Team: 2020-21 Columbus Blue Jackets

Initial Creation Date: Jan. 12, 2021

Published: Jan. 12, 2021

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

The Jackets have a ton of organizational depth; a deal built around a bunch of pieces coming back to Columbus doesn't really work. They need guys who can be no-doubt top six forwards (or better) within the next year or two.

Trading within their (normal) division is something that the Jackets are definitely looking to avoid, but there's a team that has pieces that would fit their needs AND justify doing the trade within the division. Makes both sides better, IMO.

Alternative to this would be to MTL for KK + Danault with an extension. But I think this one fits the Jackets' needs better.

i agree this is what it would take. PLD is a 22 year old whos a 50-60 pt center in a super defensive system. Hed be a 70pt player anywhere else.

value seems reasonable, but I'm not sure the Rangers would make this trade. at the very least, they let him start the season on the Panarin line to see how Kakko has developed so far. also, I would be afraid of what the trade would do to Kakko's confidence, as well as putting him in a much tougher coaching environment.

Dubois will not get traded until next offseason imo. Need more time to evaluate him and other players.

Not sure many teams are beating Kakko + Strome for PLD so why add Chytil. Plus when Eichel is also on the trade market, how many teams out there with young stars on ELC's they would trade for a PLD. Slim market.

I mean, Chytil is a better value asset so cbj would want him. Jarmo is a tough negotiator, if he wanted Chytil and you guys only offered strome we would just keep PLD for 4 years

Getting some puljiarvi vibes reading this. Tough to come into the nhl as a high pick. I am sure he will be a lot better this year especially with the team improving as a whole. Would getting laf make him more expendable though? (To get a 1B C)

had Jeff Gorton known Lafreniere was coming, I think he reconsiders (or at least thinks twice about) Kreider's extension at the deadline. we have 5 wingers that can/should be playing top 6 (Kreider, Buch, Laf, Kakko, Panarin). starting Lafreniere on the 3rd line is fine for now but not forever...I would also expect Kakko's production to definitely increase on a line with Panarin. if it doesn't...

to return back to the main point, yes Kakko could be more expendable with Laf.
