After the lockout, Santala was assigned to Jokerit by the Thrashers. He played one year with Jokerit before Atlanta traded him to the Vancouver Canucks.

On 5 September 2007 he signed as a free agent with Jokerit.
After one season back with Jokerit, Santala opted to leave and sign with Swiss club, the Kloten Flyers from the 2008–09 season. He parted company with the team in December 2016 to join the KHL. On 23 December 2016 he signed a deal with Metallurg Magnitogorsk.
