Oregon.Duck Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Whats the deal with Pokka? Seems like for a young D-man, he's doing well stats wise in the AHL. Why'd they sell him so low when they could've just picked up DiDomenico gratis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why'd they sell him so low when they could've just picked up DiDomenico gratis? Seems to be a victim of not the best skating and perhaps a touch of a lack of drive. Still a good prospect but he's running out of time to prove he's able to play at this level. He'll likely see more opportunity in OTT though vs CHI and as long as he's paired with a good skating partner, he's shown to have a good head for the game.

The Lock Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 12 hours ago, skolozsy2 said: 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. To be fair, if I recall correctly, they pretty much gave up Cam Barker to get Nick Leddy, so it's not like they paid much to get him in the first place (albeit they did use a 1st round pick to pick Barker in the first place).
