Preds wise to leave Jokinen, Gratton for other teams to claim
Sometimes it’s a good thing when a rumored trade doesn’t go down. If you’re disappointed that Phil Kessel wound up in Toronto instead of Nashville, be glad that Olli Jokinen wound up in a Flames jersey rather than a Preds sweater.
Jokinen, who was rumored to be headed to Nashville a few times as the trade deadline loomed in past seasons, was traded yesterday to the New York Rangers. Nothing about Jokinen’s time in Alberta makes me think the Preds missed out when he didn’t end up on their roster. The same can be said for longtime rumor-mill suspect Chris Gratton.
