Lots of transactions to finish out the year…
(12/31/25) CHP trades H. Jokiharju to GEO for E. Robinson
Millers needed some additional depth in D with LaCombe injured, so they hooked up with constant trade partner Chippewa to land the 26 year-old Finn. To this stage in his career Jokiharju’s production has not nearly met what his toolkit projected and at this point he’s a bottom-pair type or extra defenseman. He is mobile, disciplined and can make a decent first pass. Signed for another couple of years he’ll move in and out of the lineup as needed.
Robinson was a free-agent flyer from last year who could not hold onto a 4th line role in 15 games this season.
(12/31/25) GEO trades T.Moore to AMO for Mikhail Abramov-p
A simple salary dump, as Moore could not replicate his success of last season and had fallen down, if not completely off, the team’s forward depth chart as the season progressed. Abramov went back to the KHL last season and is unlikely to resurface in North America.
(12/31/25) GEO signs T. Novak to a 2 yr, $3.5M contract
Signed as potential depth scoring for next season, Novak is generally good for 30 to 40 points a year, although he brings nothing to the table defensively. Depending on the direction the team goes in 25-26 Novak could be a regular in the bottom 6.
(12/31/25) GEO waives M. Joseph
Joseph hadn’t played since being tossed out of a game in the early part of the season. His lack of offense wasn’t enough to overcome his physical assets on this goal starved team, and with no role in the offing for next year, the Millers decided to go ahead and eat the last 1.5 years of his contract.
