'SUPER EXCITED'

A locker-room is a lot like a family.
Tight-knit. Devout.
A brotherhood, for life.
Calle Jarnkrok always dreamed of it happening, but the reality of now sharing the same sweater as cousin Elias Lindholm and buddy Jacob Markstrom is a feeling he can't shake.
"I think we said that to each other for the last eight, nine years, to be honest with you," Jarnkrok said of playing with his own flesh and blood. "We never really thought it was going to happen.
"It's really cool that it's going to happen now."

Jarnkrok hails from Markstrom's hometown of Gavle, Sweden, and played two seasons with Lindholm in Brynas of the SHL from 2011 to 2013.
Those are the facts, beyond family.
But now, look.
"It makes it a little bit easier, for me for sure," he added of the move to a new team. "They're two of my best friends. I think that makes it a little easier with the transition and everything. Other than that, I'm going to come in and be myself and try to do what I can to help this team be better."

Jarnkrok, who was acquired from the Seattle Kraken for three draft picks Wednesday, arrives in Calgary with more than good genes.
He has the pedigree, too.
The 30-year-old forward is what Flames GM Brad Treliving describes as a 'three-position' player.
He can easily deploy at centre, both wings - and probably defence or goalie if you asked him to - and brings an element to the Flames that completely changes the dynamic up front.
The 5-foot-11, 186-lb. Swede is now the sixth member of the IKEA-bearing nation to grace our city - furthering the Nordic storyline that has helped turn the Flames into legitimate Selke, Vezina, and most importantly, Cup contenders.
Jarnkrok, too, figures to play a key role in that quest.
His versatility as a reliable, defensive forward is the primary selling point, but he can also contribute offensively and play on both the powerplay and penalty kill combos with aplomb.
"I think that's been part of my game here for a while, that I can play both left wing, centre and right wing," Jarnkrok said. "Most of the season I've been playing on the wing. I don't think I have a spot that I'm more comfortable with to be honest with you."
"To me, he's a fixer," added Treliving. "He's a defensive fixer on any line that can chip in offensively.
"We think he can touch a bunch of different parts of the game, he gives us more depth - and we like the player, so we're excited to add him."
Jarnkrok, who spent the first eight years of his career with the Nashville Predators, was plucked by the Kraken in the Seattle Expansion Draft last year. He was largely playing in a top-six role, and in 49 games in the PNW, he tallied 12 goals and 26 points.
But the biggest draw?
The edge.
That insatiable will to win that's followed him around his entire career.
"He really fits our DNA as a guy who's ultra-competitive," Treliving said. "We think he can touch a bunch of different parts of the game, he gives us more depth and we're excited to add him."
Jarnkrok will fly to Calgary on Thursday morning before getting his first look at his new digs at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
And the excitement is palpable.
He's coming from a team in Seattle that was well out of the playoff race to one that has a real shot of not only going deep, but winning it all.
"Super excited," he said. "I've been watching a lot of games this year when Calgary's been playing. Played against them a couple times. They're a very good team, very hard to play against.
"I'm super excited to be part of the Flames."
