i mean, maybe take foudy out of that trade? why would we trade foudy for kerfoot.

also how tf does reilly replace jones

Foudy is worth much more than just Kerfoot. He is just beginning his career and has so much growth to come even with his existing skill set, speed etc.

With Foudy's track record regarding his development prior to reaching the show, he has the potential to be a top 6 difference maker. He is one to follow...

However, I don't mind some of the *hypothetical* ideas here to imagine..

CLB is rebuilding, Jones will likely return more now then at the deadline, Rielly will return more at the deadline then now. Rielly will also sign for less than Jones next year although Jones does not desire more than Rielly

so we trade a good upside winger for a third liner because were rebuilding? doesnt make sense

also reilly wouldnt even be our best LHD. we will just keep jones

Columbus declines both, and it’s not even close. Columbus will keep the picks and younger players vs rentals and a 3rd line center. This is just horrid asset management by Columbus.

Both trades make no sense for the jackets. Not close.
