Thread: dream Columbus scenario
I'm starting to come back around on Boqvist's value. He's scoring at a 65 point pace since NYE. While I don't think that's a realistic pace to expect him to keep up with, I'm back to being afraid of selling low on him and having him blow up elsewhere into a legitimate top 4 scoring RD. I'd rather he stayed and Blankenburg be a scratch at this point. He has a lot of heart, but he has also been making a lot of really rough defensive mistakes.

The reported ask for Chychrun is now down to two 1sts or a 1st and a prospect worth a 1st. Mateychuk came in at #14 on Scott Wheeler's prospect rankings so I feel like he's just too good of a prospect to part with for Chychrun. Not to mention he's the guy that Chychrun is supposed to be bridging the Jackets towards if they were to acquire him and he didn't re-sign so I don't think that would be very likely of a trade.

Some pundits think because of his $3,200,000 producing only 6 goals this year, he is considered to have nutral value or less.

"Kapanen is a similar anti-trade chip. It would cost the Penguins an asset to move the 26-year-old winger with a $3.2 million cap hit through next season."

The Sabre could use help on defense, Ruhwedel may not be the answer as he has ONE pt in 31 games.

Since adding Jost to the line and moving the LW, Casey has rediscovered his game.

While some may disagree, a third line winger on pace to 46 pts is worth significantly more than an over paid RW and 7th defenseman.
Buffalo will not be adding a pick and the difference is more than a 7th.
<strong>As written Buffalo would most likely pass on this deal.</strong>

Thread: CBJ swap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bdawwwgy1</b></div><div>Usually I’d agree, but the overall level of Boeser is hard to beat. Especially when you’re sending out a rental and a guy who sucks and very clearly does not give 100%. Boeser should be our third best wing behind Gaud and Laine, he will bounce back. It doesn’t fill our needs but I think we’d be foolish to not take this</div></div>

Yes, but with the money already tied up else where adding another wing making 6+ just limits the cap room we have to actually improve in other areas and fill the holes we already have in the roster. We are still very much lacking the 1c, a number one defenseman and I’d say we currently need to be looking at other possible options in net with how bad our goalies have been, but that could be due to the poor defence too.

Thread: Columbus making cap room without giving up legit assets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey_Mind</b></div><div>They still have to be competitive for their prospects develop, and they aren’t even at the cap floor yet. This value is probably about right, however I don’t think a move happens until we get into training camp and a lot can happen between now and then. Injuries, visa/immigration issues, sexual assault allegations etc. Who can know what the landscape will look like on Oct 1?

Laine wants closer to 10 than 8.5, but I think he might take a little less to make it all fit (while still getting paid), and also to get on the ice before the season starts. Jarmo just needs to stand fast and wait for something to happen. A team will need a player, Jarmo will try to deal one.

EDIT: sorry I was thinking of the Anaheim post when I made the cap floor comment. That’s not true for CHI.</div></div>

Looks like you're right! $8.7M is less than I thought he'd accept.
