A smart and shifty puck-moving defenceman who thinks the game at a high level. Jokinen's shifty on his edges, avoids pressure with fakes and cutbacks and also throws a fair bit of deception behind his breakout passes. On retrievals, he’s both poised and fast-paced depending on what the situation calls for. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
