The Olli Jokinen Appreciation Thread

[SeaOfBlue]

So we also got him. He's 36, and he used to have a bunch of skill, but he's only got 6 points in 48 games with Nashville this year. Also a UFA on a 2.5 million dollar contract. What do you think we could get for him, especially if we retain half his contract for the rest of the season? I also think seeing him not playing on the 4th line will help him out a little bit...

On a separate note, I think we finally see Panik in the top 6 full time now, and we could see a Bozak deal coming soon.

Olli Jokinen, we hardly knew ya.

He'll be traded before the Leafs next game.

 

[Daisy Jane]

well he's pissed off that he's coming here, so he'll either play like God - so he can be traded out of here, or continue to play like crap, which helps us crash and burn.

 

[Rayzorexe]

I hope he plays at least 1 game with us before we deal him at the Trade Deadline

Have you seen his stats lol

Who is going to want him

 

[gamer1035]

he is our new commander

7th round pick to a contending team.

Not that big of a deal, but important to get him off the roster asap.

Someone will. He's only a couple of seasons removed from a 60 point season and he had a decent season last year in Winterpeg.

He makes too much even with retaining cap

Salary is quite high though, I hope to pawn him off for a pick however more likely he rides out the season

 

[Raym11]

either a 6/7th or as cap hit weight in another trade just like Nashville used him. Thats my guess.



I'd rather let him play and solidify losing even more. He is one of the worst players in the NHL this year

 

[diceman934]

He may not report.....but he will be traded....Penguins would take him at trade deadline...or the Rangers.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Guy is absolutely useless. Let's just forget about him lol...

 

[diceman934]

His cap hit was 2.5M and it is now at around 800,000 for the rest of the season....lots of teams looking for depth at trade deadline....he will be easy to move.

Olli Now this gif belongs to us too (not mentioned in the trade thread):

 

[skacore]

Feel bad for the guy. At the tail end of a long, long career and he's finally on a contender then is traded just before the deadline to the Leafs

 

[yubbers]

He's just about as terrible as you can imagine.

Let's just say Olli Jokinen was less than thrilled to hear he had been traded to the Leafs.

The "Let's just say" part indicates that he is ****ing pissed.

I seriously hope we get to see him in at least one game. Epic. hahaha

 

[Once]

Im buying his jersey . If he does get flipped I don't think we will get anything, unless its to a team that wants a player who has experience and can move up and down the lineup.

 

[Mystifo]

well he's pissed off that he's coming here, so he'll either play like God - so he can be traded out of here, or continue to play like crap, which helps us crash and burn.

So what you are saying is regardless of HOW he plays us fans who want to tank win?

 

[yubbers]

Hahahaha

Angry Olli. Maybe he'll just yell at everyone in the locker room.
