Description

This is all based on the Bruins deciding that they would rather keep Ullmark than Swayman (not a chance imo).

The only rationalization I see behind this is if the Bruins think Bussi is ready for full-time backup minutes, and they believe that Sillinger would be capable of becoming a big piece of the core group of guys.

*This is just the base of the trade; More can be added from either side to balance out*

Columbus may need a goalie yes, but not at the expense of the weakest position on their team. I don't like this for Columbus and I don't think their fans would either

My thought process was by the time they are ready to compete (1-2 years), Fantilli *should* be a 1C, and Roslovic will have developed into the perfect 2C. You still have Jenner for at least three more seasons as well. Just food for thought but thanks for the feedback!

I’m listening. I think some other minor pieces on both sides, and it would be contingent on being able to move Elvis, but I’m listening.

Roslovic is turning 27 in January. He's done developing and he's a poor 2C who probably isn't going to be re-signed unless he has some kind of massive improvement under Babcock.

Sillinger remains a very important part of the future for the Jackets until someone young takes over the second top 6C spot behind Fantilli.

Isn't goalie the weakest position on their team?
