So long, Olli. We'll always have the memories.

 

[freer]

A free pick, I guess it is not a bad thing

 

[Highlander]

But will he take his flying waffles with him?

 

[Boston Leaf]

We didn't have to eat salary did we?

OK, that was funny.

No.

Pick is a conditional 6th round pick.

Conditional 6th - becomes a 4th in 2015 if STL reaches finals?

The conditional pick in Olli Jokinen deal could become a 4th-rounder if #stlblues reach Stanley Cup and he plays. #NHLTrade

"plays a role in it?"

That's awful subjective, isn't it?

Probably just means he plays in a game.  So 6th rounder it is.

I would imagine that it's spelt out more clearly in the actual trade. Probably just has to play a game in the finals.

"plays a role in it?"

That's awful subjective, isn't it?

He holds the locker room door open as the players file past?  He walks their dogs during away playoff games? 

 

[Stickytape]

Hey, I'll take it. Gives me another team to cheer for during the playoffs, too.

And I'm glad Jokinen is playoff-bound.

LOL

 

[Chris]

Probably about as good as could be expected.

 

[Peter D.]

Gives Olli another crack at the playoffs.  Good luck to him.
