Yeah I like Nakladal a lot. He came in a fit in pretty much seamlessly. It's all the more impressive that he does things in the offensive zone out there, isn't afraid to pinch on plays, has a bomb of a shot that he's not afraid to use, and shows some creativity.
My hope for Jokipakka is that since his game isn't offence, he can work on getting the details in the defensive side of the game down and use his body to be a solid 3rd pairing shutdown guy. That's the presence we need, as we have enough offence from the blue line as it is.
