I'd add kravtsov to that

Not enough for PLD

Not even close for PLD, PLD for Kakko+Strome would be the ask.

I added some prospects to the trade, even though Kravstov wouldn't last a day under Torts haha...

Ya'll are forgetting that PLD is requesting a trade, so CBJ is going to lose no matter what. This won't be apples for apples. GMs know they will have CBJ by the balls

CBJ is not going to lose. He is still under team control.
AND there are a ton of teams that would want him (probably all 30 NHL teams)
By standing by the position that the Jackets are going to lose out on any trade for Dubois so might as well take your lowball trade above is ludicruous.
Every GM in the league is going to come in with a low ball offer and expect to land him?
There will be a package that is suitable for his true value, and the CBJ preference would be to send him out West, not to a division rival.
Otherwise, they just hold on to him until the time is right.
He still wants to play hockey and get paid.

Everyone keeps forgetting the X factor in all of this. That is the relationship between PLD and Tortz. It is all well and good for Jarmo to say that he will wait for the "right" deal to come along but PLD and Tortz have lost respect for each other. How long can Jarmo really expect that to stay out of the locker room? From what I have seen, PLD is trying to remain professional and keep things from boiling over to a minimum. However Tortz has not been too professional about it, He benched PLD for no apparent reason the other day vs Detroit then when he did play him he put him on a makeshift 4th line. I don't think PLD will stand for that too many more times IMO without saying anything publicly. If that happens Jarmo will lose control of the situation and will be forced to make any deal that he can to get the conflict out of the dressing room. So yes Jarmo can bide his time for now, but with every passing day the chances of a blowup between the two sides increases, so if I was Jarmo I wouldn't wait too long.

Too many people are judging this as a fantasy team or something. I really don't think this trade is as lopsided as anyone is saying. The relationship is only gonna get worse. I think this is a lot more believable than MTL giving up Suzuki, which would be ludacris for MTL to mess with their team chemistry right now

I don't think that the upgrade from any of our top 3 centers right now is worth the cost of acquiring PLD. KK may not have been putting up many points so far this year but he was not playing badly and with the break though for both him and Toffoli last night I look for that line to really turn it up a notch in the next few games. Suzuki has been lights out and continues to rocket towards legitimate 1C potential. Danault has been rock steady Danault!

Yeah exactly. For some reason all the rumors point to PLD and MTL. I can't imagine it happening. MTL is just too good right now and definitely not worth going for PLD. MTL is poised to be one of the better teams in the league for years to come with this center depth, and the winger depth is also insanity. Really good top 4 defensemen too, and Romanov blossoming nicely

Guaranteed Columbus has already declined better offers

After PLD plays less than 4 minutes in a 1 goal game that goes to overtime... still gonna win the trade?
