Thread: Puck moving Dman with Weber NCAA messiah

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MisstheWhalers</b></div><div>If the Jackets traded Werenski they should honestly do a tear down rebuild, move Laine, Jones, Jenner, etc and start over.

This is a good start for Werenski, probably needs some slight changes though.</div></div>

At this point, I would be in favor of a soft rebuild. Since Werenski is a RFA & under team control, they should keep him and try to sign him long term. Trade Jones to Buffalo for Eichel (throwing in additional pieces like Texier, Domi, Foudy. 1st, etc.
this would get the Jackets a reliable 1C (who is not happy in his current situation).

Thread: how many games for wilson

Wilson has taken no less than a dozen players down with BS cheap head shots, and many he got away with early on. Keep in mind his most recent suspension was in 2018 and was initially 20 games (later reduced to 14 upon appeal).
If the discipline is to be progressive, he should get 20 now.
I am not optimistic though, I’m hoping he rides the pine for 10.

Thread: Time to get baked

Puleez. Jackets would be better off trading Jones, Texier, & a 1st to Buffalo for Eichel.

Thread: An Eichel Deal From Every Team

Blue Jackets would probably make that trade quickly.
They would have to dump quite a bit of payroll though.

The reality is...his best days are behind him, and he is starting to show a lot of wear and tear.
The trade-in value goes down considerably when the jalopy barely runs.

Thread: LINE BLENDER

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ConnorMcHellebucyk</b></div><div>How has stenlund performed?</div></div>

They really haven't used him that much, but the 3 or so games he has played, he has looked like their best center (both he and Roslovic).
Stenlund is always near the play and the puck seems to follow him, he has been winning one v one battles, and looks so much better than Bemstrom (benched), Foudy (benched), Texier (started hot and has been near invisible the last 5 or so games, so demoted to 3rd/4th line).
I'm more curious to see if Rossi keeps progressing in the 1C role.

Agreed...It is a certainty that CBJ would require a Detroit 1st round pick as a part of any package for Werenski, should they be inclined to trade him

Thread: A fix

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AJC13</b></div><div>See above</div></div>

I would be all over this move if I thought it would help the CBJ, but it is a huge risk, no matter the talent that AD has.
It is very difficult to bring a player with a bad attitude or underlying bias in line with the team culture (other than giving the players the green light for a "code red" on AD).
From what I gathered on his past "issues", it sounds like he has both deep seeded bias/prejudice as well as anger issues....remember Raffi Torres? (ex Blue Jacket)
With uncertainty of Seth Jones' future with CBJ beyond 2022, it could make sense to bring in a player like this to see if it works, but definitely a big gamble.

He cleared waivers.
What makes you think anyone wants him now, when they could have had him for free???
You can keep your locker room cancer.

Thread: the future

I am fairly sure Foligno will still be a part of this team, at a lower salary, maybe $2M x 2?
You signed Marchenko, but he must be playing in AHL? I think he will make the line-up right away.

Thread: blue jackets lines

The lines above look good, but maybe switch Roslovic and Stenlund?
I had hoped they had brought Gerbe back up.
For a little dude all of 5’4”, he always brings energy and lifts his teammates’ energy levels.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb 3 at 10:46

Thread: Fixing the lines

If Jackets are out of playoffs, and Sabres too, Jackets should target an Eichel trade.
Keeping as untouchable: Laine, Texier, Bjorkstrand, Werenski, & Korpisalo.
Everybody else (including Jones) is fair game for a trade (a Texier OR Domi + Jones + Merzlikens + 1st Round Pick + and prospect such as Robinson or Bemstrom would be a strong package)

Thread: Fixing the lines

Unfortunately, we went very quickly from needing a top line scoring winger to needing a top line center

Thread: JARMO N TORTS MESS

Anderson didn’t want to be here.
He got what he wanted.
Now has like 7 goals for the Habs and his $5M deal.
Domi didn’t choose to come here (and probably doesn’t want to be here). He has 1 goal.
Dubois didn’t want to be here.
He got what he wanted.
He will probably charge out of the gate game 1 in Winnipeg.
Laine didn’t choose to come here (and probably doesn’t want to be here). He’ll be gone by summer.
Atkinson? What a waste of roster space and cap money.
It is time to clean house at the top and work on down.

Thread: Tonights lines

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MBisch28</b></div><div>Can’t say I understand that move. I saw the projected lineup and assumed that was a typo.</div></div>

I think he just wants to take some pressure off him and get him some goals/scoring.
I think just having a top line that can score is extremely critical, which will then take pressure off of all the other lines.
Hopefully Laine can have an impact right away, otherwise the pressure will keep mounting on everybody, especially with the PP where they have lost so much opportunity to extend leads/put games away.

Forum: Armchair-GMFeb 2 at 2:59

Thread: Tonights lines

I heard shortly after they were announced on The Fan that Torts will have Domi playing on the wing, not center.
Foligno will probably start at center, but Grigorenko may play some there too.

Thread: Laines debut

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsfanMathews</b></div><div>Are these confirmed lines? I’d like to see instead:
Laine Texier Atkinson

You win the prize. These are the lines that were announced.
Forgot to mention that Domi will play wing to take some pressure off of him.
Fligs will probably start at center on the line, but Grigs could also play some at the pivot too.

He didn’t appear with the others, he was on the non active or IR list

Thread: Laine hero or goat

Now that Laine is here, will he be the scoring machine that he is, or will he fall trap to the huge talent and stars of years past who have lost their magic once they put the Union Blue on.
Now taking all offers (except the lowball offers) for the 2021-22 season.

Thread: Who would you protect for the expansion draft right now Answer for ur fav team

Laine / Domi / Bjorkstrand / Jenner / Nyquist / Atkinson / Roslovic
Werenski / Jones / Gavrikov
Korpisalo

Jackets have a lot of UFA's and young/exempt players
The best options that will probably be available for Seattle would be Gerbe, Robinson, or Kukan

Thread: Laine has is visa

With Laine having his credit card (VISA) and ready to play, the Jackets now may be able to score 2 goals a game.
Maybe Atkinson will now make an appearance on the scoring sheet?

That’s a lot of assets to give up for 1 year of Barkov with no signed extension.
Besides, Barkov will re-sign in Florida.
