Columbus Blue Jackets

Couple things.

I personally want nothing to do with that markstrom trade. My god that would be asinine for a young team to move all that for a 34 year old goalie.

The Ottawa trade I don’t hate right away. But after further glance 2 big things. I don’t see us moving jenner and gudbranson in one trade. The team dads are beloved by the lockerroom and hold the team accountable. Second point is batherson and chychrun are kinda redundant. Batherson js a nice middle 6 winger which we have a good amount of. And chychrun only having one year left is a rental and probably won’t resign with us. (Plus mateychuk may be ready for the nhl next season)

More likely provorov is moved at the draft, a vet is signed in the off season and mateychuk pushes for a spot competing with Jake bean for the 5th slot on the third pair.

I will give you credit for thinking outside the box but I wouldn’t advise either trade.

Sens are giving up the two best players in that trade lmao

Don’t think it makes sense for the jackets to trade for markstrom. He’s 34 and only has 2 years left on his deal. Also don’t like the lindholm signing. He doesn’t fit in with the jackets timeline and they could be in a position to take lindstrom in the draft. With lindstrom they would already have fantilli, sillinger, Voronkov, and kuraly down the middle so lindholm wouldn’t be necessary

Agreed on all accounts. I’m hoping bean isn’t back with the jackets next year however

I feel like im in the minority of our fanbase, but i dont mind Bean as the 3LD. I think hes better than he gets credit for and provides pretty solid depth.
