  1. 1. Which of these best describes what you think the Sabres will get from Jokiharju this year?

    • He's going to take a big step and emerge as Buffalo's #2 and a very good NHL top 4 defenceman
      12
    • A solid season where he gets a lot of ice time and doesn't shine, but doesn't look out of place either
      16
    • He's going to be leaned on a lot early but won't be up to the task and will fall out of the top 4

I think comparisons to Teppo are more than a bit overstated.  Even if we are just talking playing style, Teppos intelligence and elite level skating were the backbone of his game.  Joki simply doesn’t have that level of tool in his toolbox.

A while back I was listening to an Instigator Show where the hosts talked about how good he was and how little recognition he got. I went back and watched a number of his clips. His play was remarkably clean and efficient. I just didn't realize how good he is. After watching the clips I do now. 

I'm not suggesting that Joki will be as good as Teppo. But from a stylistic standpoint there are similarities. Where I somewhat disagree with you is that I think that Joki has more upside to draw from than others do.
