Predators' Calle Jarnkrok: Secures long-term contract
Jarnkrok completed a six-year deal with the Predators on Wednesday worth $12 million.
Analysis:
Jarnkrok and the Predators were scheduled for an arbitration hearing, however the two sides reach a settlement. At an annual average value of just $2 million, this is a good signing for the Preds, as they get a 24-year-old coming off his first 30-point season at a relatively discounted rate. The center's fantasy upside is hurt slightly by his lack of ice time with the man advantage, but he does have the upside to earn power-play minutes in the long run.
