It's probably safe to say Jyrki Jokipakka wasn't on many people in Calgary's minds back in October. The likelihood of Kris Russell - an upcoming unrestricted free agent - being traded from a rebuilding team was high; but to which team, and what kind of return he would garner? That was unknown.
In exchange for Russell, the Flames got a package consisting of a pick, a prospect, and an NHL-ready defenceman four years younger. His name is Kevin, and hopefully, he finds a new home up here.
Season summary
Jokipakka spent the first half of the 2015-16 season playing for Dallas.
