LA CBJ Deadline Deals

that 3rd would need to be a 1st for Roy. But we best be keeping Robertson also.

I strongly doubt LA will sell as well. They are too good of a team.

LA declines, way too little for an integral member of their team, especially with retention and you see him as a top pairing defenseman.

Jackets shouldn't move Kuraly if this is the return. Move him at the next trade deadline if we aren't planning to resign him.

This. He's an assistant captain, dynamic grinder of a player, and a consistent player for a young and inconsistent team. He's worth more internally than a 4th would be. We probably just keep him until next year, or extend him long term for cheap.

the jackets wouldn’t do this but I would as a kuraly hater/nonbeliever

given good health and one of Dumais/brindley making the 2024-25 roster, kuraly should be a scratch every night next season. he’s already not good. so a fourth is a win imo.
