Was Jokinen too professional?

Or - we could look at the fact that we'd need to look back over a decade in Florida to see the last time Jokenin was anywhere near a top line level player.
He wasn't that same player before, during or after his time with the Flames. He is a long time removed from being an effective top line player and suggesting it had something to do with Iginla is outright laughable.
Jokenin was disappointing (relative to being a top line player) with the Flames, because he simply wasn't a top line caliber talent anymore.
