On the third day of free agency, the Toronto Maple Leafs announced the signing of Calle Jarnkrok to a four-year $8.4 million deal. His salary cap hit will be $2.1 million a season.
Jarnkrok gives the Toronto Maple Leafs another depth forward who is solid defensively. He consistently scores between 25-35 points and is the perfect replacement for Ondrej Kase.
The 30-year-old Swede, who will be 31 when the season starts, gives Toronto plenty of experience. He has played 574 regular season games and 75 playoff games. Toronto GM Kyle Dubas has been retooling the team’s depth this off-season, and Jarnkrok is a great addition.
