Jussi Jokinen on waivers.....alwaysnkinda liked him. Anyone else take a flyer on him?

Meh.

Very streaky player.
Only scored 20 goals once.
Seams to need to play on a line with talented players to have a chance.
Signed for 1 more year at a 3mil cap hit.

i think he would make a pretty great 3rd line center for us. he's got this year and next year at 3 million. he plays with an edge and can score. i wonder what carolina is up to...

It is partially salary and partially his horrible play this year so far.

I agree with the meh, but it's not the worst idea for a one year stop gap, especially considering what is available as a free agent.

A line of him, Ott, and Leino might be OK?

he would add to our long list of overpaid players.. he would be a decent addition at about a mil less.. i would think someone who has no cap worries other than the floor might pick him pu

yeah the lockout has made it so i don't know the league all that well this year. i wasn't really paying attention to him this year. i basically have no idea what the west is up to since we don't play them anymore.

Honestly it gets more depressing as each day goes by. We keep winning with a team everyone hates and our dreams of a Mackinnon, Jones or Drouin are going right out the door. Plus the fact we have a GM that we know won't make the aggressive changes this organization needs. Going to be a rough rest of the season that is for sure.

"Stafford and a D (Leopold) can fetch a top six forward and a draft choice."

*snort* Ooooooh-Kaaaaaay.


This must be based on all of Garths past experience as an NHL GM.

wow Jokinen had a 30 goal 65 point season in 2009-2010

would not mind picking up a flyer on him....nothing to lose really. Does he make a better 3rd line center than Porter and Hecht?

Maybe a change in scenery will help with his game???

That sounds EXACTLY like Stafford, but a Center.

Ott-Jokinen-Leino (if they don't buy him out) doesn't sound too terrible.
That line could be very effective.

isn't Jokenin a shoot out specialist , just what every team needs for a long playoff run...

Carolina probably waived him to make room for someone who can actually help them in the playoffs

I thought he had played quite a bit of 3rd line center for Carolina?

The only way it works is if they shed the big 3, which is what everyone has been suggesting.

Two pages of Garth slams and we are just getting started.

You would think by now we would realize THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS!!!

Dude gets paid for activity on his blog and bringing hits to the website.

He does this better than anyone on this site. If you want good journalism than support good journalism.

female doging about Garth blogs for pages and pages merely reinforces the bullpoop blogs because they get massive hits just from people crying about them.

- Putzfrau


The comment section on Garth blogs are hilarious. He deserves to make a few bucks for this.
