Who has more trade value: David Kampf or Calle Jarnkrok?
The Leafs Nation: Jay Rosehill, when asked who would be more valuable in a trade for the Toronto Maple Leafs: David Kampf or Calle Jarnkrok?
Nick Alberga: “Let me phrase it this way, if you’re another team, who are you more attracted to acquiring? Is it David Kampf or Calle Jarnkrok, Rosie?
Rosehill: “I was never, like, super high on, on Kampf. He just seemed really quiet. Which, okay, you could say that’s good. He’s good in the D zone and good on face-offs, and this and that. It’s like, fine, but like, if we’re talking about a team that wants to make a run, who’s right there, I think I need a little bit more.
He’s got a pretty hefty contract, too. One of those things, I was kind of surprised (Leafs GM Brad) Treliving signed him to, with his AAV. And he doesn’t really move the needle for me.
Jarny, I’ve always liked. But when you’re getting up there in age and it’s hard to be dynamic and the league’s getting as good as it is, it’s kind of hard to, you know, invoke your will on the game as well.
Which one do I like more? I think Jarny is able to play through the lineup a little bit more. I think Jarny has the kind of skill to jump up in the lineup and maybe play on the second line type of thing if need be. But again, we’re talking about them in this position for a reason.
