The Winnipeg Jets have agreed to terms on a two-year, $9 million contract with Olli Jokinen.
The 33-year-old centre scored 23 goals and added 38 assists with the Calgary Flames in 2011-12.
A veteran of 14 NHL seasons, Jokinen has scored 292 goals and added 391 assists in 1,042 career games with the Flames, Los Angeles Kings, New York islanders, Florida Panthers, Phoenix Coyotes and New York Rangers.
Jokinen has just come off a two-year $6 million contract he signed with the Flames in 2010.
Originally selected third overall by the Kings at the 1997 NHL Entry Draft, the Finnish forward has a wealth of international experience on his resume. He won Olympic silver (2006) and bronze (2010) medals with Finland and has also won two silvers and three bronze at the IIHF World Championships.
Jokinen also served as captain of the Panthers from 2003 until 2008.

Great help on the power play, but he better be playing with at least one defensive-minded player because of that -111 career +/- :lol:
