Calle Jarnkrok re-signs with the #Preds 6-year, $12 million deal



http://predators.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=890154

It is a six-year, $12 million contract. The contract will pay him $1.7 million in 2016-17, $1.8 million in 2017-18, $2.1 million in 2018-19, $2.2 million in 2019-20 and 2020-21, and $2 million in 2021-22.

I don't mind the term because the AAV is ridiculosly cheap.

 

[gratefulpred]

Wow! And I thought DP only robbed general managers. Nice term and very cap friendly assuming he does not poop the bed

 

[SavageSteve]

Honestly that's a very good deal and now allows them to legitimately peruse luxuries that present themselves in the trade market.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Strangest contract.

Good for the Preds, though. He's still young enough to add to his game.

 

[RaiderDoug]

2 mil a year for Jarnkrok is an absolute steal.

 

[SavageSteve]

So who is the 'another signing at 1PM' being alluded to in this tweet??

 

[Drake744]

How in the name of Roman Josi did this just happen??

 

[token grinder]

David Poile has lost his touch....

sarcasm


Even if Jarnkrok doesn't improve, that is a good deal.

Roman Yoshi will be along in a bit to tell you about why it's a horrible overpayment

Honestly, when they said "long term" with Jarnkrok i worried that meant having to buy UFA years at a higher than desirable term, but even if Jarnkrok gets absolutely no better, this is a good contract. Given that he probably WILL get better, however, this is a steal.

 

[PeterLax]

6 years has to be related to Forsberg's, they're attached at the hip.

Definitely a steal if he improves, and if not, that's still market value.

Yeah, I was gonna say, the relationships of him, Filip and Ekholm clearly seems to be as close as they're made out to be.


BTW, all this for a washed-up Legwand? Thanks Detroit.

I'm guessing depth\Milwaukee F

If it's an NHL player of even semi-notable repute, someone usually knows right away, due to agents\etc.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

FYI...for all the cap doom and gloomers, we have $8 mil in space right now. With only a backup not counted for.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Probably Mazanec.

 

[BonMorrison]

Love how the Swedish bromance factored into this deal.

 

[SavageSteve]

Probably Mazanec.

Maz is signed for this year already....

Wonder if they have a Johansen extension worked out already?

 

[nomorekids]

Probably Mazanec.

He signed weeks ago.

There have been lot of 6 year deals going out this summer. GMs are trying to lock up players through the next CBA negotiation. I don't know if they are including language that would prevent the players from playing I'm other leagues but it seems like positioning to prevent another work stoppage.

He signed weeks ago.

Ah...I was reading the chart wrong. Looks like he has a year. I'll guess that it's an additional backup.

Stefan Elliott perhaps?

That's a good point, but doesn't the CBA run out in 2022, so pretty much just when these contracts complete? I'm not sure about the playing in other leagues, but it could be if they're expecting something more favorable in the next CBA.

 

[Deko]

Just wanted drop by and say that in terms of length and AAV this is probably the weirdest contract in the post-lockout (04-05) era.

 

[SavageSteve]

Stefan Elliott perhaps?

Maybe... I guess we'll have to see what sort of wizardry GMDP has made in addition at 1PM...
