"But the bigger surprise is Jokiharju getting dealt, although perhaps it shouldn't have been because the math suggested somebody from the blue line was eventually going to be moved.

Not every player can do that, but he has the skill level to play on the off wing. It was a questionable decision at the time and has become more questionable today. Jokiharju has appeared in every game this season for Buffalo and averaged a sizable 16:37 per game, proving himself as a reliable player while the Sabres’ supposed top two defensemen (Rasmus Ristolainen and Rasmus Dahlin) struggle.And Nylander — unable to permanently crack the Sabres’ bottom-tier roster the last three seasons — has played in 19 of 20 games for the Hawks, doubling his game total from the last three years, and averaged 12:53 per game.“He’s playing very well,” coach Jeremy Colliton said Sunday. The trade was initially roundly criticized by the Blackhawks’ fanbase and neutral analysts alike, but it has actually worked out well for both the Hawks and Sabres.In an offseason of otherwise popular moves with the fan base, Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman immediately took a lot of flak for the trade that sent Henri Jokiharju to the Sabres for Alex Nylander.Four months later, the one-for-one swap has turned out better than expected for the Hawks — and just as good as expected for the Sabres.

Blackhawks swap prospects with Sabres, trade Henri Jokiharju By Charlie Roumeliotis July 09, 2019 3:15 PM The Blackhawks have had a busy offseason so far, and that continued on Tuesday when the team announced that they traded defenseman prospect Henri Jokiharju to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for forward prospect Alex Nylander.

Henri Jokiharju was traded to the Buffalo Sabres by the Chicago Blackhawks for forward Alexander Nylander on Tuesday.

Henri Jokiharju was highly regarded by the Blackhawks last summer and for the beginning of the 2018–19 season, but failed to maintain the level of play head coach Jeremy Colliton was looking for following his stint with the gold-medal-winning Finnish World Junior team.. Jokiharu is a former first round pick (29th overall) of the Blackhawks in 2017 and had 12 assists in 38 NHL games.
