If we really want malkin. That offer better be for 30 million dollars. Im thinking 10x3. He probably wouldn’t consider less from us.

If that defense doesn't improve, which this is the same group as last year, then it doesn't matter who is up front, they won't get far in the playoffs. I like your sentiment about Malkin, but I agree that he is not coming here, unless he wants to leave a legacy and bring along the young Russians in the system (Marchenko, Voronkov and Chinakov). I think you overpaid for Roslovic too. I think Jack would take the hometown discount since it's his hometown. The max I'd go would be 4M AAV.

It's a nice idea maybe but Johnson, Marchenko and Chinakov aren't playing and that's a big L for CBJ.

The idea of this signing is for the Jackets to get a 1C. Malkin is not going to get 10 mil from any team. Short term contract works for him and the Jackets. It buys the Jackets a couple of years to develop some of the younger guys while still staying competitive.

As for Johnson and the others in AHL Cleveland, they need to have a lot of ice time. They can’t get that this year in Columbus with the glut of contracts at forward. This would be the perfect move.

You have to admit that that top line would be insane.

I don't think Edmonton would have any interest in either player. They don't have any cap space and they're pretty set at C and LD.

Both will be extremely cheap and Bemstrom is not a C he is a RW. With no cap space the Oilers would likely want this because it gives them depth.

No, they'll use their meager cap space to re-sign their own RFA's. Why would they trade for worse players than they already have?
