absolutely thrilled with this acquisition. If there was one player out there I wanted them to get, it's Jarnkrok ... he'll fit in like a glove. Smart and versatile player, good 200 ft game, can chip in offensively, kills penalties, can play up and down the lineup ... he just screams "Sutter" to me. There's a lot of things that Treliving can and should be criticized for, but IMO he deserves a lot of credit for adding Toffoli and Jarnkrok. This group of players has earned those kind of moves. Hard not to get carried away looking at that lineup ... so many options, so much depth.
price was steep, but he had a good market for a reason. With agents Lindholm and Markstrom, I'm also optimistic when it comes to re-signing him in the summer.
