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

[Volica]

Definitely not at faceoffs

Faceoffs literally mean next to nothing.
Jarnkrok has almost identical stats to Backlund; Backlund is infinitely more valuable to this team than Monahan, and a much better overall player.

 

[kihei]

I'll take it. Wanted a second, so the rest is a nice bonus.

 

[ottawa]

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?

I'm sure it went more like this...

Team A offer: 2nd + 4th + 7th
Team B offer: 2nd + 4th + 7th
Calgary offer: 2nd + 3rd + 7th

Calgary likely edged other teams with their 2nd or 3rd

How are faceoffs irrelevant, the game is about puck possession. Monahan is still going to be playing center when Jarnkrok joins the team, jarnkrok might replace Ruzicka but Monahan isn't going to be moved from the center position regardless of how much you complain about him

But he probably should be. You know, because he's way worse than Jarnkrok.

Tell that to the pk unit when a play develops right off the lost draw.

Monahan doesn't PK though... and for good reason.

I'm not talking about Monahan, I'm talking about the importance of faceoffs in general

He does center the 2nd PP unit and that is important to win for the exact same reason as stated above just for the other team

 

[super6646]

They might mean something on the PK, but 80% of the game is played at ES. In general, there isn't any real correlation between faceoff stats and puck possession as far as I'm aware.

The faceoffs in each end are important, too

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Great pickup by the Flames, unfortunately.

 

[Soundgarden]

Nashville fan here, Jarnkrok can play anywhere in the lineup, but he disappears offensively in the playoffs.

 

[jetsforever]

Pretty good for both teams

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

Oh lord, the Flames are getting even more tougher and frustrating to play against.

Nice trade for both sides.

 

[Seiza]

I see a pattern in Calgary trying to sign old Brynäs players (Markström, Lindholm and Järnkrok), this must mean Jakob Silfverberg and Johan Larsson are next in line. Or Ekholm on D.

Järnkrok and Lindholm are really close by the way (more like brothers than cousins as Calle said). Could lift both of their games being on the same team. Good acquisition.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Best thing about this Jarnkrok deal is that he is not Ben Chiarot and didn't cost a 1st+.

 

[Sauce12]

Good depth choice, very similar to Lehks if the flames were interested in him. Less team control and older, so gotta be a lower cost.
Bring back Kulak.

Not to derail, but with Zads and Gud Calgary is a team that shouldn't be in on Benny.

Are those guys buddies of yours?

 

[Oddbob]

Large price for what Jarnkrok brings.

 

[Deen]

Large price for what Jarnkrok brings.

I am sure Sutter has some input in who he wanted and they got their guy before the deadline. That's why Tre paid more.

 

[kihei]

He's really improved dramatically as the season progressed so Calgary is getting him at exactly the right time. Wish him well.

 

[Gaud]

Hmm wonder if this sets a price for Lekhonen

 

[Snauen]

They want Lindholm to be happy, they main reason for this trade I guess.

Klart i natt: Kusinerna Lindholm och Järnkrok blir lagkamrater i NHL

NEW YORK. Kusinerna Calle Järnkrok och Elias Lindholm blir lagkamrater i NHL. Calle trejdades under natten från Seattle Kraken till Calgary Flames. – Vi är mer

They are cousins and call themselves "brothers"

 

[Mersss]

Hmm wonder if this sets a price for Lekhonen

One is a UFA at the end of the year, the other is a RFA with team control. This trades means nothing for Lekhonen's value.

Backlund is our best or second best PKer. With identical face off stats as Jarnkrok.

The only time faceoff stats become something worth monitoring, is when guys hit the Bergeron plateau and they’re winning 65%+. The difference between a 52% and 49.8% player are absolutely negligible.
