Why would moving Jiricek, the Jackets #2 RHD next year, accelerate the timeline? Guhle likely starts on the bottom pairing below Graves and Werenski and slotting him in next to Gudbranson is a recipe for disaster. If it's a change of scenery kind of move, the Jackets have 3 players under team control that are available in Foudy, Bemstrom, or Bean. Take your pick.
Jackets have the money to big game hunting for LHD and better Center play in Free Agency next year and I doubt trading their top prospect for Guhle is anywhere near the table.
