Eric Duhatschek at Globe and Mail says Olli Jokinen may end up in the KHL next season..."Jokinen was a $5-million player; after wearing out his welcome in the four corners of North America (Florida, Phoenix, Calgary, New York), it is hard to imagine anyone signing him for any amount of money."
...not only did Jokinen help get Kotalik and his $3 million per year contract out of New York he brought Brandon Prust with him from Calgary. I'd say his stay in New York was very successful. You know, minus that whole keeping the Rangers out of the playoffs by choking in the shootout thing.

hey now, lets see what our draft pick ends up like! maybe he did us another favor...
i think we have about 8-9 million freed up for the off season? could be wrong...rosival and drurys cap hits go down this year im pretty sure..
no, their hits don't go down. In fact, Drury is making the bulk of his salary this year. Cap numbers don't go down, otherwise it would be yet another loop in the CBA. But yeah, Jokinen shouldn't come back, he was inconsistent and overly flashy. There were several instances where he tried making the extra move instead of burying it during his tenure and didn't end up scoring....take the shootout for example.
