    Default [rumor] Oli Jokinen to goto KHL

    Who is Dynamo Minsk? I know Dynamo in Moscow folded (still very saddened by that news).

    Either way, Jokinen to the KHL would be a shame. He went from pretty consistent 90 point player to waiver wire quality guy with a humongo contract in no time.

    Wasn't this rumour been denied a week or two ago?? Anyway, I totally agree with Dub on this one. I can't believe the downward spiral Jokinen been since a few years.

    My best free agent pick-up of all time, when he played in florida, had a great 5 year run with him. Can't believe he has fallen so far.

    The KHL is the best place for aging veterans who can't get the big contract they want in the NHL because they just don't have it anymore...let him go and let some kid who is willing to take less money and contribute more take his place.

    I still don't understand (if this is indeed true) why Olli wouldn't wait until July 1st to see if any reasonable offers ($4mil) come from any teams. This is why I don't see the rumour being true.

    someone with a need for center depth could easily throw 4 mil at olli jokinen. Ideally, no one would want to but he should be able to get 3-4.
