Elvis Enters The SABHP

Team: 2023-24 Columbus Blue Jackets
Initial Creation Date: Mar. 15, 2023

Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Elvis Merzlikins is having an extremely rough season. He's (likely) playing injured, and the memory of Matiss Kivlenieks still seems to be weighing down on him. Just recently, he returned to Latvia, as his grandmother passed away.

For the sake of his mental health, i personally feel the best course of action is enrolling in the Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health Program, like Alexandre Texier has, and taking the year off. We would have to sign a goalie to a one-year deal to fill the gap, but he'll come back next year, hopefully better.

Jets take this maybe add in vesalainen because Jarmo loves his fins and he's done well in liiga this season. Jets would need to move a dman out but that can be a separate deal

He only played 14 games, so it's hard to tell. Kinda?

I doubt he'd be on the NHL squad for the Caps at all, so i don't know why you'd want him. Perhaps a 6th round pick.

Try and move pionk asap. Perhaps CBJ would want some of WPGs trash….. I’d love to get boqvist. An actual RHD that is young and still has time to grow. Also has term, at a reasonable cap hit which the jets would love. I’d even pay to trade pionk for boqvist lol

We don't need him. Perhaps someone else would bite on Pionk, but it wouldn't be us, we don't need any more offensive defensemen.

Super creepy to speculate on what his mental state is. You don't know the guy, you don't know what's best for him. Don't be weird.

Feels like a sell-low on Boqvist, which I am not a fan of. I'm not sure if I can say Elvis wants/needs SABH; but, absolutely, its a decision for himself to make, and if its the one he wants to make, this is a reasonable way it would shake out.

I wouldn't call it speculation at all. He's been very open about how his mental state/health has been tried during a very difficult season on and off the ice, much to his credit. Watching your friend get killed while saving the life of your pregnant wife, balanced with a difficult year in net on a collapsing club, with the cherry on top being a close relative passing away, tends to have an effect on people.

Seriously good on him for being open and willing to talk about it.

I don’t think anyone would want pionk, and I don’t blame them one bit lol.

Boqvist gets a lot more than a late third. Look at what nils lundvist and Romanov got and boqvist is better than both of them

Really hard to tell which is why I think he gets a stay of execution though if I had my way he be shipped. Before he got injured he was paired with Gudbranson and was legit the worst defensive line in hockey but how much of that is Gudbranson or his fault /shrug. Personally I trade him to the Caps if they offered a mid round pick on him just to recover some loss assets. I was thinking about doing an Armchair roster what would be a decent asking price for y'all?

I think a 4th or something like that. We have seen what happened with sandin. Wonder if the same can happen with bean

Yeah in my current unpublished roster I had a 3rd for Bean but I would settled for a 4th.
