edicius 3,269 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 With Bryz in net for the whole year and Jokinen leading the offense, I think Phoenix could surprise a lot of people this coming season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tjinaz 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 It's a good package, but I agree -- the 'yotes are easily the winners here. I wouldn't really say that. Ballard is an excellent open ice hitter and was regarded as the future captain of the Coyotes. He is a heart and soul type of player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kylee 727 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) wow....jokinen finally out of florida. good for him. at least now he wont rot there and now he can show some of his skill where it might actually matter. Edited June 20, 2008 by kylee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dabura 12,207 Report post Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) Ballard is an excellent open ice hitter and was regarded as the future captain of the Coyotes. He is a heart and soul type of player. That may be true, but Jokinen is, imo, worth more than him, Boynton and 49th overall. To put it another way, if the Wings had Jokinen, they'd have the best one-two scoring-line punch the league has seen in many, many years.

shannyfan1414 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 So who else do the panthers have that are going to fill seats for them? Are they planning on picking someone up in a big trade? Who else is left on that team now? I'm surprised by the move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 I feel like we could have matched this offer That's what I was thinking. Florida is notorious for making bad trades, but it's not like Jokinen has them going into the playoffs every year either. They're just one of those franchises that can do nothing right. But Boynton and Ballard are two guys which have so far not amounted to that much. Another bizzarre trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FLWINGSFAN4013 5 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) zetterberg gone i do not think so...also now the panthers do not have a face in the community: i live in the panther area and after luongo left olli picked up that part and now they do not really have anyone besides possibly bouwmeester to fill that role. i say the panthers may be possibly done in fl b/c they dont have a great fan base..heck i wear my wings sweater to any games i attend Edited June 21, 2008 by FLWINGSFAN4013 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted June 21, 2008 Phoenix is still going to suck, but with Bryz and Olli, they're definately findign their way out of the forest. I'd say another forward and a defenseman and they could be a contender for 8th spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say another forward and a defenseman and they could be a contender for 8th spot. Honestly, if the Coyotes had started the season with Bryz between the pipes, I wouldn't have been surprised if they sneaked into an 8th playoff seed.
