How much do pouliot and jokinen get on the open market? Think flyers can afford them both? Would definitely sure up the left side.

Jussi Jokinen ($3.500m) / Claude Giroux ($8.275m) / Jakub Voracek ($4.250m)
Scott Hartnell ($4.750m) / Brayden Schenn ($2.250m) / Wayne Simmonds ($3.975m)
Benoit Pouliot ($1.800m) / Sean Couturier ($1.750m) / Matt Read ($3.625m)
Michael Raffl ($1.100m) / Scott Laughton ($0.863m) / Adam Hall ($0.600m)
Jay Rosehill ($0.675m) / Zac Rinaldo ($0.750m) /

Komarov would be a solid add. Adding guys like him and Jokinen would add missing elements to the forward group IMO. Problem then is that it's crowded, but were likely looking at moving a body or two anyway.

Yeah Crosby's body language influencing ownership disturbs me...

I would be VERY interested in Jussi Jokinen. Very, very versatile, jack of all trades kind of player. Can play center if need be and is pretty good at face-offs, but ideally I see him on Giroux's line as well.

If were going to sign a FA forward, I'm all for signing him. The rest of the roster should be filled out via FA or trades.

- mochoson



jokinen would be a good pick up just to improve the teams chances in a shootout. i believe he has at least a 40% lifetime conversion rate.
