Thread: Pens - Hey DALLAS FANS - what is Janmark worth IYO
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Adamitis</b></div><div>Since Dallas is going to want that....

I mean look at what I wrote, it’s not fair but Rust+ isn’t cutting it for a 3C. Pens have no other piece worth the prIce. It just doesn’t fit as a trade.

I’m a pens fan so, I recommend posting this as a Dallas team and seeing what I mean, they love him.</div></div>

Right it's not about what is perceived as market value or what a 'fair' offer is, Janmark is just a fan favorite and is really important to the team.
He can get labeled as a 3rd line center but he's a really good all around player and can play up and down the lineup.
I'm sure just like fans of all teams who overvalue their players DAL fans overvalue Janmark, but it's not like he's a scrap who's worth worth a 3rd round pick

Thread: Flyers June 21 - Simmonds to MIN for 1st rounder
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mardzy</b></div><div>How is it that Dallas has no center depth? The have Janmark that played center at some point, Seguin, Shore, Faksa, Hanzal, Dickinson, also Benn and Pitlick have played center. Also Spezza played mostly wing last year didn't he?</div></div>

I should probably say quality center depth. Even a lineup of Seguin, Faksa, Janmark, Shore at center doesn't look great. Janmark can play center, but if he plays 3c our top 6 wingers don't look great. Benn could play center, but is much more effective at wing. Ideally this year the centers would be Seguin, Spezza, Faksa, and Hanzal/Hintz.
All of those guys do play center, but whether or not they are quality centers or should be playing center is another issue. Plus, putting Spezza between Janmark and Radulov looks like a really good line.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>Yes but he also made significantly less than Spezza plus you are getting a more capable backup than Lehtonen</div></div>

He makes 2.5 mil more than Filppula did, which DAL is taking on 2.5 in Neuvirth. so it's the same. Lehtonen is free agent, and won't be resigned, and there are plenty of backup goalies in free agency this year. It'd be completely different if Spezza had 2 or more years left, but he has one year left and DAL is not in a cap crunch.
If DAL trades Spezza, they have to go out and sign a new center. Let's say that center (someone like Tyler Bozak) will get 4-5 million. Now DAL paid a 3rd round pick for 2.3 mil in cap space, which they still don't need.
DAL lacks depth at center, so they aren't likely to trade one, much less give up a 3rd round pick to give one up.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mardzy</b></div><div>He averaged 13 minutes ice time last year. With a year at 7.5 wouldn't it make sense for them to move on, especially if that meant the team could take on Kovalchuck, JVR, or even Voynov?</div></div>

If you don't just look at a stat line at the end of the season, you would know that Ken Hitchkock was the worst possible coach for Spezza, and utilizing him in a 4th line role, with an emphasis on defense, would most likely not produce more than 26 points. Spezza, along with a lot of other players, were set up for failure last year. The year before he had 50 points in 68 games, and the year before that 63 points in 75 games. So yes, he is getting up there in age, but he was set up failure last year and his 13 min and 26 points was not unexpected.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mardzy</b></div><div>What does a player with a 7.5 mil cap hit and 26 points bring in return?</div></div>

I'm not sure if you mean as far as what he brings to the team, or what he brings return in a trade, but I think he can still bring 40 points to a team. Put him between Janmark and Radulov, and he'll be just fine. He probably doesn't have much trade value, but I would rather keep him for 1 year than give up assets to get rid of him.
