The Resume

    His tenure with the Ducks was further stalled by injuries.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was born on New Year’s Day.
    He is the son of Finnish hockey player Harri Vaakanainen.
    He earned a full-time role with JYP Jyväskylä at the age of 17.
    His sound defensive play caught the attention of NHL scouts, who touted him as a potential first round pick (which he was).
