Description
Trade Markstrom, Vladar, 1st round pick 2024, and other 1st round pick 2024 (via Vancouver) to Columbus for Elvis Merzlikens and 1st round pick 2024

Reasoning:
-Calgary gets more security in drafting Tij Iginla (or any other prospect they find more desirable at 4th overall); Elvis Merzlikens may benefit from a change in scenery
-Columbus gets two 1st round picks to bring in more prospects; Jakob Markstrom also provides an upgrade in goaltending; they can keep Vladar or flip him to another team to get more draft picks

New goalie tandem
Merzlikens/Wolf*

Forward lineup (if Tij Iginla makes the roster)
Huberdeau/Zary/Sharangovich
Iginla/Kadri/Kuzmenko
Mangiapane/Backlund/Coleman
Pospisil/Rooney/Coronato

Defence pairs
Weegar/Andersson
Kylington*/Miromanov
Hanley/Pachal

Subs: Pelletier*, Klapka*, Okhotiuk*

This trade only works if Markstrom waives his NMC and Merzlikens does not have Calgary as part of his M-NTC

Jackets decline. Don’t see them being interested in markstrom as he’s 34. They most likely want to get rid of Elvis but not at the expense of 4OA.

Jackets easily pass. We dont need to bring in more prospects, we need higher end ones that we would get with a top 5 pick. We are one of the worst teams in the league and one of the youngest, we have no reason to trade for a 34 year old goalie.

Get over the name, there's a reason his highest ranking is 10th. If he's there at 9th fine draft him, if he isn't that means a better player has fallen to us.

If we’re drafting 4th there’s no way in hell we take Iginla with that pick. Lindstrom, Silayev and potentially Levshunov or Demidov would be there and they’re all better players than him. If I’m being honest I think it would be better if we didn’t get Iginla and draft Catton or Buium if he falls.
