Jokinen is signed through next season at $3 mil.
As far as Carolina's needs: we need help defensively. Ballard doesn't sound that bad, but his cap hit may be too high for management to pull the plug. Also, IF management is comfortable with Riley Nash as our 3rd line center, which he hasn't looked bad at all, then Carolina needs winger depth.
However, a trade involving Jokinen for someone like Raymond or Higgins seems too lateral to me. And again, Ballard's cap hit just seems too high.
What's the story with Booth this year? Multiple injuries, or what?
