20. Alexander Radulov did Dallas a huge favour, accepting blame for his first-period benching last Thursday against Los Angeles. The last thing the Stars needed was more controversy, especially as GM Jim Nill works on repairing the relationships with Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin. According to a couple of sources, Nill wants to show them the last few weeks “are not who the Dallas Stars are.” If Radulov reacts negatively, it is another five-alarm blaze. Instead, they recover with a great win over Winnipeg and get their schedule break at a perfect time. No one needs a refresh and reset more than the Stars do — it’s an excellent opportunity for a mental clean-out.

21. In addition to Valeri Nichushkin and Brett Ritchie, Dallas is also dangling Mattias Janmark. A couple of years ago, they felt his injuries removed sorely needed speed from the roster. Janmark scored 14 even-strength goals in 2015–16, and, after returning from injury, 13 more in 2017–18. He’s got just three in 49 games this season. He’s better than he’s shown.

Pretty decent player, don't know why they'd move him tbh.

He forgot how to score goals this year, seemingly.

 

[Kcb12345]

Interesting. Very interesting, but not that surprising.

He's still super fast he just can't get anything done with it really

I added it to the title, but also of note is the first line: "In addition to Valeri Nichushkin and Brett Ritchie"

Can Janmark play center or is he strictly a winger?

Can Janmark play center or is he strictly a winger?

He was always a center back in Sweden, and a really good one. No idea if he works as a center in the NHL though.

He hasn't played any center with Dallas, but as the poster above said, he was a center for a long time.

The team acquiring him should be expecting him as a winger.

Eh, I'd hope the Penguins would try him as their 3C if they'd get him

If the rumors of Dallas being interested in Brassard are true, I could see a deal there based around Brassard for Janmark if the Penguins are confident in Janmark being able to play center (or at least think the risk/reward is low enough where it's worth it to try).

Detroit should get Janmark back.

 

[PullHard]

Detroit should get Janmark back.

Something around Nyquist and Janmark? Dallas adding to meet in the middle, value-wise

 

[CanuckGame39]

Nichushkin has negative value with that contract.

I would love to see him in Vancouver to see if we can get him to turn it around, but not at those dollars and term. Too risky.

Pretty much what i was thinking as well?

 

[Volica]

2013 draft pick?! Brad Treliving's ears are ringing. This guy was an overager eh?
Calgary is become a Swedish hub, so we're open for more.

 

[David Suzuki]

Janmark would be awesome for the Habs in the 4C role.

 

[Kcb12345]

Your GM signed Roussel, Eriksson, Beagle, and Gudbranson to big deals. I don't think any contract can scare him off.

Yep, 3M for another year is such a risky deal to take on.

Absolutely one of the worst contracts in the league, bar none.

Nill should be fired for that contract alone.

I just had this image in my head of Jim Benning in a Braveheart getup attempting to conquer a disciplined army of UFA's.

 

[kanucks25]

Pretty much what i was thinking as well?

Why would you be interested in trading for a 26 year-old 3rd liner for Nyquist?

Aim for a low 1st or equivalent prospect.

 

[RSPens]

Janmark probably isn't the answer for the Pens 3C issue...but he is a fast winger that can't seem to score...sounds familiar. Maybe he can help Malkin out of his funk. How is Janmark defensively?

 

[pspot]

If leafs could make other moves i'd be down for Zaitsev for Nichushikin

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I do think Dallas manages to get both Stone and Duchene from Ottawa at a big price in order to make the playoffs.

 

[QcFlames12]

I would be interested in Nich to be honest. I think there is more there, everytime i watch him play I feel as if he does all the little things right. Could become a very good third liner in the right situation.

Dont know what i would be willing to give though, because if we dealt for him Dallas would have to take back at minimum equal cap.

 

[ManofSteel55]

I feel like they could get some intersest in Janmark.
