Our Russian stud prospect Tarasov will probably jump to #2 next year. CBJ stud goalie factory lol. In all seriousness though we need a more traditional D man that can clear a crease and play more physical like Jones and Savard. We are about to lose Savard. It would allow us to split werenski and Jones up more. Jones or even our youngster Peeke would then be more free to hunt goals. Bear would kind of add to the jumbled mess we have of D guys who don’t play physical enough with Bear being undersized for my liking at 5’11”. We may be stacked at goalie but having 2 or 3 of something doesn't mean we give a discount trading them when Columbus has needs if its own to address. Its gotta be the type of deal where we can help each other out. Think of it this way, if you got a goalie who was a major upgrade over what you have and secured what i think is the most important position in the game for the next 5 years, what is that worth to you? Not asking for a kings ransom but the Jackets need a more immediate impact player in return or maybe a first round pick. Your dumping Koskinen to team that is set at goaltender, we have no need for him at all, so how does that help us
