The Senators actually placed some value on Jokipakka. They didn't claim him on waivers because they wanted to ship out a contract in return; so they made the trade and threw in Kostka. At least one other team offered a 2nd-round pick, but Calgary was the only one that would also give them an NHL defenceman for the stretch run.
