The Penguins aren’t done. Even after landing big fish Jarome Iginla, they just made another move. Pittsburgh gets forward Jussi Jokinen from Carolina for a conditional pick. Jokinen could’ve been claimed for free last week. But nobody wanted to pick up his salary. He has a year left and is due $3 million.
Jokinen has six goals and five assists for 11 points in 33 games this season for the Hurricanes. Once a top six forward, his role has diminished with the additions of Jordan Staal and Alex Semin. Plus the emergence of Jiri Tlusty made him expendable. Jokinen just turned 30. So, he’s not old by any stretch. Going to the Pens should give him a jolt. This is a guy who’s scored big goals. A solid addition for GM Ray Shero.
