Did your father in law warm up to you? Or will Jokipakka hate the Flames forever?

Not that it matters, but why isn't the pick being labeled as a conditional 1st?

His father in law went for a walk one night and was never seen again.

Give the kid a break. It's not an insult directed at the Flames at all.

Totally agree. He's disappointed about being traded away from Dallas, not being traded to Calgary.
Trades are hard, especially on young lads. He probably reads it as him not being deemed good or important enough for the Stars and feels down because of that, which again is fair enough. If I was in his shoes, I'd be feeling pretty gutted as well. Stupid(but predictable) of the media to jump all over him, feel for him.

I couldn't be more calm. When you don't feel the need to grossly overreact to comments without context, it's a pretty relaxed state.

It's a 2nd round pick, where if certain conditions are met its changed. Thus a conditional 2nd.

Living in Texas and watching Stars games live over the last few years, I've had my eye on Jokipakka ever since he made the show, and the kid is an absolute beauty.
I would have considered this trade a clear win for the Flames even if we just got him straight across for Russel.
Super happy with how this has played out (assuming it all plays out).

He didn't even say he's mad!
All he said, immediately after finding out his life is getting uprooted and he's moving to one of the worst teams in the league, was that it felt empty. To me that seems like the exact reaction every person would have in that situation. Just a blow to the chest.
Any chance he plays tonight?

Saw some people saying if the condition is met, this is a better return than the Iginla/Bouwmeester trades.
It already is. Both players in this deal are better assets than any combination of Berra, Cundari, Hanowski and Agostino.
And Bouwmeester had a year left on his deal, which should have increased his value (see Yandle/Coburn returns last year for reference)

Which NHL player wanted his teammates to call him "John" because it was easier to pronounce than his real name?

How is Kevin easier than Jyrki?
If anything, Jyrki would be easy to remember.
