If CBJ re-signs Duchene they have to give 2020 1st round pick to OTT.

Panthers decline

without Panarin and or bob Duchene will NOT be re-signing with CBJ, and 1.5m too little for Dzingle

You sure about that? Where he going then?

without bob and panarin, CBJ is a lottery team, even with Duch and Dzingle

Very untrue. But i asked, why wouldn't Duchene re-sign in CBUS?

he wants to win, and without bob and panarin CBJ will not win. Bob is a major reason why CBJ swept Tampa and they have no one even in the same galaxy as good as him to take his place next year and Panarin is a top 10 LW in the NHL and again with no one is the same galaxy as good as him to replace him.

I’m not sure what team it is you root for, but the Jackets have the core players in place, for many years, to avoid lottery status. Have you heard of Atkinson? Jenner? Jones? All currently on very team friendly contracts. How about Anderson? Or Werenski? Maybe Savard? Nutivaara or Murray or Harrington? No? Did you watch the Tampa series? There is this guy they call Texier that has played 6 NHL games and has already put the AHL in his rear view mirror after only 7 games.
Heavily scouted and developing talent is on the horizon: Merzlikens, Foudy, Bemstrom, Robinson to name just a few. Oh, and by the way if Bread and Bob and Duchene and Dzingel don’t sign, that is $21M in payroll that the Jackets can use at the UFA shopping center come 7/1. Just watching the 1st round sweep of the bolts will entice some UFAs to want to sign here.
