Initial Creation Date: Aug. 25, 2023
Published: Aug. 25, 2023
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Have to get a goalie through waivers and Jones is the best candidate, Jarnkrok $$$ make sense to move instead of a Defenceman, with the addition of Bertuzzi and Domi he should not be top 6 and by moving him they don't have to move Brodie or a younger player as a sweetener.
Trades
TOR
  1. 2024 3rd round pick (PIT)
ANA
  1. Järnkrok, Calle
Additional Details:
Jarnkrok has value and should be able to get at least a third round pick back...not sure of what team he goes to though

I don't disagree that Jarnkrok has some value in a vacuum, but real quick, here are the teams that, as we speak, have $2.1M in cap space available:

-Philadelphia
-Arizona
-San Jose
-Columbus
-Detroit
-Nashville
-Buffalo
-Chicago
-Anaheim
-Montreal*
-Florida*
-Pittsburgh*

Don't forget, Jarnkrok has a 10-team NTC. We have no way of knowing exactly which 10 teams are on it, but let's just say he wants to play on a winner and doesn't want to play on a team that finished bottom-10 last year. Unfortunately, of those 12 teams up there, 8 of them were bottom-10, leaving you Nashville, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, and Florida.

I'll make the assumption that the Panthers and Penguins aren't necessarily going to go out of their way to waste their LTIR space on a bottom-6 guy at this point - since they won't be accruing cap space til the deadline like non-LTIR teams, those dollars are more precious and probably get hoarded til much closer to the deadline.

That leaves you the Sabres & Predators. Buffalo has more young forwards than they currently have roster spots for all of them, so I don't think a 32 year old Jarnkrok really appeals to them. Maybe Nashville likes Calle, though - he's played there before, and he's clearly better than a lot of what they currently have penciled in to their bottom-6. But, y'know, if they're you're only option to move this cap that you NEED to move to be compliant, you surely can't really expect them to give you full value, right? After all, isn't getting cap compliant valuable enough in its own right? Especially when you're moving a guy that's not really integral to your team...I mean, if you want to move TJ Brodie, I GUESS someone would pay for *him*, but then you have to play Connor Timmins every night, right?

Why even worry about Jones. He's a Marlie if he clears waivers, and his cap doesn't affect the Leafs, unless he promoted because of injury.

Such a great and factual analysis.
Should be mandatory reading by CapFriendly contributors. Moral of the story.....M NTCs, NTCs and MMCs have meaning. If trading by trading a 5m player, and replacing him with a 1.1m player, you're not going to be as good.
