Guile Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Huh... the next domino? DiDomenico kinda came out of nowhere (as far as I know) with the Sens this season, and I believe Pokka was/still might be a decent D prospect - smaller, smooth puck mover type?

RRypien37 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Woah can't believe its been almost 6 years since Pokka was drafted. He had a lot of hype behind him on these boards a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Pokka wow lol. He was so highly praised just a few short years ago. I do not even know the other guy coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Maybe Pokka just needs a change of scenery and a fresh start. He never really got a chance in CHI, but he will in OTT. Good move Sens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jester13 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Pokka? I hardly know him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 i guess Pokka's skating didn't improve enough to Chicago's liking (and style) but I like him - like the deal for Ottawa (and that doesn't happen often lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Kind of deal we should look for. A project Dman. Hopefully we are holding out for a better quality project though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaMash Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Every time Ottawa makes a trade I try and figure out how many real dollars it saves Eugene. That's all I can think about, even when it's a trade this small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTT loses a lot of money, they didn't sell out 2nd round playoff games last year. Its unreasonable to expect an owner to continue to lose millions out of his pocket and not shed some salary.

Ottawa is a disaster in general, you won't get any argument out of me in that regard. Everything from the top to the bottom has issues. And it's all amplified by how horrible their arena location is.

ArkDepot Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Quote OTT acquire Ville Pokka from CHI for Chris DiDomenico a weird dance for a cheap frozen pizza ? #fairtrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amplified0ne Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 DiDomenico was pretty decent at the 2009 WJC if I remember. Taken a while to figure it out but will probably be a depth guy at the NHL level a tweener now AHL/NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skolozsy2 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Pokka was never going to be part of the Blackhawks plans, which is unfortunate, because that's who they got in the Nick Leddy trade. So they pretty much lost Leddy for nothing. Not sure why Ottawa didn't grab Pokka in September when the Hawks waived him, so I guess it's good on the Hawks that they at least got something for him.
