Wednesday turned out to be a rather important day for our beloved local hockey team.
Firstly, the tricky contract of Calle Jarnkrok was completed. The young Swede took a big step forward in his development, and showed a bit more offense in last year’s campaign. Jarnkrok’s deployment has been varied over the past two seasons, and he’s spent time on the top line and the third line. He also helped push Derek Roy, Olli Jokinen, and Cody Hodgson down the depth chart and out of town. He has taken his spot.
