Why would the Jackets retain half and lose their 2C who they need even more than the habs?

Coming from a CBJ fan, I’d rather they just trade him and use his roster spot on a young guy that needs the ice time.

This is fine by me. Honestly, a 2nd, or equivalent value, is about in line with what Domi is probably worth.

Only hiccup is Domi is expected to miss the first month or so of the season.

Unlike the Habs the CBJ are rebuilding
Domi's a UFA and usually when rebuilding teams decide to rebuild the Pending UFA's are traded at the very least

Look at ARZ they declared a rebuild and started selling any and all players including their young upstart goalie adin hill

Fair enough, but I imagine they could get the exact same return at the trade deadline with that retention.

That's fine with us
With Drouin he had a 70 points season
Without he struggled hard

Drouin -Domi connection is worth the gamble
Plus we loved Domi here in MTL it was Claude Julien who had issue with him

Oh I get that, but tanking with your young players can be a disastrous move. Let Domi play until the TDL and flip him for a similar return.

Yeah, but take it from another rebuilding team. Putting these young guys in before they are ready can kill their confidence and abilities. Gradually putting them in while Domi is taking harder matchups will allow CBJ rookies/prospects the time to gradually take over the role you see in them.

Yeah if Domi took more then 400 faceoffs last year i'd get the logic
They got Roslovic and Jenner who lead the team in faceoffs and Kuraly
Then they got Stenlund who's been 2 years in waiting as called up for 30 games each of the last 2 years
He showed consistency and competence as a Center and could take on the same Faceoff amount Domi could

Also got Texier.

Up to me, the middle would be Roslovic-Tex-Jenner-Kuraly.

Thats actually a lot more solid then most people think to
Jenner has turned into a reliable middle 6 bulk faceoff guy
Kuraly has been one of the best 4th line centers in the game for 5 years
Texier might not win faceoffs but like Nick Suzuki he will do everything else

The real X factor is does Roslovic out play Dubois a 2nd straight year?

Defensively, Jenner is a great center. Problem is, offensively, he’s a born Winger. Completely agree on Kuraly.

Roslovic and Tex are the wild cards.

Texier has all the tools to be a center, probably middle six, but he’s had consistency problems. Torts moving him to the wing the first sign of trouble didn’t help either. As for Roslovic - the fear is that last season could be over-production as a result of a larger role on a bad team; but, I’m optimistic.

I don’t see him as a 1C long term, particularly with Johnson (and Sillinger) in the pipeline (and with likely more high draft picks to come), but I still think his best-case scenario is to show out as a top-6 forward.

Even if Roslovic is just holding a place for Johnson (sillinger)
You'll get a high return on Roslovic if he can highlight handling match ups vs top lines

I think he can do it with Laine-Roslovic-Bjorkstrand(or Vorachek)
I think he hits 45-55 points this year

Top 6 Centers who are Right Handed arent available to often under 30 years old
If he can improve on Faceoff Win rate you might even last a 1st and a solid prospect to start.
He's shown a huge improvement in CBJ lets just hope it continues for everyones benefit

I think CBJ are going to be hesitant to ever trade Roslovic. He’s a local kid. For as much talk as there has been for years about players not wanting to stay, he, Elvis, and Bjorkstrand are important as players who are open about their love for staying with CBJ.

Then again, so was Atkinson 🤷‍♂️

Yeah but Atkinson brought Vorachek home and he's still playing amazing hockey
His style is all about Positioning and he's equally good with and without the puck
For those reasons he'll age well in their league because he'll QB the plays for the young guys
I call it the Patrick Marleau retirement plan lol

Atkinson was a key leader but theres more value in getting Vorachek and straight up to wasnt it ?
Closest thing i could think of in context is if MTL was offered Kopitar(or Stamkos) straight up

Cap era is beautiful that was some times
PHI just needed Cap space and a middle 6 leader back
CBJ walked away with a top 6 forward who crushes people on special teams(career high PP points 35 )
All because you have the cap to make it so

Wish that could happen for us soon ! :P

Oh, I mean I'm happy they got Voracek. My point was just that part of their focus right now is the whole "we want guys who want to be here" line, and they traded arguably the guy who wanted to be with CBJ the most, and with four more years left on his contract.

Voracek will do well here. The guy is a playmaking winger (he's been something like Top-10 in the league in assists over the course of the past few seasons or something), and is likely there to help prop up Laine. Whether that is a long-term solution, or something being done to help build up Laine's trade value, time will tell. Plus, I think only being on the hook for three seasons instead of four, even if the cap hit is higher, is something they valued.

That's true to
i just assumed he'd be playing with Bjorkstand
As i usually look at Daily Faceoff to make sure what i think
Is actually on par with what CBJ or any team really is thinking

But now that you point that out Laine -Roslovic-Vorachek
That would be all upside for CBJ if it worked out
Little was with him during his best years and Vorachek plays a similar style as a higher caliber



PP is where Laine most valuable with 91 points in 306 games with WPG in cluding 51 PP Goals
So putting him with a PP guy like Vorachek outside special teams will increase their chemistry and impact.
You could still end up netting a couple firsts down the road for Laine if it works out

I love the kid and wish MTL had gotten him but at the same time its more of a hindsight is 20/20 after you see the payoff
That cost was insane before anyone knew Roslovic could step up when given that chance
In WPG he was always sheltered between Schifele, Copp and Lowry so we didnt get to see him in sink or swim mode
CBJ threw him in the deep end and he thrived
