Description

Fairly even value IMO and checks boxes for both teams. Columbus gets a top 6 center which Jarmo wants, and a solid RHD back to replace Jones, plus a Pick for the rebuild. Caps upgrade their Blue line, add needed winger depth and free up some cap space.

The only debatable part of this to me is how high is the pick. What are your thoughts?

It makes sense for Washington, but not CBJ.

Yeah I don’t think it does. Not for a rebuilding team like the jackets. We needed the center but not a center who is late 20s trending down and locked up to early- mid 30s at 8 million. We should trade him for futures and players who are younger and have room to grow.

If CBJ is rebuilding they’ll be rebuilding for a very long time. Most of their players are 26 and younger. Just means your trading young players for younger players to start a new cycle.

Or keep your players under 22. And move the older guys like Jones and werenski but keep guys who add to a positive environment like bjorkstrand and Atkinson. Add to your younger core. Just because your trading a 26 year old doesn’t mean your gonna be in a long rebuild. I’m missing the logic here. You don’t have to pull a sabers and literally trade everything not strapped down. Look at how that does. No leadership established and young guys flounder in the wind.
