Confirmed Trade: [CGY/SEA] Calle Jarnkrok (50%) for 2022 2nd round pick, 2023 3rd round pick and 2024 7th round pick

[Cyborg Yzerberg]

Big fan of Jarnkrok. He'll do well in Calgary.

 

[JPeeper]

2nd/3rd/7th for 30 games of Jarnkrok?

Seller's market.

Probably closer to 50.

 

[Mass]

You can say the same on a lot of players on teams that had no playoff success

3 goals in 63 playoff games is a lot bigger than the team. Plenty of lesser players were able to have success when he didn’t. There’s no shame in admitting he’s a ghost in the playoffs.

Sure I guess it’s possible he figures it out….. at 30

 

[CupofOil]

Not sure why people are calling this a steep price. It's a very late 2nd and a 3rd for what I've always thought is an underrated player. Slightly steep but for an all in team, not really.

I hate the Flames as much as anybody but this is yet another good trade for them.
Meanwhile, Ken Holland..... Uh

 

[Volica]

Very unlikely. Probably replaces Lewis on the Backlund - Coleman line

We’ll see.
I think this was a clear message in having a legit 3C.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

We’ll see.

He hasn't played a full time center role in 5 years though

He is a bottom 6 depth player….I don’t think their whole playoff depends on him figuring it out. They just need him to be better than some of their bottom 6 players and he is.

Some of the prices being paid right now to me are downright shocking.

Half of the Eastern conference are clear sellers... they all have pieces to move... would whomever was interested in Jarnkrok not also be interested in Nick Paul, Chris Tierney, or Cody Eakin?

 

[Volica]

Would still be better than the ghost of Sean Monahan.

Calgary

Calgary's lines for tonights game without Jarnkrok are:

Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Coleman-Backlund-Lewis
Mangiapane-Ruzicka-Toffoli
Lucic-Monahan-Dube
Richardson-Ritchie

He displaces Lewis on the second line if we're talking from a skill POV.
Positionally, Lucic sits out.

Either way that's a pretty formidable forward group.

Lucic still not sit. He's one of the team's top hitters. It will be Dube, Lewis, Ruzicka, and Monahan getting less time.

He is a bottom 6 depth player….I don’t think their whole playoff depends on him figuring it out. They just need him to be better than some of their bottom 6 players and he is.

If you just want a guy that can PK and give you solid minutes without killing you then they will be happy. He's a good player in the regular season but when things get tighter and more physical he just doesn't have the game for it. He's good stable filler.

Maybe Paul. Tierney and Eakin are not the same level

 

[blankall]

Really like this move but slight overpayment with the 3rd. The Flames top 9 may be deeper than it's been in 30 years though. Guys like Toffoli, Coleman, and Jarnkrok really add that hustle and jam. 8 legit top 9 players, plus Lucic, Dube, Ruzicka, Lewis and Monahan. Very solid.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Another top 9 forward and one that can play center? Could not be happier, we are all in on this season and I love it

 

[thaman8765678]

Flames have to be up there for cup contenders.

 

[1989]

Wonder if there's any way they can trade for a defenceman.

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Now I just gotta hope Nashville can bring him back in the off season. Such a good utility player.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

He's a poor man's Lindholm. Not surprising considering they are cousins.

 

[JurassicTunga]

A move that just makes a lot of sense. Really like this for the Flames as the Swedish mafia continues to grow.

Cool that he's Lindy's cousin as well.

 

[Daz28]

I always wonder with deals like this how giving up a 7th gets included. Is Seattle so hard up that the 7th would be a deal breaker?

The deal they're intended to break is the waiver pick another team might have got that you wanted. 7's have value, and that's why they're included.

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Would still be better than the ghost of Sean Monahan.

Definitely not at faceoffs

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Wonder if there's any way they can trade for a defenceman.

They can but the dman has to come in at under 1M, its as simple as the cap space comes directly from needing to send a player down due to roster limit

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Probably because Monahan is very good at faceoffs, whereas Dube and Jarnkrok are rather subpar to mediocre at best. He's not going to be moved to the wing simply because of this

He's good at faceoffs but bad at playing center... Maybe better to play the better center who loses 1 more faceoff every 25 faceoffs.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Rizicka has been sent down. So Jarnkrok will likely take his #3C spot.

Jarnkrok with Mangiapane and Toffoli. He hasn't had this good of wingers in his entire career.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Wish the price was lower but love the player. Trying not to get high hopes this year.
