WingsallTheway 383 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 This is bad. Really bad. I'm nothing close to a Holland supporter but this was even unexpected. Trading away our only potential right handed scoring center in the whole system for a sup-par rental on a lost season. What a joke. So many other good players went for far less too. 1 Lazerbeam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 George Malik @georgemalik 1m Red Wings did indeed send Calle Jarnkrok to Nashville w/ Eaves, and 3rd, for Legwand http://dlvr.it/54YFXv There must have been truth to the rumors that Jarnkrok had threatened to leave for Brynas. That's all I know--there must have been truth to the rumors that Jarnkrok wanted to go back to Sweden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sean 19 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 we are getting a very reliable center for nothing+Jarnkrock+nothing. Would you like to trade Shaehan instead? Jurco? Tatar? Nyquist? Sproul/Oulette? Pulkkinen is the only only only option and we retained the best player out of Pulkkinen/Jarnkrock. I agree. To be honest, Ferraro instead of Jankrok would have made this trade nothing+nothing+nothing for a proven roster player. Maybe if we threw in McGrath... I liked Jankrok over Pulk, but that's just opinion until they hit the NHL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kylee 727 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 Atleast were really deep at center when healthy. Pav, Weiss, Legwand, Helm, Sheahan, Andersson, Glendening. When are we going to be healthy, in the middle of July? 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
achildr1 255 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 Now can we stop calling Holland one of the best GMs in hockey. Complete embarrassment. Exactly...thats for sure now. Ive given him the benifit of the doubt for far too long...the Quincey trade and now this...how can he not have seen how discounted all these guys were? Jarnkrok should have only went out in a trade for Kesler. Jarnkrok could be better than Legwand in two years...and Eaves...AND a third. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 Jarnkrok... I am speechless. Holland just lost me 100%. What direction are we even going? 4C's now over age 30... We had 1 good C prospect left in the minors and Holland ships him out!? What the f*** is he smoking. Jarnkrok could have gotten Vanek! Jesus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wingsfan72 198 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 And now the phase begins where Wings fans lie to themselves and play down Jarnkroks skill and potential to disguise this horrible trade as "bearable".

Son of a Wing 1,644 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 Legwand is a good 2-way player but come on. This trade is just brutal. UFA who turns 34 in a few months and has cracked 50 points twice.

brooklynsour 31 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 Its not just the prospect dickie... We got s*** in exchange..... Nothing, in the off season Holland will give him a stupid ridiculous offer and he'll get hurt or something...FML this is terrible move.... We needed a Dman first and foremost,,,, followed by a C but why trade such a high prospect CENTER FOR A GARBAGE OLD CENTER WHOSE A UFA,,,,,,, 1 Lazerbeam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
