With his proven ability and impressive resume, Jokinen is expected to bring depth and experience to the Oilers lineup. However, many are curious to see as to what kind of impact he has on the team this coming season.
In just 69 games with Florida last season, Jokinen had a lacklustre showing, posting just 11 goals and 28 points. He was also a minus-15, and was not only inconsistent but struggling with injury issues. Before this past year, Jokinen had a remarkable campaign, scoring 18 goals and 60 points through 81 games in 2015-16. That season was the first time since 2009-10 that he reached the 60-point mark.
