Thread: We need LW
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GirouxFanclub</b></div><div>Oh thats so cool! And he definitely is better than Jones and Dunn, Werenski is so underrated considering Jones gets more attention for some reason. Werenski might be a future Wing too since he's from Michigan</div></div>

Perception is everything and after looking at their stats I do see where you are coming from but I do think CBJ gets more for Jones than STL gets for Dunn. That being said the more I look at the Dunn trade the more I like it. The draft is wide open this year and STL wants to move Dunn before the expansion draft which could hurt Dunn's value a bit.

Not only did he go to U of M he is also from the area. Yeah but every time Detroit fans start saying he is coming to Detroit to play as soon as he is a UFA it pretty much doesn't happen.

Thread: Next season
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GirouxFanclub</b></div><div>Werenski is so much better than Jones lmao. the reason Jones looks good is bc of Werenski. when werenski got injured this year Jones was seriously one of the worst defenseman in the league</div></div>

smart person right here. Jones has always been getting top minutes in columbus, yet has always had help on the other end. Even back in Nashville, he was paired with the D core they had just set in stone. Jones alone this year showed he's not much more than a Savard, except less effective on D, and just seemingly a glorified Ryan Murray on the offensive side. Blue line holder that most of his goals come from odd man rushes in overtime. Jones was behind Savard (before trade), Werenski, and Del Zotto of all people on the Jackets D effectiveness. Yet loyalty, stamina and a big frame made Torts use him so much.
Problem is, Weresnki doesn't do much on defense either. Losing him on defensive side didn't change much, and the Jackets offense fell off the cliff they were already sliding down this season. As a jackets fan, I just want to see what we can get with all the media hype over him, and his glorified 6'4 Righty D status.

Thread: Trade Jones and start the rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GirouxFanclub</b></div><div>has he always been like that because Nyqvist should be traded but I doubt anyone takes him with his normal cap hit. my thought process was that you aren't going to be good for a few years and you have 25 million dollars in cap so its worth it to retain for multiple years</div></div>

Yeah. Jarmo is a massive hard-ass in negotiating contracts with players and is ruthless with other teams as well. It's one of the reasons that Columbus has both a hard time getting UFA's to come there and why RFA's rarely extend long-term in Columbus (with Bjorkstrand and Atkinson being the rare exceptions) - Jarmo refuses to pay more than what players are worth and won't pay a premium to get players to come on or get off his roster.
