There is no question that the Leafs have found something in the last 7 games that they have been searching for all year. It seems like everything is clicking up and down the lineup, especially in the forwards group. With the Leafs looking to add a defenseman at the deadline, this raises the question about which forward could be on the way out.
Now, eyes are turning to Calle Jarnkrok as the potential forward who could be traded out of Toronto. Jarnkrok is a solid player, and at a pretty nice AAV for the Leafs, however, that could be exactly what a team needs, and his value could bring what the Leafs need on defense.
Jarnkrok can play the penalty kill, and is a 20-goal scorer. He is a great depth option for any team looking to add scoring, while only carrying a 2.1 million AAV.
Some fans are getting excited about the potential of keeping Jarnkrok, and what the lineup could look like heading into the playoffs. With the Leafs having so much success without him, his return seems like a cherry on top.
It's obvious that the Leafs will have some roster changes coming up as the deadline approaches and players get healthy. We will see what Brad Treliving does.
As seen on Maple Leafs Daily - "The writing may already be on the wall for one forward in Toronto"
