nope, but i dont think Vatenen will ever be over...

why not..

first he's small

second he said his 'desire is to play for a league who will give him minutes and show interest'

i have a feeling that will be the SEL or KHL

[Nick]

Sami is 19... I dunno how you've decided he won't come over... dominated WJC, solid WC, and already off to a killer start in the FNL... this was a very hard deal for me to accept, and if it wasn't for my depth in d-prospects... I would not have done it

Remember, this is the kid who broke a record for most points by a rookie defenseman in both regular season and playoffs... best offensive d-man prospect EVER out of Finland.

nick, don't blow sloppy pussy

you know he's not coming over, or you wouldn't have moved him.

[kyuss]

lol, crystal ball anyone

[Scott]

This is how you can tell we're all hockey infatuated and need to take a breath once and a while. Someone's getting bashed for trading Sondre Olden LOL

[Nick]

I disagree 100%, I think I paid more for Sami, and am confident he will come over... Olden impressed me @ rookie camp, and it turns out Norway will be playing in WJC this year, so it'll be fun to watch. Both project to begin their pro-north american careers in 2 years.


The dark horse in this deal of dark horse prospects in Godfrey.... if he ever manages to make an NHL club he'll toss up reasonable PP #'s.

wanna bet?

best offensive d-man prospect EVER out of Finland.

LOL...Easy there big boy, Joni Pitkanen is and was FAR superior to Vatanen.

[Nick]

As an all around player/prospect/dman Joni>>Sami, no doubt; but in terms of sheer offence form the back end... I disagree

Younger, Harder team to break in with, Better #'s. He doesn't have the size or the shot, or the defensive presence.

Captain of the U18
#2 overall KHL draft
Insane showing WJC
Solid showing WC
->->-> 2 years of developing, hopefully to get up to 185-190lbs in that time, and he'll come over to the Ducks, his vision, soft hands, and skating will get him a spot in the NHL + the typical high grit level that all Fin's seem to own.


Olden is a wicked prospect from a developing hockey nation... but there's no secret as to why I even know who he is -> drafted by the Leafs, watched him in rookie camp... really a shadow of what Sami has going on.

I like Sami as much as the next guy, I'm the one who originally drafted him overall, but to say he does anything better than Joni is a vast overstatement.

Joni isn't even that good defensively...So to say Vatananen is better offensively is to say that Vatanan is a better player.

Your right Steve... your inside info was a complete secret to me, and your opinion dictates what I do with my team !



or else everyone knows Vatanen signed his extension right after the WC.
