Fantasy Take: Flames Acquire Jarnkrok

Alexander MacLean

2022-03-16

Seattle finally made a trade that actually looks like they got more than fair value on, netting three picks from the Flames (the highest of which is a second rounder) in exchange for versatile forward Calle Jarnkrok.

What the Flames Get:

The Flames already had a deep forward core, and they add an underrated scorer who has 50-point potential and has been heating up of late. Jarnkrok also has some solid defensive metrics, but aside from that telling us that he won’t get the prime offensive deployment, it’s not worth diving into here.

Jarnkrok can play up, down, and across the lineup, and where he may end up fitting in best is centring Tyler Toffoli and Andrew Mangiapane; a spot held by Adam Ruzicka over the last few games. That would certainly be an upgrade for Jarnkrok over Alex Wennberg and Jaden Schwartz. A 50-point pace for Jarnkrok the rest of the way should be the expectation here. 

What the Kraken Get:

Picks to stockpile the shallowest prospect pool in the NHL.

For their roster considerations, the Kraken are going to have to fill some of the defensive minutes vacated by Jarnkrok. That either means the player jumping up to eat Jarnkrok’s ice time (Morgan Geekie/Kole Lind) is going to be playing more in his own zone, or we’re going to see someone like Jordan Eberle end up having to take more of those draws, freeing up a more offensively inclined player. The end result is really the same, in that the addition by subtraction situation doesn’t really apply here; it's status quo, or even a small downgrade for the fantasy value of others on the Kraken.

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins

Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.
