Confirmed Trade: [CAR/NSH] Mark Jankowski for 2025 fifth round

[Cup Or Bust]

I have always been a fan of Jankowski since he was on the Flames. I always felt he was a player that is super cheap but you could get some decent value out of him in your lineup. He is a guy I kind of wanted the Oilers to sign for really cheap depth. Then again, maybe I have not watched him enough the last number of years to know any better also.

Bottom six grinders coming to the Canes must show up to their first practice and feel like they’ve found nirvana. The system is very much set up for them to succeed and there’s zero pressure to score, only to play the system and play hard. It’s not weird for them to fit in better than they fit in elsewhere.

Steal of the trade deadline so far....

Best player in the draft? THAT Jankowski? Robbery

An absolute steal, wow.

He's just found nirvana, that's all bro.

It's a crazy little heater, and yes, of course it's unsustainable, but for a measly 5th rounder and an extra year of term at near-league minimum? I'll take it.

This is obviously completely unsustainable from Jankowski, but this is still a crazy statistic. He almost has as many goals for the Canes as Necas since the first Avs/Canes swap:

All of Jankowski's goals are since Mar. 4 too... before that he hadn't scored since before Xmas.

Who says the Canes didn't upgrade at the TDL?

A bit of underrated business is Janks is making nearly league min salary ($800k vs $775k) next year to be a 4C for us. Jack Drury was making $1.725M. Granted, we don't need the extra space as we have like $37M in space for next year.

In Jankowski's 7 games with 6 goals with the Canes, he's only taken 8 shots. This has to be one of the highest shooting percentages in a 7 game stretch for any modern day Hurricane. His shot selection and placement would be giving him a decent amount of goals, but I'd still think he's a 20G scorer for the year in an absolute best case scenario. I could see him plausibly pricing himself out of Canes land after having a fine year next year.
