He was named captain the following season, the fifth in Panthers history. In 2002-03, he scored 65 points (36 goals, 29 assists) through 81 games and was named Florida’s representative at the 2003 All-Star Game. However, he blossomed in his third season. He struggled in his first two seasons in South Florida, only notching 37 points (15 goals, 30 assists) in 158 games. Like in LA, his time on Long Island was short-lived, and he was traded to the Panthers after just one season. Career Outlookĭrafted third overall by the Los Angeles Kings in the 1997 NHL Draft, Jokinen played there for only two seasons before he was traded to the Islanders. After seven seasons, he left his mark in South Florida as one of the greatest to ever don the Panther jersey.

Jokinen would define his career as a Panther and set a new standard for the future. In June 2000, the New York Islanders traded Olli Kokinen along with goaltender Roberto Luongo to the Florida Panthers for Mark Parrish and Oleg Kvasha.
