Some time ago we speculated that if BG could/should sing Olli Jokinen from free agent markets or trade him before deadline. Here is little foretaste what it takes to trade him or sing from free agent markets, I said that BG donīt have that much money that is needed to sing OJ and Habs donīt have suitable guys if BG is thinking trading him to Habs. I still think so, because I donīt see trade happening with Ribs+ 1st round pick or Pleks+ 1st rounder

Olli Jokinen is the marquee name on the market, a big Blue could change that on a whim though, and if the Leafs are going to get value in return, Tucker might be the one to go. Hot n' Not, Farm Report, Junior Report, Varsity Report and the best in quotes, Chirping, in this week's edition of TSN.ca's Backchecking.


AROUND THE RINKS
- The National Post notes that, should the Ottawa Senators still have plans to acquire Panthers C
Olli Jokinen, then they will likely have to surrender a young player off their roster along with a high draft pick. Does that sound like Antoine Vermette and a first-round pick? Calgary has also been mentioned as a potential suitor for Jokinen. Would Matthew Lombardi and a number one pick be enough? Jokinen has turned down a four-year, $16-million offer from the Panthers and, in light of the three-year, $14-million-plus contract signed by Saku Koivu, Jokinen can expect more than that on the open market.
