Confirmed with Link: Official 2023 Training Camp discussion - CAMPS OVER!!!

[ACC1224]

With the Leafs Cap situation he is the most likely player traded to become Cap compliant.

Leafs might not be playing him to ensure he is not injured and currently being shopped in trade.

With Leafs being +$2 mil over the start of season roster, that makes Calle Jarnkrok @ $2.1 mil a logical choice to be dealt.

Here is the List injury list as being reported.

If he were to get injured wouldn't that help them?

 

[Mess]

The Leafs are not 2 million over the cap but I still agree with the conclusion that Jarnkrok could be the logical one to move.

With 12F, 7D and 2G the Leafs are approximately $500k over the cap

Trading Jarnkrok and signing Gregor to min in theory would actually give the leafs about $830k in cap space which they could sit on and accrue for the deadline or bring up Holmberg (800k) and have 22 players.

With Jarnkrok listed on a 23 man max roster Leafs are currently +$2.9 mil over the legal limit after using LTIR on Muzzin and Murray,

Trading Calle for futures/pick makes the most sense to become Cap compliant, with a few minor roster configurations thereafter.

The Leafs are not going to have a 23 man roster, hence why they are not over the cap by more than $500k as I stated

Should be noted that capfriendly has Robertson on IR for some reason so they really have us at 2.9 million over with a 24 man roster and Muzzin and Murray on LTIR.

Should be noted that Capfriendly also has Robertson listed as Cleared Sept 7th.

Not sure why they haven't removed him from below but he is also on his ELC and 2-way contract and could be demoted to AHL without and Cap concerns or loss. So while he is still included on the Leafs total at present he is not included in the 23 man active roster.

You could swap him with Gambrell on the active roster as their salaries are nearly a wash as far as the Cap goes but that still places them $2.1 mil over the Cap.

Though this number does include three goalies, and Martin Jones $800 K will likely come off when he is waived after training camp. Either Pontus Holmberg or Dylan Gambrell can also be sent down without affecting the team too much as well. Some additional options for getting under the cap include moving Sam Lafferty ($1.15 million), Conor Timmins ($1.1 million), or Calle Jarnkrok ($2.1 million).

Jarnkrok might make the most sense because trading him opens up more space than the other two. (Salary cap info from capfriendly.com)

This makes me think that Robertson (holding Jarnkrok's spot), Gregor, Cowan, and Lagesson will all be demoted at some point.

That lineup must be some sort of Rorschach test. I see the Robarts library building or a regular season lineup peppered with a few bubble players.

That may not be good news for him. Gregor has looked decent and there are some Marlies knocking on the door
Won't surprise me if he's not part of the starting day lineup

 

[Stephen]

I am very confident that there would be some form of announcement or rumours about it if that was the case. It would be unprecedented for something like that to not have any smoke.

To be fair it’s a new regime and we heard nothing until Matthews tweeted his extension out. So they could be as tight lipped about this and that’s how they do business.

Though I would imagine the more likely situation is they’ll give Jarnkrok some extended rest to start the season if there’s something wrong with him and kick their cap issues down the road a bit.

 

[stickty111]

Likely opening night lineup. Jankrok (unless traded) for Robertson the only change. Selfishly l'd like Robertson to make it but Jankrok's all round game is helpful with the defensive players we lost.
Whatever we choose between the two, we have the abiility to run 3 lines offensively, but we gain more defensive versatility with Jankrok and an extra pker too.

 

[Sypher04]

Honestly, Domi Nylander Robertson could be a dynamite line.

Keeping Robertson over Jarnkrok would also help the salary cap. Think it would allow us to keep Timmins as the 7th D.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Should pad RObertson stats and trade him

Toronto Maple Leafs Shouldn’t Have Trouble Trading Jarnkrok​

Trading Jarnkrok and his $2.1 million salary while demoting Martin Jones would get the Leafs extremely close to being cap compliant.

Due to the additions that Leafs general manager Brad Treliving made this off-season, Jarnkrok doesn’t have a clear spot on the team, as Tyler Bertuzzi, Matthew Knies, , Max Domi, and Nick Robertson, among others, are all looking to take his ice-time.

With three years left in his contract at $2.1 million a season, it shouldn’t be hard for the Leafs to find a trade partner for the 31-year-old Jarnkrok. He is a 30-40 point guy who can play up and down the lineup.

Trading Jarnkrok will allow the Toronto Maple Leafs to start the season with a roster of 22 players. They can play it safe and start with 13 forwards, seven defensemen, and two goaltenders.

 

[ACC1224]

Keeping Robertson over Jarnkrok would also help the salary cap. Think it would allow us to keep Timmins as the 7th D.

If they can find a team to take him.

 

[fahad203]

Why? He's still has so much upside. A lot of young players goes through injuries then recover

 

[TheDoldrums]

Jarnkrok is a good player that more than earns his salary, trading him because they overpaid Kampf and Reaves is a bad outcome

 

[Mess]

If they can find a team to take him.

The Nylander move to centre makes Jarnkrok even more expendable, and dealing him away opens up the opportunity to sign Patty Kane when healthy as he replaces Nylander former wing position and a significant upgrade on Jarnkrok.

Willy's move to C, and Jarnkrok disappearing from the Leafs active rosters, while Pat Kane is TO rehabbing his hip injury and looking for a new home might all come together nicely for Leafs.

Lets just starting connecting the dots of opportunity here.

That last part suggests he has a chance to make the team.

Beaten to the punch.

I don't think he makes the team, but it would be an incredible feat if he did. There is a lot he can work on still at the Junior level. On top of that, his cap hit is problematic. If we move Jarnkrok, and add two players at $800k or less... whether that is Robertson and Gregor at minimum... or someone else, we can run with a 22 man roster. If it's Easton, his cap hit is $935k... so we'd only be able to run with a 21 man roster. Given his age, and the numbers, I don't think he makes the team... and this is all assuming Jarnkrok is moved too.

Whatever happened to "defense wins championships" that you said all summer?

You want to remove one of the last defensive forwards we have, why?

Your logic makes no sense at all.

That last part suggests he has a chance to make the team.

We would lose someone to waivers or be putting Knies in the minors in this scenario.

I can't see it happening, I think it is more encouragement than anything else.
