No. 2: Utah Hockey Club
Utah also has a ton of cap-space and if they think they're a legitimate team after a hot start, they may be willing to make a trade.
After spending the past few years playing in a collegiate stadium, the relocated Arizona Coyotes are now the brand new Utah Hockey Club.
With a sold-out building every night, the vibes are at an all-time high for this franchise and the play on the ice has reflected that. At this rate, the team is projected to be a playoff team, and after what we've seen with recent expansion teams, not only wouldn't it be shocking if the team made the playoffs, but it wouldn't surprise me if they won a Stanley Cup.
I know that's crazy, but I think Utah could be intrigued to make a ton of trades this year to give their brand new fans even more to cheer for.
Alex Kerfoot is Utah's third-line centre, and is very familliar with Jarnkrok, having played together in the past, so they could look at a reunion. Utah has a few young players on the roster, so another veteran could benefit the bunch.
The Leafs are essentially just looking for a salary-dump so even a seventh-rounder in return for a salary-dump could be all it takes to bring Jarnkrok to Utah.
