The Official 2026 Off-Season Thread: Revenge of the Nerds

Heh Jarnkok didn’t even wait for the exit interviews to bolt. good riddance


I honestly struggle to think of any other Leaf player I’ve seen in my lifetime who managed to hang onto a roster spot and regular spot in the lineup for multiple seasons while being more of a useless, bland complete nonentity than Calle Jarnkrok.

It defies belief that he was paid $8.4M by this team for his services and actually played out the full 4-year contract Dubas signed him to without being waived, demoted, bought out or dumped.

I really hope that fraud Dubas signs him again this summer. I’d laugh so hard.

The perfect "Just a Guy" player. Absolutely insane he was able to ride out that entire contract as an NHLer.

He digs in and stands in the right spots.
 
Maybe they’d go in another direction anyway and that’s fine but I don’t think I really get talking to 55 people and not Cassidy or Woodcroft.
 
Just so I have it all straight: Friedman says Pavelski is in the 5 and maybe Gruden or Giordano but those aren’t confirmed.

LeBrun says Pavelski, Woodcroft, Roy.

Correct?
 
So basically Woodcroft was part of the initial ~55 people they talked to "informally" but didn't necessarily make it past that point? So much conflicting information being thrown around. It's awesome.
