From George Richards of the Miami Herald:
Big news in Pantherland is that TSN is reporting that Olli Jokinen has “indicated” that he would like to be traded. If this is true, it’s a complete reversal from things I have heard from Camp Jokinen. If it’s true (and I don’t really doubt the validity of the report), I think Olli figured he was gone anyway, might as well make it look like he had some control over things.

No surprise here. Jokinen has clearly had enough of the rumors about being on his way out of Florida so he has probably just let the organization know he wants out. Let the bidding continue…
