Description

I’d go 11/7 for the playoffs. That way the minutes can be managed better in the back end.

Gavrikov is the perfect partner for Bouchard. Braun is a reliable 7th defenceman who’s a decent PK option. Harrington is a cheap big defenceman who also can chip in on the PK if needed

Sprong is peaking now, which is why I expect Francis may sell high. Stick him with Drai and Nuge I see a lot of goals.

Braun would be a good pickup but a 5th TWO drafts away and a 6th THREE drafts away is an underpayment.

Munzenberger is a young guy and a 3rd round pick just 2 years ago, but has been very poor at Univ of Vermont for 2 yrs, so Im not sure he adds anything to the deal.

Braun gets a 4th in all likelihood, and maybe that 4th is in 2024, but its just a weak offer. (As far as Patreick Brown - EDM probably can have him for free, dont know why they would want him, but...)

I don't know about the "they like Finns" comment, since we have exactly two Finns on the roster and only one other in the system (plus Luoto in Cleveland, but he's not a prospect and he's here because of Laine). If anything, it feels like Jarmo avoids Finns. But I could definitely see that deal working for Columbus.

Could see that working for the Jackets.

Flip-flop the years of the picks (i.e. 2023 1st, 2024 3rd), and I'd agree.
