Report: Tukonen going home if...

[Dakkster]

Swedish hockey site Hockeysverige.se reports that Lauri Tukonen will go home to play in Finland if he doesn\'t get a spot on Dallas\' NHL squad out of camp.

[angus]

hah! Good luck with that one. Dallas\' wingers:

Morrow, Lehtinen, Eriksson, Brunnstrom, Ott, Avery, Lundqvist, and he would have to beat out Barch/Sawada/other for the final spot.

[fzusher]

Sentium just beat me to the punch, though I was going to say that since I don\'t know Finnish, i don\'t know if this is conditioned on how he does in camp or not.

The report I found was from the Ilves website. Don\'t know if it confirms the Hockeysverige report about the signing being conditional.

I ran that through a Finnish to English online translator and came up with this

Laitahyökkääjä Lauri Occlusion hand incipient kaudella Ilveksessä , unless may site NHL - society Dallas Start joukkueesta september harjoitusleirillä. Occlusion NHL - inequitable devoting Dallas is myöntänyt Tukoselle peliluvan Ilvekseen. Occlusion is 188- centimetre and kiloinen hand , whose NHL - society Los Angeles Kings thief ensimmäisellä kierroksella lamb 2004. Hyvinkäältä lähtöisin oleva Occlusion täyttää 22 skin earliest eclipse 1. päivänä. Hän plug accurate. Occlusion is pelannut last three via Los Angeles Kingsin set-up. Hänellä is beyond five NHL - skirmish sekä amply 180 skirmish AHL - league Manchester Monarchsin joukkueessa. Past kaudella Occlusion iski Monarchsissa 62 skirmish act 92635+=. Everywhere Occlusion is AHL ottelussaan tehnyt pisteitä 3667103+=. Ilveksen and Occlusion pact meet earliest kauden. Pasi Järvinen join Ilveksessä Lynx is myös tehnyt earliest kauden capping sopimuksen test averaging advocate Pasi Järvisen too. Ilveksen urheilujohtaja Juha Tomb speak että Järvinen is claim those odotukset , which Lynx häneen pitch. Hän is pelannut much harjoitusotteluissa and can gamble omilla vahvuuksillaan. Järvinen is hyvän level liigapakki , whose stylistic concert much tämän hetken Ilvekseen , rate Tomb.

I don\'t know Finnish, but those first few lines seems to indicate that there can be an out clause of some kind.

I once had high hopes for Lauri after he was a first round pick for the Kings. Now I doubt if he will ever play a season in the NHL.

[Dobber]

See you in Finland Lauri!

[His Dudeness]

He\'s even behind Chris Conner!

[fzusher]

Hey, hey, I own Chris Conner :laugh:

[pampatus]

Tukonen has signed a one year contract with Tampere Ilves with a permission from Dallas Stars organization.

If he gets a spot after training camp he will play in North-America. If he doesn\'t get a spot he\'ll play in Ilves atleast for a one season.

That\'s my simplified translation from the finnish text B)
