I saw the cap hit and thought it was a typical depth signing and then saw the term. Pretty unusual to see such term on a low cap deal. If he breaks out then Preds have a steal of the deal. I guess Calle went with job security.

Well his neighbor just signed a 6 year deal as well, so maybe that played into Filip's negotiations?
Regardless, I like it. If he has any more upside, it'll look like a steal. If not, that's pretty par for what he is.

Strangest contract.
Good for the Preds, though. He's still young enough to add to his game. Played some top-line last year, too.

I don't know if I've ever seen a contract with a cap hit that low carry that kind of term. Interesting.

Well, that's an interesting term.
Preds fans, what's the take on Jarnkrok? Do you consider him top-9 moving forward? Does he have the ability to move up in the lineup?
Seems like Poile really likes his game, given that term and, if he's right, that's a nice cap hit for the longhaul.

weird... I could see a 3 year 6 mill deal... but 6 years at 2 mill per???... steal for preds, odd decision by the Jarnkrok camp

The original, baby
That is the most Calle Jarnkrok contract I've ever seen. He's super reserved and understated.
Scored 16 goals this season while being one of our better penalty killers...if he doesn't improve at all, this is still a bargain deal...if he DOES improve, and I think he will, it's terrific.
