Thread: Getting Bob
Honestly, I keep flip flopping on what I think CBJ should do with Bob.
My heart says that he wants to stay in Columbus and Bob would sign a team friendly contact, similar to Wennberg, Atkinson, Jones, Jenner, etc.
Bob will be 30 soon, so not getting any younger. He is in his prime, and playing very well.

My personal opinion is...with the Panarin situation, CBJ is in flux and would definitely want a bona fide scorer to replace him.
If CBJ is out of the playoff hunt, and if they really think they can bring Kivlikens over next year from Europe to replace Bob (and he is the heir apparent to Bob), then they very well might cut Bob loose.
Since they lose leverage in the Panarin situation (since he could walk for nothing next summer), they could use Bob to bring in a top game breaking scorer.
Since they have drafted very well since Jarmo & John Davidsson arrived, they probably would place more emphasis on draft pick over a young prospect.
So, to summarize, a top scorer (or center) and draft picks are what I think would be the ask from Columbus.
