Jokiharju has 4+7 points in 8 games for the Portland Winterhawks. That's an impressive start for a d-man.

Sounds like he'll do well on the team that trades for Seabrook.

Looking at Jokiharju's great stats, I saw Kale Clague (a Wheat Kings d-man) has 10+11=21pts in 10 games. That's like men against boys quality scoring there for a d-man.
And the sad thing is, Clague was picked #51 in 2016. Hawks had pick #50, and went with a small Russian winger who played 4 games last season. He has 11 games this season (the KHL season started in August, so he's been a healthy scratch over half the time). His stat line? 0+0.
But that's just looking at numbers. Maybe Kayumov is like a super stud Selke Trophy penalty killer (who gets scratched half the time?), and Clague can't play defense. I'll wait and see if they make it to the NHL, but it doesn't look good for Stan right now.

Is Radovan Bondra a lost cause? I see he's in the ECHL. If so, it's a shame. I remember he looked really good in that one training camp (a year ago?). And a 6'5" 220+lbs winger called Bondra sounds like a wet dream.

He's only 20 so I don't think you can completely write him off yet. And it was either the ECHL or going back to juniors, he'll probably learn more in the ECHL then being an overager.
I still hope he can figure out everything, but he was a 5th round pick, so it isn't like anyone thought he'd be a slam dunk.

Sometimes the E is simply for more ice time. Ideally yes he would get that at the Rock, but if the team is doing well And he's not fitting a specific role I can see him going there for 18 min a game as opposed to 6 min im the rock or being a scratch most nights.
Too young to write off just yet.

Guys with an option of back to juniors or off to the minors almost always play in the A
That is not a good sign.

Like it's been stated, nothing to gain by playing against a bunch of 17/18 year olds as a 20 year old. I know Jim prefers a large age difference, but that's for a different reason.

Icehogs are kicking ass and taking names. All hail, Stan Bowman! I think Stan has a calling as an AHL executive.
