I'll have to agree to disagree. Thought jokinen's second stint was a disaster despite him getting more points. I believe Brent was the coach one season and heavily relied on him too much and he clearly couldn't handle it. He did find his groove offensively but I'll always maintain a team with a center who has low hockey IQ who plays as many minutes as Jokinen did will never go anywhere in the playoffs or might not even qualify for the playoffs.
He had 6 career NHL playoff games and had to be traded to a playoff bound team to even get a taste of the playoffs.
I don't think he was under appreciated at all.
