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

[NMacrules]

I'm just thankful we are finally out from underneath the Kessel debacle.

I have a sneaky feeling Nylander is the one going. He didn't play well with Tavares last season and if he doesn't fit well there, I don't know where he can play.

I think it's Tavares game that's slipped and not Nylanders..is moving Johnny to the wing insane? I mean have Tavares still take draws but pass off actual defensive responsibilities to Nylander/Necas ( or someone that has experience at C ) . Could save his legs /make him more effective longterm ...idk. Just a thought

Boring

I need some more flash

Here ya go!

I don't think they waive Simmonds. Clifford on the other hand....

Doesn’t Simmonds have an NMC? He is most likely the 13th forward. Unless they buy him out. He can’t be sent to the minors without his permission.

EDIT! It’s a modified no trade

The flash is on its way, if I had my way of course and it will be awesome if I had my way

????? Kase isn’t better

And what miky are we talking about. The one for 100 games or the last 6 weeks?

This confused me as well . Kase hadn't been able to stay healthy for years and even when he has he's not as good .

Clifford is negligible, as his cap hit will be offset by Robertson I believe.

Where did I say Kase was better? Those are the in/out transactions for those roles.

If you want to see how dumb this forum is around anything Leafs, take a look at the hype for when he reached Calgary:

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

forums.hfboards.com

Sorry, the small sample size of 17 games in Calgary now made him a terrible player? Maybe it was an anomaly and exclusive to his poor usage in Calgary? Nah, that's can't be it.

I bet they picked him for depth and stuck him on the 4th line with no one to play with like the Leafs did to Blackwell.

Ohhh sorry. In my mind the alligator was eating kase

I would expect the Leafs are having contract talks with Kerfoot. If it looks like they won't be able to extend him, then they might trade him and make room to sign Engvall and Sandin, and bring Rortson onto the roster.

If they can sign Kerfoot to an extension they can afford, then Holl looks like he's next on the list.

10-team NTC that he had to submit on Wednesday.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

I approve this

 

[Dreakmur]

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

 

[kb]

You are our Brandon Pridham

Well played. LOL

 

[nuck]

if i'm correct, jarnkrok and reilly are only two players under contract so far for the 2025-2026 season.

he must feel special lol

Yes he is the clubs future!

 

[rocketman588]

Kerfoot $3.5 + Holl $2 + $700k we already have.

Have to take off money for engvall however

 

[kb]

Here ya go!

You failed. Where is our boy Murray's face on that!!?!?

haha not that good at this stuff lol! but that would be amazing!

 

[nuck]

The money is great. The term is concerning.

I listed him as an option yesterday but I overestimated his offensive ability.

Perhaps the idea is we get a RH center who can play at both ends of the ice, can PK, maybe bring some PP value at least as a guy who takes draws, and then can also fit on a line which will get chances offensively, but will also still be reliable in their own end. Not big or physical, but there are some options. I imagine Kerfoot is moved now, since Jarnkrok is effectively a RH version of him who is a little over 2 years older.

The options were getting thin at center, and short of getting Stastny or Rask, you are getting a similar two-way profile in Steel or Tierney. Jarnkrok is more expensive, but better too.

I don't want to get ahead of myself with him because his Calgary stint was underwhelming but in the bigger sample over the last 3 years he has played on some really low octane forward groups. He might be a more productive top 6 option than than we think.

 

[Zonk]

35 in the final year of a deal is literally standard lol. Sick signing

I am curious how someone who is 30 years old will be five years older in four years? You need to work on your math skills.

 

[34]

Huh. Who the heck is this. The team is getting worse everyday. WTF

 

[Jarnkrok]

He's 31 in September and you give him a 4 year deal?

Hey hey there, Lidstrom won a Norris at age 56.

 

[Dayjobdave]

Watching his highlights he seems really skilled and has a nose for the net. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pushes his point totals higher with the skill we have around him.

Is Kerfoot the odd man out ?
With this Jarnkrok signing something has to give
