For $8M total retained salary, half of which is beyond this season, you're giving us a liability, a bust, an old man, and a couple of mid-round picks?
Roslovic retained is a 2024 2nd, Boqvist is probably a 3rd or 4th, and Gudbranson isn't being moved. He's astonishingly been one of the few success stories this year, and is a key leadership piece. Columbus wouldn't have any interest in the other players, but especially not Ceci, who's signed beyond this year at a position for which we're actively shopping players.
I'd counterpropose:
to EDM:
Boqvist
Roslovic ($2M retained)
to CBJ:
Ceci (for the cap/contract)
McLeod ($750,000 retained, to make the cap/contracts work)
2024 2nd (for Roslovic, retained)
2025 3rd (for Boqvist)
2026 2nd (to take the caps/contracts of Ceci and McLeod, who we don't really want/need/have space for)
That's even contracts and cap hits going both ways. Might as well leave Gudbranson and Ryan out of it.
