I don’t think Jarnkrok would be on our fourth line when guys like Jank play on our third. Krok would have been our 6th or 7th best forward last year.I think the bigger thing is trading our best prospect for a fourth liner.
Like, I'd be fine to trade Poulin for something. But Jarnkrok. No way.

Many people love the points per 82 games stat; Jarnkrok scored at a 44 point pace last season. Krok scored 2 less points than Kap last year, but he scored more goals.
I’m not advocating to make the trade, but it seems you constantly overrate Pens’ players, while criticizing every other team and non-Pens’ player.
I haven't heard much good about Poulin of late. He's not progressed as I'd have hoped. He's disappointing me! Very poor beginning to the year in juniors.I don’t think Jarnkrok would be on our fourth line when guys like Jank play on our third. Krok would have been our 6th or 7th best forward last year.

Haha I’m not agreeing with the trade proposal, but it seems strange that you defend guys like Jank and Rodrigues but criticize Jarnkrok. That’s all.Nashville Predators: Calle Jarnkrok Should Initially Start on Taxi Squad
Jarnkrok had 9 points on the PP last year.
I like Jarnkrok, but trading Poulin for a 29 year old who has likely peaked and is a 4th liner is very different then moving a nothing prospect in Hallander and a 1st for a 23 year old that is cost controlled and was heavily scouted by our organization.
But, it seems you always miss the grey and always want things to be black and white.

Hallander was always ranked in our top 3 prospects, so he’s not really a nobody quite yet since he’s only a year older than the great Poulin.
Rodrigues and Jankowski literally cost us nothing.
Again, I wouldn’t trade him for Jarnkrok either. But I think it’s odd to say Krok is only a fourth line player when you see some of the guys we have playing on our third line. That’s all.
I doubt an equivalent player to Evan Rodrigues would be playing on their top line with one small injury in the top 6.Well, I mean he is on a much less deeper team playing on the 4th line. So.
I doubt Evan Rodrigues would be playing on their top line with one small injury in the top 6.
Also, you act like he was a fourth line player all last year. He got demoted to the fourth line later in the season because he went cold scoring. But Nashville actually did something about it, and didn’t continue to keep playing him third line minutes despite being a black hole offensively, something we should have done with McCann.
Also, since KK played on Toronto’s third line, does that mean he’s only a third line player?

Literally they each cost the team 700k.Rodrigues and Jankowski literally cost us nothing.
I'm at a point where I am ok to just let it unfold. If they keep McCann at wing for good, fine, let's just see how Jankdizzle works with that line. I like the idea of Lafferty getting a better shot with those two so I want to see Laff get that shot. Blue will keep showing the blind idiots he's way better than they've been using him and they'll keep ignoring it and I'm all out of f***s for that heading into the weekend.Literally they each cost the team 700k.
I can't say much for Jank, but Roddy Rod was solid in every single shift as a Penguin and he's back even cheaper to us. If you're going to complain about that, then your agenda is clear.

He really dropped off last season. Not sure if there is any contextual reasons

Bold prediction Riikola is a regular starter by seasons end.
Hes getting PP time in camp and there are new voices in the coaches room.
Yeah I'm hopeful. Some of the old coaches may have signed off on or even advocated for JJ. Coaches always think they can fix guys. A refresh, even if you lose a good coach like Gonch, is needed now and then.
We just have to convince the coaching staff that Riikola is some aged journeyman reclamation project. He'll never sit again.
