Marner Offer Sheet three trades

Created by: cbjthrowaway
Team: 2019-20 Columbus Blue Jackets
Initial Creation Date: Jul. 12, 2019
Published: Jul. 12, 2019
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
- Offer sheet for Marner (rumored CBJ want 7 years, Marner wants 5; split and go with 6)
- Trade Bjorkstrand for Johnson + mid-round pick (helps TBL shed $2.5m per season while giving them another 30 goal threat, CBJ fills center need by giving up wing depth)
- Werenski for Connor -- gives CBJ a 1LW to pair with Dubois and Marner, keeps defensive depth intact
- Trade Wennberg to get under cap
- Could buy out Dubinsky or trade Nash to get breathing room under cap
- Texier/Bemström start in AHL, develop chemistry, become cost-effective options in 2020-21

Alternative would be keeping Werenski and instead packaging Murray + Bjorkstrand for a 1B center + starting Texier at 2/3LW, which probably makes more sense, I just have no clue who that center would be.

Quite interesting, just not a lot of assets to trade to build the team over the next few years, but a young, elite top line

Even though it's 4 firsts I think Toronto matches that. $10M is a fair AAV for 6 years.

Now where’s the money to keep PLD, Anderson and others?

That’s why this is an awful idea.

Foudy, Texier and Marchenko on offense.
Peeke and Carlsson on defense

Is Foligno moveable? I think some team will take 1 year of Dubinsky for something

If they waive their NMC/NTC sure but they aren’t likely to waive.

I'm not really advocating for it, this is more of a "Friedman mentioned it and I wanted to see what it'd look like" and then let my imagination run from there.

As far as keeping PLD/Anderson, there are a few ways they can shed salary at the draft next year before the RFA window opens.
- Trade or buy out Foligno, Dubinsky and/or Nash (in the final years of their salaries)
- Trade one or two of Savard/Murray/Nuti (depending on how Kukan/Gavrikov develop)
- Trade Nyquist or Johnson (depending on how Texier/Foudy/Bemstrom develop)

Definitely not a walk in the park! But I'd argue it's feasible.

Both of their contracts contain limited NTCs in the final couple of years, so both guys can be moved. If they still can't find a fit, buying out both guys would free up some money and there are some prospects who are close to contributing (Tex/Foudy/Bemstrom) as well.

Not for Josh Anderson on his own, let alone with Boone Jenner AND Markus Nutivaara, lol.

Although speaking of Nuti, I've been saying for months that a Nutivaara for Johnsson swap makes a ton of sense (plus Nuti can play on the right side and has done so frequently for the Jackets)

That's fair, admittedly I have no clue how much cap they have left.

Trouble is other teams have cap issues too and don't want crappy cap players plugging up their lineup

I'm sure the Jackets would like Nylander if they knew he could stick at center and still live up to his contract, but that uncertainty isn't worth giving up Anderson imo.

Which is why a buyout would be more likely, but that said, Foligno can still be a productive player when he's not having to fill in as an emergency center. Plenty of non cap-strapped teams would probably be just fine adding a guy who can be a productive middle-six winger and locker room leader if they only have to commit to one year. Not saying CBJ would get back a major asset for him, but if they have to free up cap, shipping him off for a mid-round pick is doable.

Dubinsky, on the other hand, they'd have to add something to and cross their fingers hoping someone bites.

Jarmo is probably agonizing over offer sheeting Marner, I'm sure he really wants to do it but doesn't want to go against the unwritten rule and get a bad reputation.
I could also see Jarmo opting to attempt to sign a Justin Williams or Thomas Vanek for lower salary and term than the Conner deal above, say $5M-$3M respectively on a 1 year deal.
That would help CBJ carry Dubi 1 more year before sending him out to pasture.

Yeah the Connor thing was unnecessary on my part but would be fun as hell. I'd personally rather see them offer sheet Point than Marner and have a 1-2 punch down the middle with him and Dubois.

They have assets, just not 'a lot' as in picks to put toward a trade to bring in a player to put them over the top in a playoff run, for example.

Deadline 'over the top' moves are typically just depth guys to round out the lineup, though. As far as making a big splash, they have enough talent overall to do a roster player for roster player move. And I'd argue that sacrificing four firsts to get Marner is more impactful (especially while Jones is cost-controlled) than holding onto those firsts and flipping them for deadline rentals, right?

That said, Jarmo could absolutely bring in another quality player by building a package around one of Texier/Bemstrom/Foudy.

Ottawa had all 3 picks: 2020 2nd & 3rd and 2021 2nd. Ottawa traded the 3rd to someone else. but they got it from us at last year's deadline to bring in Ian Cole, who didn't re-sign here. People get so excited for rental players, but they more often than not don't help, only deplete your assets.

Precisely. And after the first 15 picks or so, the draft is a crapshoot. Foudy (1st) and Texier (2nd) were seen as reaches where Jarmo picked them, and Bemstrom was a fourth-round pick. The two prospects they gave up in the Duchene deal (Abramov and Davidsson) were drafted in the third and sixth rounds, respectively.

Pick quantity after the first round is more important than having a first-rounder in the 20-30 range. Columbus could move guys like Wennberg, Milano and Carlsson right now – or Foligno/Nash next summer – for a haul of 3rd-5th round picks and feasibly recoup (or if things break right, exceed) the value lost by giving up four (presumably late) first-rounders for a Marner offer sheet.

They have depth defensively and some impact prospects who will be ready to contribute within the next two or three years at the latest. Add one big fish to the core and use some of the depth to retool when you need to.
