He was very effective for Dallas, 5th in scoring for Chicago, tied for 2nd in power play goals, great 2 way player.

What's not to get here?

This is a power play move all the way.

You see, you don't need to fire Steve Spott and bring in a coach who can architect a competitive power play. Just grab a good PP forward who you can have stand there and wait for the puck to put itself in the net.

Dont see how it’s that much of a sellers market. Seeing Jeff Carter go for that low as a veteran center and now Janmark to Vegas for another cheap deal. It’s almost a buyers market for solid centers.

Janmark's had a good rebound season for Chicago, but he's not a true center and it's a relatively steep rental price when you consider that he doesn't have the long body of work of a typical guy that attains that kind of draft haul.

When you have a dearth of forwards who can even slot into center, a crunch center will do.

I saw Janmark going for more than a 2nd and a 5th flip. Vegas is going to use em on the 3rd line. And that’s a damn good role for him on a loaded Vegas squad. He could make some teams second line for Christ sakes. And only a second and a 5th? Wow.....

Third line is where forwards have gone to die in Vegas. As a Vegas fan, I hope this works.

That is a very high price for Janmark. Good player who will help them nonetheless.

GMs don't think like fans.
Yeah I'm sure that 2022 5th rounder will be a world beater
