Thread: Not completely unfeasible
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ajp_18</b></div><div>You’re almost 3 mil over the cap already..... also where are you going to get the room for players like Bjorkstrand, Texier, Werenski, Jones, and others in the next 4 years..... Columbus 100% doesn’t make this trade.</div></div>

I don’t think it’s <em>impossible</em>, but it would definitely lead to hard choices in the future. If they genuinely believed a trade for an expensive wing was worth it, they’d get it done. The advantage is that it’s a lot easier to get a LW in trade than a 2C - I doubt we get one for the price we’d be willing to pay.

This is really more of a thought exercise, though. I liked using this trade because it’s at the extreme in terms of cap hit we’d probably take on.

Thread: OEL to Edmonton
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>I don’t get it either but there’s whispers that we’re revisiting jp. He kinda trashed our team after we didn’t draft him but whatever.</div></div>

To be fair: all he said was that Edmonton was a real hockey town, as a kid who was probably flailing around to say something nice about a team he didn’t expect to draft him. I don’t see that as a slight on Columbus. Hell, it could’ve even been his prepared phrase to use with a Columbus reporter too, given his abysmal English.

That having been said: Jarmo loves his reclamation projects, but I can’t see him taking Puljujarvi unless he comes dirt cheap or as part of a larger deal (and the one here is terrible for us, I want no part of Neal’s contract). Particularly since we don’t really need another right-handed RW forward.
