Tossing some ideas around

Created by: MelonVK
Team: 2021-22 Columbus Blue Jackets
Initial Creation Date: May 17, 2021
Published: May 17, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
This, to me, looks like a solid playoff team. Probably completely unrealistic, since for example Dubas isn't a reactionary 15 year old and won't trade Nylander. I'd explore Laine ++ for Eichel, cause Eichel is really good while Laine isn't. Spurgeon is obviously a prize in his own right, but any solid replacement for Jones you can get for a few spare forwards is welcome.

I guess either this, lose your 5th best forward or Dumba, or just trade for Dumba instead of they refuse to give up Spurgeon

Not nearly enough for Eichel. Folks’ analysis of Jones is really all over the board so I could see that trade but depends on Dubas’ opinion of Jones. And I don’t think that’s enough for Spurgeon, but things are crazy with expansion so who knows.

Don't see us moving Spurgeon, we'll likely either trade Dumba or lose him in expansion.

Yeah don't get me wrong - I hope so. I'm just not entirely convinced. Dubas declining feels the most certain, cause I think he's the most competent. The other one's I'm not as sure.

Don't disagree here either. I think this scenario is very improbable, but not impossible. Just playing around with the thought, really!

Because wild are dumb. & are going to trade their captain?


Jared spurgeon isn't waiving like ever


Wild love him which is why they signed him to 7 years, highest aav in team history


My gosh some of the reasoning on here is baffling


It's impossible. You can dream, but it's impossible like never happening

Sigh. I don't care about your personal investment, players we *never* thought would leave have done so in the past. I'm still not saying it's likely, but saying it literally couldn't happen is just wrong.

I'm not dreaming of anything, CBJ isn't even my team. I even said in the description that it's unlikely and if it's impossible they could work something out around Dumba. Go get upset at someone elses post.

Yeah,,a player in his first year of captaincy, & a player whose new contract starts next year,,highest aav with total no movement is going to be traded; much less waive haha. Totally make sense


It's not wrong to say it will never happen. it's realistic, & reality

Much like kaprizov will never ever happen. Much like Jonas Brodin will never happen.

Much like Ryan suter will never happen

Dude I am just showing you facts, & you really haven't come up with any facts

Jared spurgeon who signed 7 years contract extension with total no movement & was made captain

Jonas Brodin who signed 6 years extension with no movement, & one of the best d in NHL

Kaprizov: don't really need to explain

Didn't think reality, & showing you facts were contradictory

Also Jared spurgeon, & Brodin are wild top d, & aren't going anywhere

Why are you bringing up a bunch of players I never mentioned? Also, I made the point that the only fact you spouted didn't actually mean that he was 100% to stay.

The Spurgeon trade note: "Additional Details:
I guess either this, lose your 5th best forward or Dumba, *or just trade for Dumba instead of they refuse to give up Spurgeon*"

Can you practice your breathing? It's a trade suggestion website. Get off of it if it's too much for you.

Wild say no.
1. Not enough for Spurgeon. (I want Spurgeon gone more than anyone)
2. Spurgeon has no reason to waive his NMC for CBJ.

No movement does. You can't get around that

No movement means a trade can't happen without player approval

Jared spurgeon loves Minnesota, loves playing for a winning team. Jared spurgeon who was just appointed captain isn't waiving ever ti go to a losing team

So yes it does. even with fantasy, you can't be in denial of facts; reality


Will are going to go all out to protect dumba and Talbot


Ps: when people say wild will lose dumba or trade him: it's just not factually correct

You said didn't mean he would 100 stay. That is your statement which is factually incorrect
