Jokinen was the very best UFA forward available that year. He signed a 2 year 4.5M/deal that the Flames, perennially close to the CAP, could not think of matching. Cervenka was a Hail Mary pass by the Feaster management team to hang onto their jobs for one more year. When that obviously didn't work they offer sheeted RoR....

If the Flames management trade Colborne (for a pick or prospect) before they find out how Pribyl fits in then they should be let go immediately.
