Crzydrvr Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Per TSN's Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger2 year deal, $9mil for Jokinen in Wpg. $4.5 aav Damn, if it's at that price and at that length, why couldn't we get him? Best of luck to Olli. Except when he plays the Flames of course. Fantastic deal for the Jets, considering what has passed for market value these days.

If he's asking for 4.5 M for two years, we could easily just resign him and ignore Hudler while shuffling Cervenka over to the wing. But I guess Feaster really wanted that Czech.

Wreckening Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Good luck in the Peg Joker! Unfortunate he really didn't mesh well with the Flames and the "experiment part 2" is now over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerfan52 Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Good luck in the Peg Joker! Unfortunate he really didn't mesh well with the Flames and the "experiment part 2" is now over. Experiment Part 3 is about to start. We have 3 wingers we hope to convert into top 2 centers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Don Posted July 3, 2012 Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Rather have Jokinen even @ 4.5 over Hudler @ 4.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker was hoped to be our 1st line center the first time he came here but not when he came back. He has been our #2 center since the Glenny-Joker-Moss(OMG Line) line was put together to check the opp's best lines.. At 3mil he was a steal for us and I don't see 4.5m/year as overpayment for what he brought to us last season. 60 pt forwards are not cheap let alone large 2-way 60 pt centers.

This is probably the worst news possible for us this off season. Unless Feaster somehow has a way to land a #1 offensive C and a #2 2 way C both with some size and grit. Yeah .... yeah it was the worst possible news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
