Cheap Depth

would be a terrible move to trade Aho - I think its one of those situations where if a GM reaches out to Lou he'd trade him if he gets a reasonable return but hes not actively looking to move him.

No thanks on Olausson. COL doesn't really have anything in the way of prospects, or 2nd & 3rd round picks. I don't think NSH and COL are good trade partners.

Agreed. I was surprised to see Aho being moved in an isles AGM but I think the idea was to make room for Bolduc

General consensus from the isles fanbase is that Aho is notihing more than a 7D who is terrible defensively. He is very underrated. With the isles D core lacking puck movers it would be a big hit to move one of their best who also happens to provide value at both ends of the ice.

I could definitely see Sakic being interested, Aho brings intensity in all 3 zones.

Bemstrom is so frutrating. The skill is undeniably there. He murdered the AHL for months last season. He was so good in the SHL. For whatever reason, though, he just vanishes as soon as he gets to Columbus. I think he'd be a great candidate for a change of scenery swap or even just FC. There's no chance he's a Blue Jacket come September.
