I agree with Joe: GOOD RIDDANCE. Quite frankly, I wish that most of the Eurotrash players would stay in Europe. With few exceptions, Europeans are not a good fit in the NHL. The North American physical game (superior, IMHO, to the European soccer-style “Disney-on-Ice” style that European trash just seem to love)deons’t need Russians, Norwegians, Sweeds, and the rest. The KHL is where these players should play. Ollie, I wish you luck there, and I hope that more Eurotrash players like you will follow.

Hey Derek, No need to be too literal here. The point is that Jokinen has gradually been exposed over the course of playing for 4 teams in the past 6 years (Phoenix, Florida, Calgary and NYR, have I left one out?). He’s selfish, offense-only, seldom plays 2-way hockey, doesn’t show up on the road and is not good for team chemistry.
Care to add anything Derek?

I know youre a little sensitive to criticism, but what would help is some research.
“He’s bounced around from team to team nearly every trade deadline”
Every trade deadline? You mean ONE trade deadline?
