The Blues need to start refurbishing their blueline and someone who can jumpstart their 24th ranked powerplay. Timmins, 25, can do both of those things.

With Rielly and Liljegren soaking up the PP time on the point and Niemela as well as Villeneuve knocking on the door, Timmins was going to get squeezed here. He needed to be moved on.

With Jakob Silfverburg retiring the Ducks need a veteran PK type who can hold his own regardless where you play him to step in. That's Jarnkrok. He played on all four lines and all three forward slots as well as defense in a pinch for the Leafs and on both special teams. He is a literal positional and situational Gumby. And an ideal mentor for a young team. The Boston pick is 58th overall so it is nearly a 3rd. That's not too high a price to pay.

Like Timmins, For Jarnkrok there is simply too many forwards and not enough slots for all of them. The Leafs are year by year turning over their forward group as they graduate prospects from the minors. And this season will be no different.
