Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign Jarnkrok to a 4 year 2.1M AAV contract

[Legion34]

Is it even possible to sign engvall and sandin with this move and keep Kerfoot/hill? Or are moves guaranteed at this point?

 

[BigBlu]

Caphit is fine, term is a bit much.

They are directly related.

 

[NMacrules]

Wanted him at the deadline so I'm pretty happy about this.

Engvall-Kampf-Jarnkrok looks liked a solid 3rd line.

Now if we could trade Kerfoot or Holl and bring in El Nino that would finish off the forward group nicely.

screw that! Put Engvall on the 4th line where he belongs and put Robertson in that 3rd line spot.

Robertson-Kamf-Jarnkrok.

Guaranteed. Kerfoot is as good as gone and so is Holl.

Robertson-Kamf-Jarnkrok.

that could work too.

[Blaylock38]

that 2nd line needs a shake up.

Agreed. I'd like to see Robertson win that spot out of camp, or the Leafs to grab Milano on a deal with value.

 

[NMacrules]

What need does he fit?

If this is a precursor to trading Kerfoot, it's an excellent signing. Otherwise, we didn't need additional small soft players who don't perform in the playoffs.

Come on man, he is not soft at all. He has tons of snarl.

thats a wicked third line. some scoring, hard work, defense,

Agreed. I'd like to see Robertson win that spot out of camp, or the Leafs to grab Milano on a deal with value.

i always find it funny with nylander as a player. sure he's good but not what this team needs right now. we r stuck with JT so hes not going anywhere but they have no chemistry and u dont want nylander on third line, so what does that tell u.

dubas should be looking to improve the club as a whole using nylander imo

 

[Apex Predator]

So basically we are replacing Kerfoot with a Kerfoot like player…….does that make us better or just different

Gives us more cap room. When can use it to get someone in the top 6 or at the deadline trade for someone. Either use all your cap space or save it for more room at the deadline.

Team should be good enough to be in the mix come the deadline.

 

[zeke]

I would take a look at that. Nino's numbers are always kind of underwhelming but he does bring some of the power ingredients that could change the top six dynamic.

Last 2yrs like a 30gl/50pt type pace with minimal PP time. That's pretty nice imo.

 

[NMacrules]

that could work too.

Yea, I think Robertson is going to have his breakout season. He scored 55 in 46 games with the Petes, and he scored 16 in 28 with the Marlies last season, which he was injured a lot but 100% healthy now. Nick Robertson is our very own Brendan Gallagher when he hits his prime. Incredible motor.

They have about ~$1million in space right now, which could become ~$2million if they waive Simmonds.

So it's possible that they resign one, but almost impossible to sign both of them without someone out the door.

 

[htpwn]

Not sure how I feel about this. A year or two long, IMO, but also feels like Jarnkrok brings a lot of what we already have.

Wonder if Kerfoot is on the move?

 

[Drew311]

2.1m seems little expensive doesnt it? Ive wanted Jarnkrok on the Leafs like him just feels little rich

2.1M is rich for a 3rd liner who can contribute 30 - 40 points and move up the line up if necessary?

 

[NMacrules]

Leafs have tons of scoring. Move Nylander for a stud D and we're set.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Is he more a center or winger at this point? The idea of running a true shutdown line is pretty appealing.

Engval/Kampf/Jarnkrok

I see holl gone for sure , maybe Kerfoot . I'd love To trade for Necas if they continue to spin tires contractually. Ideal buy low imo combined with their cap crunch.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

2.1M is rich for a 3rd liner who can contribute 30 - 40 points and move up the line up if necessary?

honestly I forgot he put up so many points was thinking he was closer to a 20 point guy till I relooked him up.
there are far too many players in the NHL to remember every players points off hand. atleast for me

 

[Byron Bitz]

I don’t know much about him but I like how teams seem to really value him. Nashville kept him around for a long time, Seattle selected him in the expansion draft and Calgary traded for him at the deadline. That’s 3 other teams that clearly like him.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

still less then we paid matt martin over 4 years. nothing to complain about here.

just people that wouldn't have been happy no matter who we would have signed

 

[NMacrules]

Honestly, I don't know alot about this player, but it sounds like he'll be better defensively, better on the PK, and better on faceoffs. In addition, I don't hate this guy as opposed to Kerfoot, who I think is a sandwich short of a picnic upstairs. Takes brutal penalties and may have cost us game 6 with the help of the refs.

Kerfoot cost us game 6 and game 7. There is no doubt about it. Big game choker. I hate him.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Leafs have tons of scoring. Move Nylander for a stud D and we're set.

Nylander is an elite forward. If he gets dealt they'll regret it big time.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Much prefer a guy like Jarnkrok filling out the bottom six than the fluff that is usually brought in. Good signing.

 

[NMacrules]

Nylander is an elite forward. If he gets dealt they'll regret it big time.

Nylander is an elite coward. He should be dealt for a stud D. Leafs have tons of scoring and he will not be missed.

 

[DarkKnight]

I have crunched the numbers, and the difference is four years.

You are our Brandon Pridham

 

[Buds17]

He's typically been one for signing team friendly deals. Good add. Wonder what this means for the current group?
