I think Jukka had an ok season overall, maybe a bit lower than expectations. He starting building towards more of a two-way player, and as a result, saw a minor increase in takeaways this season compared to last, but a significant 32 more shots blocked, good for a 50% increase compared to the season before. Notably, his giveaways also decreased by 10 this season, despite playing over 5 more minutes a game. However, offensively he struggled a bit. It was a tremendously slow start, as all his offseason training went towards improving his defensive play due to facing harder opposition on the 1st pairing. But his offense starting clicking around the halfway mark, and Jukka ended up with 36 points, 34 of which were at even strength. The biggest culprit for the slight decrease in offensive production was lower ppTOI and his shooting percentage decreasing from 12.23% to 4.12%. The advanced stats support calling it an 'okay' season, as his presence on the ice was overall slightly positive: netting a 3.2 to 2.7 goals for/against ratio, 54%, and similarly a 53.3% corsi ratio. Not too bad for only ~1400 TPE against the league's top lines, but I think there's room to improve on all aspects of the puck. The offseason will be focused back a little more offensively, as he would like to mold into a playmaking/quarterback defender, and hopefully a boost in possession and scoring percentages will come of it.
Sigs: Thanks JNH, Lime, Carpy, and ckroyal92
