Nice pickup for my beloved Pens.
As i stated in the Iggy's first goal thread, TK on the 1st line is pretty bad, but the right move to let the 2nd / 3rd line gel. Jokinen is significant upgrade as a stop-gap.
In addition, he's a pretty big upgrade over Glass on the 4th line and a good face-off guy. In 09' run they double shifted Crosby / Geno a lot on 4th line with Satan while dressing 7 D to create an additional threat. I don't see them dressing 7 d, but I think you will see Crosby / Geno double shift on a line with TK / Jokinen which could make even the 4th line a problem for teams
