Chemistry with Iginla aside, if Jokinen was that good of a #1 centre he would've found a way to produce. Jokinen was an ok centre, but certainly not a player that helped elevate the Flames in any meaningful way.
What the Flames needed was another player of Iginla's caliber. A gamebreaking player in his own right. There was hope that Jokinen could be that player, but he simply wasn't.
Again, I don't see how that's Iginla's fault. There's no real excuses for Jokinen, after a few great seasons in Florida he just wasn't that good, anywhere.
