blues say no. we have no need for bottom 6 help

I wouldn't go that far. The problem is we don't have cap. But if somebody got hurt, I'd jump all over that.

eh id rather stick with kostin or give bitten a chance

That Detroit trade is bad for the Jackets. Goalie is the thinnest position in the org. Tarasov is a good goalie prospect and he is our only one. He should be a NHLer capable of pushing for Elvis' job starting in 2023-2024. Add Bean to the deal and you're acquiring a depth winger (the last thing the jackets need).

Eric Robinson fits very well into what the Jackets do need out of their depth forwards that stick around (speed, high motor, penalty kill, locker room). The compensation is fair don't get me wrong but coupled with the first trade its silly to move the perfect guy for the role and plug that spot by overpaying massively for another depth winger

Tarasov is pretty likely going to replace elvis in the next 3-4 years and ERob is one of Gaudreau's best friends so he just isn't going to be traded for now.

The Detroit trade doesn't make sense, but I want Erne gone, so, sold!
