Thread: Apparently Keefe doesnt know how to strategize against teams who bring their A
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>hockeynutter</b></div><div>Jarnkrok is a hard player to justify. On play alone when he is capable of scoring 15-20 goals easily every year, great defensively and capable of moving anywhere in the lineup a 2nd round pick is justifiable easily on a decently good contract. That being said, he is a UFA after this year, so during the off-season, this will either hurt or hinder the value. As a deadline move, I can see a team spending a 2nd, over the off-season though, they may want to spend less unless they can guarantee a resign. So while I can argue the value, I cannot argue with the fact that he can easily command less.</div></div>

Jarnkrok has 2 years left...he is a decent regular season utility guy who is AWOL in the playoffs...Arizona has no use for him...do the reverse and you will see that he wouldn't fit...he scored 20 goals playing with guys who are point producing machines...I dunno maybe NYI give you a 3rd like they did for Engvall but my guess is no more than a 4th...there are better younger cheaper options without the term commitment

Thread: Bye Sheldon Queef
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafs3416</b></div><div>The reason I don't see it is that he is a Toronto kid, grew up in the area, grew up a leaf's fan, drafted there, its always been his home. Tkachuk is different he is a US born player playing in Canada there's not as much of a tie to the community or area is all. I mean obviously anything can happen but just seems unlikely he would waive to leave is all.</div></div>

The whole Toronto nostalgia thing is over blown by fans and media.

The guy is young and spends half the year traveling...he can still call Toronto home and have a beautiful second home somewhere else.

He is a good hockey player and I feel like its in his best interests to shop around and get a new start...thats the advice his agent should give him...just mentally shop around and tell Leafs no extension just yet and given all the hype what is feeling is with his NMC.
