Description

I'm probably undervaluing Jarnkrok here, but assume that he gets a couple of middling draft picks (or one of Anaheim's three 2024 third round picks). The return is not important, so don't fixate on that issue.

Pontus Holmberg could be the 13th forward instead of Nic Robertson. Or both could be on the main roster if you want to chance putting Gambrell on waivers. (Note that the difference between Robertson's cap hit and that of every other player on the 50-man roster is less than the cap space shown here.)

Jarnkrok is a high price to pay for cap compliance, but to me, it makes more sense to trade him than T. J. Brodie.

Connor Timmins is retained because other than William Lagesson, I don't see anyone promotable from the Marlies in case of injury.

I think that Occam's Razor is instructive here.

Of course, this may all be moot by Wednesday.

jarnkrok to a contending team for a late 3rd. if not he will be moved for next to nothing imo. also the leafs shouldve kept rubins, also i would waive gambrell and play holmberg, he needs to get experience, hes a very needed player down the road esp with his low cap hit

I think lafferty and Timmins are gone

And if u look its actually kind of smart to do so even with Murray on LTIR

As it allows them to have a 21 man team

Lafferty especially might be considered expendable as they got Holmberg, Robertson, Steeves or u can sign someone cheaper rn who can perform around the same Suter, Comtois, Gregor, Heinen, Erne, Motte, Kiviranta, Bailey, etc.

Meanwhile Timmins has no spot and Klingberg took his job on PP2

Cause when u listen to Matthews quote on Jarnkrok and when u consider the history Brad had with Jarnkrok (paid a chunk to get him back in CGY) I dont see a move yet.
