OLLI JOKENEN to AZ?

Question

WHAT? i didnt see that comming... or maybe its just i pay only attention to the Caps.

Answer 1

Well, looks like the Panthers got what they wanted in a puck moving defensemen with Ballard.  That was their priority.

Answer 2

Went from a c**p team to a crappier team

Answer 3

Nice, can't ask for more than having another team's captain  join your team.

Answer 4

yup- done. good move for Yotes!

Answer 5

I think that pheonix is going to the playoffs next year, but the deal was good on both ends

Answer 6

goin' to phoenix to wallow in mediocrity.

some say, anyway.

Answer 7

this oughta help both teams. major coup for the Yotes, i can already see a top line of Doan - Jokinen - Mueller tearing it up ..

Answer 8

yea im a little bit suprised but i knew jokinen wasnt staying with florida.  I knew the caps were gonna pick Anton i just am not sure about it

Answer 9

I am a Panthers fan. Olli has been on the trading block for the past season and a half. It is not surprising he went. Good luck Olli. I am happy with what they got in return

Answer 10

I dont like that trade if I am a Panthers fan... they could have got a lot more I think.

PHX made off pretty decent. They need to sign a Dman from Free Agency and they are starting to look like a playoff team for once!

Answer 11

I'm not surprised Jokinen was traded, I'm surprise it was to Phoenix. Boyton's not huge. I though it'd take a 1st rder

Ballard's the big thing. Good young puckmoving defenseman. One of the more underated defenseman in the NHL

Answer 12

did you hear when the comish announced it and a panthers faned yell'd out losing his mind. yeah.

it's a good trade for the coyotes, and decent enough for the panthers.

haha sam.

"I dont like that trade if I am a Panthers fan... they could have got a lot more I think. "

yeah i was thinking the same thing but i decided to keep my mouth shut about it. i don't want all the fans of teams based in places where there's more sun than snow to get on me. but for real. i'm shaking my head. it's a better deal for the coyotes and i guess martin got something.
