On Wednesday night, the Calgary Flames acquired Calle Jarnkrok from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for three draft choices. On Thursday morning, our colleagues at Daily Faceoff discussed the trade on the Daily Faceoff Show.
Mike McKenna noted that he liked the acquisition, but thought the price was a bit high. I don’t entirely agree with him (and I’ll explain why).
McKenna liked the acquisition, but had this criticism:
I didn’t like the acquisition cost, though. Calgary is really running thin on their prospect pool, in terms of draft picks. They traded away a second and a third for this move, essentially, to bring in Jarnkrok.
