FifeHockeyNut 57 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 I like this trade. Jarnkrok may develop in to a great player, but before the deadline I wanted make sure that come March 6th we still had Tatar, Nyquist, Jurco, Sproul, Oullet, Mrazek, Mantha, Pullkinnen... I prefer these guys so it's not like we sold the family china. Eaves wasn't back in the summer, so effectively a pick and a prospect for a proven centre isn't a high price. 1 DatsyukianDekes reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
achildr1 255 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 My best guess is that the Wings realized Jarny was never gonna be big enough for the NHL Then Pulkkinen will surely never play... Well of course the Wings would have won more Cups had they just given Axelsson and Ryno a chance!! Are you kidding me? These guys were never going to be good enough to be in the NHL let alone good enough to even merit a look with the Wings back then. Neither have gotten offers from any other NHL club since leaving so every other team must have seen the same the Wings did. Hell last time I checked Ryno couldnt even cut it in the Swedish elite league and has been hanging out in the Swedish 2nd tier since leaving NA. Right...Axelsson sounded like a typical primadonna, lazy kid. Those guys jusy dont work out here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 From Globe & Mail: David Poile remembers only too well not getting anything out of Ryan Suter in 2012 when the Nashville general manager couldn’t sign the defenceman to a new contract. He didn’t let it happen again. ... ... “I certainly didn’t like the fact going back a few years the Ryan Suter situation when we didn’t get anything for an unrestricted free agent,” Poile said. “I think we need to try to manage our assets as best possible and the fact that David was going to be unrestricted and we have no guarantee we’ll be able to sign him after the season, (trading) made a lot of sense for the organization and for the future.” ...

Holmstrom96 347 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 Legwand is in fact from the burbs, went to Grosse Pointe North, my old high school (not bragging, just saying) Makes you wonder if this is the fulfillment of a dream, or does being an NHL veteran lower the excitement of getting traded to the team he probably idolized as a child.

derblaueClaus 1,668 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 The more I think of this deal, the more I like it. I wrote somewhere that we likely won't resign Legwand. But I didn't take into consideration that we will most likley loose at least 2 Wingers with Bert and Cleary this summer. And it's not to absurd to think of Legwand as a legit Top 6 -Winger. For that and our immediate need for a center the deal is ok. Nothing to write home about but not awful either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pucktividi 472 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 http://www.expressen.se/sport/hockey/nhl/jag-vet-inte-varifran-uppgifterna-kommer/ "I do not know the source of the data" LOS ANGELES. Detroit saw Calle Järnkrok as a coming man. But yesterday changed its NHL club away, 22-year old Swedish talent to Nashville to get veteran center David Legwand, 33. TV sports channel TSN stated that one of the reasons the Red Wings dropped Järnkrok was that he said he is considering moving back to Sweden after this season. Something Calle denies. - I have not said. I do not know where the data is coming, but that's not true, he says to SportExpressen.se. Email Prior to the NHL's trading deadline on Wednesday took a series of big plays stores room. One of the most notable was Detroit's swap deal with Nashville, where they gave up Patrick Eaves, Calle Järnkrok and a third round in this year's draft to get Legwand. The idea is that the veteran center to help the Red Wings the rest of the season, when you have cents ministers Henrik Zetterberg, Pavel Datsjuk and Darren Helm injured. Järnkrok makes his second season in Farm Team Grand Rapid Griffins in the AHL and says he was immediately shocked to have to change clubs. - Yes, you could say that I was. This was not something I had anticipated, but although it is sad to leave all my friends here in Grand Rapids so it feels good to get a new start in Nashville's organization. Today, Thursday, he will travel to Milwaukee, where the Predators have their farm team. - The idea is that I'll play with Milwaukee on Friday. Has Nashville's management said anything more detailed about what plans they have for you? - No, they have called and greeted me welcome to the club and I'll start in Milwaukee. Then we'll take it from there. "I have not said"How has the season in the AHL been for you? - It was a little sluggish at first, but it has gotten better and better. I've learned the game on smaller rink now and look isytorna better. What about the information that you are on your way home to Sweden and Brynäsgatan after this season? - I have not said. I do not know where the data comes. I have a year left on my NHL contract, so it's not true. Now you get to play with Filip Forsberg, he knows you well? - Yes, and Milwaukee is also Patrick Cehlin and Magnus Hellberg. And in Nashville, I feel the Mattias Ekholm, so it feels safe. Järnkrok have 57 games in the AHL this season, made 36 points, 13 goals and 23 assists. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 Nobody will ever know if the rumors are true or not. The Wings aren't going to say bad things about him, and Jarnkrok isn't going to admit it because it would make him look bad. Hell, it might have come from his agent, not Jarnkrok. Agents have done things without their client's knowledge or permission before, so who knows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just because we all wanted a trade on D, doesn't mean that the deals were there. I saw a tweet yesterday that said the asking price from VAN on Edler was: Nyquist, high-end prospect, and a 1st. (How would you have felt about that trade nitf?) Later in the day there was a tweet that in reality, NONE of the VAN D were on the market. Not Edler, Not Bieksa. Not Garrison, Not Hamhuis. None of them. Sarcasm or not... if Holland wanted Meszaros all he would have had to do was offer an additional pick or a 2nd rounder. No need to move any prospect for him. I've said it before, and I'll say it again... NONE of the players moved yesterday are an upgrade over the players that we have or prospects we can call up from Grand Rapids. NOT A SINGLE ONE.

DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 Let's try this again. Legwand is not a scrub, nor is he necessarily just a rental. Jarnkrok hasn't proven anything and lots of prospects who are "for sure going to be great" never make it. "Can't miss" prospects miss all the time. Jarnkrok wasn't even a can't miss prospect. They didn't trade Datsyuk or Zetterberg. They traded a prospect. Breathe. How many good prospects that Holland has traded have done anything? Fleishchmann. If holland was willing to trade Jarnkrok for Legwand, he had a good reason. What makes more sense, there was some truth to the Brynas rumors, or Holland traded a guy he thought would make it in the NHL in a panic move? 2 Carman and wings4thecup06 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barrie 900 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 (edited) I'll weigh in on this... I like this trade. Legwand isn't a rental, he'll sign with his hometown team. David's got 4 good years left. Jarnkrok was drafted in 2010, is 23 in September, and hasn't even played a game in the NHL yet! He's still only in his first season in the AHL. He'll probably need another season in Grand Rapids before he's ready, making him 24 before he plays in the NHL. Then he'll need 80 games to see if he can play in the NHL or not, making him 25. In that time, Legwand can score 150 pts for us. It took Datsyuk and Zetterberg just 3 years to make the Red Wings after being drafted, Jarnkork is on year 4. Either Jarnkrok isn't good enough to make the Wings, or there's too many guy in front of him. Out of all the young guys in our organization, he's the one to go. If he was can't miss, he'd already be on the team. Edited March 6, 2014 by Barrie 1 Dave reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jarnkrok will make the Preds roster next season simply because he will be given a chance to do so, and all what we're feeling now will just be worse when we see Jarnkrok in the big league doing great.

Did he make it to franchise player? Losing Jarnkrok sucks, but he isn't the next Zetterberg. Zetterberg didn't touch the AHL. Jarnkrok's projections was 2nd line at best.

Jarnkrok will make the Preds roster next season simply because he will be given a chance to do so, and all what we're feeling now will just be worse when we see Jarnkrok in the big league doing great. Jarnkrok MIGHT make the Predators next season because they're a team in the bottom half of a stacked conference right now in a rebuild mode. He wouldn't help the Wings for at least the next 2 years, while Legwand will help now and assist us in getting to the post-season, where as we saw last year, anything can happen. I strongly believe that Legwand may re-sign, (purely based on knowing that he's a hometown guy) which further makes this a better deal. That would bolster our depth down the middle and allow us to play Pav and Hank together, which as we all know, makes for a killer top line (either with Nyqvist or Franzen on the wing). And if you think our strategy is so ridiculous, then how come we keep making the playoffs in a salary cap world where drafting and developing is everything and not doing so will leave you in a massive hole (see Toronto). Everyone here is so quick to complain that KH is trying to ruin this team's future, when actual fact is, everyone forgets what has gone before. 22 straight years. I can't even contemplate how they feel in TO, Calgary or Edmonton. Datsyuk going down for 3 weeks necessitated this move. And IMO its a good one. I for one am looking forward to seeing what Legwand can do to help our team down the stretch. For all Jarnkrok could have been, that is exactly that. Could. He's in a different conference, and most likely won't be having the kind of impact that most of us could imagine for a couple of years from now. In which time we may get lucky enough to keep playing playoff hockey for the next few years improving our team, while the Predators are playing golf. Seems like a good deal to me.

matthewdanna 143 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 I will also take a wait and see approach with this move... The fact that Pav, Z, Weiss, now Helm are out means we need a veteran center badly. We had no leverage at the trade deadline. I really like Eaves, but his time here is over. Jurco and Sheahan have played their way onto the team. Calle has been one of our most highly rated prospects for some time, but here are 3 things to consider: 1. he might go back to Europe (most people have mentioned this) 2. He is yearS away from making the Wings roster. Sheahan is better than him, so is Andersson (who might have to play wing or on the bench next year)... we have a ton of centers (when healthy) 3. He is tiny (5'11" (maybe) and 165 lbs)... how would that ever help us? The part of the trade that I dislike the most is the conditional pick that turns into a 2nd if we make the playoffs... It should have been a solid 3rd, that's it. Now if we do end up re-signing Legwand (not sure how likely that is) what do we do with our lines next year? We will have too many centers. Assuming Alfie comes back... Z-Pav-Alfie Nyquist-Helm-Mule Tatar-Sheahan-Jurco Weiss-Legwand-Abby Andersson-Miller ??????????????????? somebody else needs to go.
