The Jokinen trade: good or bad

The flames recently sent Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust to the New York Rangers in exchange for Ales Kotalik and Christopher Higgins. I'm not sure whether I like this trade or not. I really liked Jokinen, even though he hadn't produced as much this year as I would have liked. I'm pretty sad to see Jokinen leave, and it isn't any different for me with Brandon Prust. He's the ideal Flame. He works hard, he fights a lot, and can throw big hits too. I wish Darryl Sutter could have trade some other player other than Prust. But, players come and go. It's just part of the game, I guess. What helps to compensate for the loss of Prust is made up by the fact that I think Kotalik is really going to help the team. Maybe some new faces will help give the Flames some energy, and break this funk that the Flames are in right now. And, to top it off, Higgins sounds good too. So, though I'm not overjoyed at this trade like I was with the Phaneuf trade, I think the Jokinen trade might work out very well for the Flames.
