Nashville Predators Offseason: Quirky Thanksgiving Edition

Hit-or-miss dish

Stuffing is hit or miss. I know many who enjoy it, but much like corn, aren’t clamoring for it. There are various iterations of stuffing, but it’s not meant to be the star of the meal, and honestly, many could do without it. The thing about stuffing is, corn, mac n’ cheese, and even turkey can be enjoyed at different times and with different meals. You show me someone who eats stuffing at any other time than Thanksgiving, and I’ll show you a psychopath. I don’t make truth, I just speak it. My point is, it can’t stand on its own. It needs other dishes around it to be relevant.

Much like stuffing, Calle Jarnkrok, ole Iron Hook, is the same way for the Predators. He’s not going to make or break things, but without talent around him, his likelihood of producing is very low. There are moments where he can be succesful, where he contributes, yes, but there are many instances where he has disappeared. He’s been thrown on many different line combinations (like the various kinds and recipes of stuffing), but the results haven’t changed much. He’s a valuable member of the team, but the team around him is the reason he has value, pure and simple.
