Proposal: Janmark

[Northernhawk]

must be resigned! He's been a tremendous addition, kudos to Bowman on this signing...at first it looked like a spot gap in the youth movement but now I think he's gotta be signed to a longer deal

Janmarks' good at hockey!

[hawksrule]

He's been very, very solid. Would be great as long as we don't overpay.

 

[Brightwing]

If they do it before the expansion draft, do they have to protect him?

 

[Kevin Musto]

I'm not necessarily in the re-sign Janmark camp.

I think if you can get a good return at the deadline, you do it.

 

[kmwtrucks]

trade him and you can always resign him next year. he has as many goals this year as all of last. Sell high

 

[Mrfenn92]

Trade him and revisit in the offseason

 

[HawksDub89]

Yep, this.

He’s been a really solid player, but he’s obviously replaceable and it would be amazing to turn him into a 1st.

That’s how you do a rebuild.

Jamark is a bandaid, not a future core player.

Agreed. Although, you can tell him, we want you here beyond next year, but we need assets as a rebuilding team. Trade him for a 2nd? and resign him in the offseason.

 

[Kevin Musto]

Absolutely. And he can make of that what he will, but it is the truth. This team still needs more rebuilding assets.

Only and only if he's for sure wanting to return and only if only the Hawks aren't a playoff team, gotta keep him if we're I. The playoffs...

If we are a playoff team then keep him for sure

 

[echlfreak]

I am all for re-signing Janmark. The question is if we do now, do we need to protect him in the expansion draft?

I'm with Musto a little on trading him for a good size return and then resign him in the off-season.

 

[Styles]

When healthy where does he draw into the lineup next year?

Kubalik-Toews-Suter
DeBrincat-Dach-Kane
Hagel-Strome-Kurashev
Janmark-Kampf-Shaw

Also I bet Nylander gets another look with the injury.

It all depends on what we can get for him I guess. If he keeps overachieving like this though you have to sell high.

 

[Fortyfives]

That line up is legit.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

I'm here. You trade him at the deadline and hope for the best in the summer. They have a forward logjam anyway when Dach comes back, and even moreso if Toews comes back.

Holy shit you're KBS again!

But yeah that's the thing. Dach, Toews, and Nylander come back into the fold next season. Maybe we bring in Reichel. Maybe Barratt steps up.

So I think if Janmark continues being productive, you just sell high on him. If you retain 50% on him, you really maximize your potential return.

 

[SimpleJack]

If Toews comes back and is himself id split the top 9 into this format:

XXX-Toews-Kubalik
XXX-Dach-Kane
DeBrincat-Strome-XXX

With those XXX options hopefully being Suter, Kurashev, Janmark(re-signed), Shaw, Hagel, and Nylander.

It’s the smart move to make

 

[Kevin Musto]

It’s the smart move to make

I think any contender would be highly interested in Janmark at a cap hit of $1,125,000. If he continues his scoring pace, that's the ultimate deadline rental. Could honestly net a 1st round pick if you look at last year's market.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

I think you just put 19 and 88 together and let them rack up points.

If they get a first for him at half retention it’s a great win. Offense with great defense can make that happen at his contract

 

[TheDoorDoctor]

Hopefully his offensive ability stay. With how hes playing hes is a very suitable Saad replacement

 

[hawksrule]

Absolutely. And he can make of that what he will, but it is the truth. This team still needs more rebuilding assets.

I mean, if you can get a 1st, then sure. But I'd rather have him than a random 3rd.

Yeah too many options, although there could be some trades in the off-season you never know. But something has to give, or otherwise we roll into season with 14 legit options and potential Barratt/Reichel/Entwistle trio knocking at the door.

The other issue is cap space. We have shitloads this off-season, but a year later Dach, Kubalik, Boqvist and Strome (according to capfriendly Kurashev too but last year his elc should've slid no?) all need new contracts. So Janmark would eat into that two if he's brought back at anything longer than a 1 year deal.

Janmark has been very good and a clear fit, but to commit to him would require some changes elsewhere in the lineup.

Let's see how it plays out.

Yep. And that's precisely why the Hawks should trade him.

Then try to re-sign him in the offseason, assuming the price/term isn't bananas.
