He is about as complex as a history buff's take on the Civil War, yet he is as open as Phil Kessel on a two-man advantage. He is as charismatic as a Tony Robbins infomercial, yet he is a down to earth man who believes family comes first...

On the Hot Seat: Flames' Olli Jokinen on the Trading Block?
