Report: Oilers willing to deal Jokinen

Desperate to halt their skid, the Edmonton Oilers are reportedly willing to deal forward Jussi Jokinen.

With the team off to a 3-6-1 record to begin the year, Edmonton has reached out to fellow clubs to "gauge interest" for the 34-year-old, according to Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

Unfortunately, the chances the Oilers are able to acquire anything of significant value for Jokinen is unlikely. He has tallied just one assist in nine games, while averaging 12:14 of ice time per night - the 11th most among the team's forwards.

Jokinen signed a one-year, $1.1-million deal with the Oilers this offseason after posting 11 goals and 28 points in 69 games with the Florida Panthers last season.
