It always seems so stupid to me to talk about money when discussing player decisions. For the vast majority of players in the NHL, the dollar amount itself isn't of particular relevance, even if their agents will try and get the most for the player as possible. They want a chance to play in the top league in the world, and usually the pay is more related to how valuable they are to the team rather than how much they want to be earning. Marner was fine earning a bit less in Vegas than he could have made in Toronto because over there he became the best-paid player on the team, a title which he was always chasing in Toronto, and it makes him feel like he's the best/most valuable player on the team.
never liked Jarnkrok… always wonder what he has done to stick around this long.
Jarnkrok definetly deserve a better fanbase! Good for him, leafs is a S show tho
I have never seen a group of guys talk so much, yet contribute so little than sdpn. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan. Just talking into the void lol
I've not seen one single source in Sweden that suggests any kind of termination of the contract, every single source talks about next season. I find it kind of funny, this could only happen in Toronto, which is why I also love Toronto. A fringe player is likely to sign a contract with another team, when his contract is up, that's basically what we are talking about. I think that an interesting question is, how does this impact his trade value, if it was hard to trade him before…
Laughton, Lorentz, Roy, and Matthews are the Leafs forward pkers, unless one of them is injured there's little reason to bring Jarnkrok in for that. Also, depth scoring is better now, no place in the lineup anymore.
Not that it needs to be said again out loud, but the NHL Department of “Safety” is a steaming pile of biased sh*t. They’d made it quite clear that Leaf’s players are open season for egregious hits causing long-term injuries. Goncalvez (knee on knee), Bennett (elbow to the head), Marchand (Lilligren slewfoot at high speed into the boards) … and how many more… all got away with it, with ZERO punishment. Paros and Campbell are disgustingly biased.
Don’t get your hopes up for Thrun, he’ll have a game or two of being invisible (not making mistakes) followed up by a couple games of some pretty bad mistakes. He had the potential to be a pretty good NHL defensemen but he’s way too timid and afraid to make mistakes that it kind of paralyzes him on the ice. There’s a reason that as soon as SJ got any sort of defensive depth that they traded him, I think he was something like 12th or 13th dman on the roster.
I heard a while back some AHL players make like $2-3,000 a month. I don't know how they survive on that little.
Ive never seen him have a breakout game. Sure he fits in but never stands out. If someone wants him, thats on them lol
Treliving really needs to be fired , he has screwed up TOR as bad as he did CGY!
Dump all the dead space like Jarnkrok, Carlo,Maccelli, Robertson, and go after a couple of physical defensive Dmen that shoot right.
And at least 1 of Stolarz or Woll need to be traded as they are injured as often a s they play, you can NOT rely on them in playoffs .
Is Leaf fans keep expecting to be treated fairly by the NHL dept. of player safety and officials. We have to start realizing it’s the Leafs against the opponent , refs and player safety Department.
wow a rumour from ep transfers…sounds legit already
Laughton, Lorentz and Jarnkrok is the 4th line the Leafs should keep.
Discussing if Jarnkrok is worth 2.1M and #34 sitting there eating the most-expensive caviar… for what, again?
Thrun just needs to be steady and unnoticeable, unless he brings offense
Plus, if the Leafs miss the playoffs, Jarnkrok would have suitors at the TDL. Either way the Leafs season goes, Calle has a good chance of playing playoff games. I really can't buy the idea he is breaking his contract.
It is next season, already confirmed in Sweden
He will join Nicklas Bäckström, Brynäs is trying to build a super line again and go for gold
Good utility player. I agree with Jesse, you're only saving the delta between Calle and his replacement which is a reasonably paltry sum and you're likely to take a hit in performance/utility which negates any "value" gained.
SPDN With Tanev, Carlo an Stecher being your RD when healthy. What pairing do you put Rielly on?
Steve! I think I have a solution. Get together with producer Drew and watch all Avalanche footage, take it to the Leafs coaching staff, after editing and tell them 'here, just do this stuff'.
The thing missing with Jarnkrok, and it's a big thing, is his lack of physicality.
Another soft boring player, what's the leafs obsession with that?
I’m sorry Chris but I will bet you $1000 Calle is going to Brynäs.
1 it’s home for him, This is like JT going to Toronto. He wants to play for the team be grew up playing for and the players he grew up playing with.
Both Johan Larsson and Jacob Silfverberg is playing for brynäs now. And BOTH were offered NHL deals, but chose to go home. Both johan and Jacob had these kinds of rumors about them this time of year the season before they went home.
Unless some team offers him good money (for his talents) and multiple years, he is going 100%
I don't care about NHL officiating and DOPS anymore, they are simply corrupt and will do whatever they feel regardless of the rules. NHL is a joke.
Leafs will have 6 UFA/RFA's at the end of the season. Jarnkrok one of them. I don't think they will re-sign him unless it's for league min. I think Maccelli, Robertson, Myers, Thrun, Hildeby, Akhtyamov will be sent to the minors or Traded when everyone is healthy. It is possible Woll will be used as trade bait. Some teams are desperate for a goalie and he could get us a good player.
Watching defensemen on SJ take them to a better record than the Leafs when they could not play for our team is why we never improve. We undervalue players that show any promise or talent and overvalue vets on other teams, assuming they will do the same here as they do on other teams when they are used in completely different situations.
i hope so.
Jarnkrok is complete trash. A marlie would be more useful
