Didn't realize he's only played in the playoffs 1 time in his 16 years in the league....

Other than that I'm not really sure what to make of this trade. It's a weird fit.

Just a clarification on the pick we gave up: 6th round pick, could be 4th if the Blues reach cup finals.

I'm not sure I understand this move, unless the idea is to have some experience in case of injury...or unless another move is coming. But we keep saying that after each move today... just waiting for the bigger move to be made.

Jokinen's cap hit is: $753k.
Toronto isn't picking up any of the salary.

They are about 10 years late getting this guy... he was scoring more goals than any of our current forwards back then...but not so much now, lol.

I'm just not sure. I don't think it's going to be a huge move, but I feel like the team has one more in them (Berglund maybe?). Overall today though, we're strengthening the bottom half of our roster with vets and grit (trade deadline buzzwords!) and we have only give up one roster player (Cole) so far to do it. It's not splashy but it's also not a bad thing either.

Only thing I can think of is that he played with Nashville this year and maybe has insider information we want?

From ESPN live chat:
Cory


Can anyone give me a good reason why the Blues picked up Jokinen.

Yup. Depth centerman move to get someone better than Lindstrom. Blues were undoubtedly going to be dumping the salary no matter what at the end of the season so might as well upgrade a bit. Nothing more complicated than that going on here.
