Jokinen is one of the best Finnish players right now.

Yep.
And outside of Staal, he'd be a better fit with Malkin and Sykora than any of the alternatives.

I don't see him taking Malones spot on that line. If he replaces anyone it would be Sykora. The other side of the malkin / sykora line need a body that is going to hit someone and control the puck in the corners, not another perimeter/ get in open space and snipe kinda player.

according to one of Proteaus sources SHero wants nothing to do with the offer sheet and therefor isn't talking to Tampa about it.

That's very very interesting and pretty much kills any ideas people have about the Pens going after RFAs. That Shero allegedly wants nothing to do with offer sheets tells me that other GMs don't either. Shero potentially creates an enemy in Bryan Murray by going along with Tampa's idea and also other GMs around the league who are against them.
Understandable considering Jordan Staal's status after this season.

Man, bse, that doesn't say a whole lot about Finnish players then, does it?

It only takes one renegade to foul this up. He might stop Bryan Murry from making an offer sheet to Jordan, but what about those whackos out west or even the flyers.
GM's need to start planning their strategy around offer sheets instead of just playing by the old code of don't ask don't tell mentality.

The Ottawa Senators have traded defenceman Andrej Meszaros to the Tampa Bay Lightning for defencemen Filip Kuba, Alexandre Picard and a first round pick (previously acquired from San Jose)

If it makes the penguins better, the deal needs to be done...

Lol. That's pretty good considering the article is about the Pens/Lightning. Unless he misread "Sens." That or he wants to move the Blues to the famed Canadian capital.

It's from almost 2 seasons ago, but it's probably one of my favorite goals.
