Also Jarnkrok was fine here (he got PDO'D) and should have been re-signed to that deal he got in Toronto IMO. $2.1M is nothing really and think he could have helped shore up the bottom 6, either as C or RW

Tons of people thought he was a snap to slide in at C...I countered a few times that he has barely played C in the NHL at all

He had 22 pts in 42 games in 2020-21, but regressed to 22pts in 67 games last year, although I thought he looked in the playoffs (9 pts in 20 games).

Trocheck replaces Strome; Chytil's situation is really no different than last year and I don't really see any other C's on their roster at all. Chytil hasn't even turned 23 yet...I doubt anything would happen until next summer (or maybe if they went for a huge TDL splash like Toews)
