sputman 1,268 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 No, but Legwand does. Poile just took Kenny out to the woodshed. But what I'm saying is Legwand may have wanted to come here, but he didn't pick the players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 If it's true that Jarnkrok is 99.99% likely to jet back to Sweden, than I feel a bit better. But I swear, if I see one damn game with him in a Predators jersey.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brooklynsour 31 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 If Jarnkrok is indeed leaving for Sweden it's a good deal. Otherwise I stay pissed. I hadn't heard anything about him leaving until today honestly. Obviously he won't wanna stay with the preds... If I was him I'd leave for Sweden now till his entry contract is over Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 McKenzie on TSN is agreeing with what Malik was saying about Jarnkrok and Brynas. Apparently he's preparing to go back to SEL next season, interesting if true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 Everyone keeps saying Legwand is declining. His stats are remarkably consistent, and the last few years he's been right at about 50 points each time. This year he should crack it again. 1 MabusIncarnate reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
achildr1 255 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 almost any center including Legwand can play wing. Most of the wings cannot play center. And we need a center now! Is this so difficult to get? Yea...its very difficult. Unless Jarnkrok was trying to be Radulov...i would rather us miss the playoffs and keep Jarnkrok than trade him for a pittance. Its not worth losing a guy like that to try to make the playoffs without Z, Pav, possibly Helm now and all our other daily injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Kingdom 4 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 Bob McKenzie on TSN saying that reports are Jarnkrok is supposed to be going back to Sweden with a deal to play there next season. If that's true, that's why he was included in the deal. So much whining and crying for a player that may not have seen the light of day in Detroit. Get over it, kids, prospects come and go. Some succeed, some don't. And the Wing have had plenty over the years that were rated high and when they played in the NHL were duds. It happens. 1 Dave reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 It would be nice if Jarnkrok fails to report to his new team. Then I'll have immediate satisfaction instead 1 brooklynsour reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MabusIncarnate 5,343 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 I think people are a bit quick to stomp on the panic button here. What a lot of you aren't considering is Jarnkrok's verbal desire to return to Europe and play hockey over there. If that is the case down the line, Eaves and a 3rd for Legwand isn't bad, especially if Legwand re-signs here. Look at how many we have injured and Eaves still barely makes the line-up. We have a lot of players that can fill in his role. A 3rd might equate to a bottom 6 forward in 5-6 years, the rarity of getting a gem in the 3rd doesn't outweigh the risk. A lot of this decision was based around Jarnkrok potentially pulling a Kovalchuk and bailing out of the NHL system. If that happens, a lot of you are gonna feel better about this deal. I'm assuming management knows more about this scenario than we do. Take a deep breath, this isn't the end of the world. 6 BottleOfSmoke, DannyD, Travis and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 So if he goes to Sweden...how does that work out for nashville and can he come back to detroit at some time? No. With transfer agreements and such, he'd be a Euro prospect for Nashville. 1 jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wingsfan72 198 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 Even if Jarnkrok IS leaving for Sweden next year this is still a HUGE overpayment. Way too much of a risk. Eaves a third and Ferraro would have been more than fair. If he decides he likes it in Nashville this trade is very likely going to haunt us for years.

achildr1 255 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 Why does that matter lol It means that the Preds had no leverage to command more for him...just like Iginla last year...Legwand decides where he goes. And we still got fleeced. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightfall 871 Report post Posted March 5, 2014 And now the phase begins where Wings fans lie to themselves and play UP Jarnkroks skill and potential to disguise this as a horrible trade. Fixed it for you. We have way too many people thinking that Jarnkrok was a top tier talented prospect. The fact of the matter is that he wasn't. He was a above average rated prospect with a C level probability of success. I have watched this guy in Grand Rapids, and while he is good, he isn't elite by any stretch of the imagination. 2 Travis and derblaueClaus reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
