Jenner is a 2c at best imo, so we really should upgrade at the 1c position and move Jenner down the line up. That being said I think we need to be more patient with Roslovic, he has shown flashes of being a top 6 center, he just needs to be more consistent and he needs consistent time with wings. He’s been part of more line combinations than any other forward in Columbus this season.

As for the RHD, I think Peeke can get there, hes not there yet. I like Lybushkin as well or maybe Manson depending on the price, not sure I’d want to pay the price for Murphy(probably costs one of the 1sts at least), maybe Holl could be had cheaply as he would be a 1 year player to see if he fits.

I think jarmo made his big move last year, Jones and PLD trades, and now it’s hang on for the ride and see what the development is over the next few seasons.

Imo at defence, you’re fine, Werenski, Gavrikov, Bean, Peeke and Boqvist is a good mix of young players, talented players, and experienced players and you add Christiansen, Carlsson, Bayreuther possibly someone like Blankenburg fighting for the 6th spot. You do need a top Center but considering that amazing winger depth, there maybe a player swap to be made to get one. Also, imo Stenlund’s probably staying in the AHL at this point and someone like Angle could get a shot over him

This is a good group but it's a group who gives up an insane amount of cross ice passes and defensively one of the worse defenses this year. IMO Sign Booshkin or trade Bean for a more defensive dman

hot take but please Jarmo, let Chinakhov dominate the AHL. He isnt cutting the NHL so far and he doesn't need rushed

I couldnt agree more. Exactly this!



In a perfect world yes. But we are not getting clear number 1 center just like that. There is none in free agency and if you try to trade for one, you have to give enormous amount of value in exchange. We have to draft and develop new top6 centers and hope they are the real deal. Until then, Jenner is our 1C.

We can go to next year with centers Jenner-Roslovic-Sillinger-Kuraly, but if there is an opportunity to upgrade on Roslovic then Jarmo should do it. Roslovic is better on the wing. Sillinger keeps on developing, Voronkov comes over after next year and maybe Kent Johnson proves me wrong and he playes center on NHL level?
