Thread: I mean its time they take a step
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>I'm pretty sure between the two of us, one of us has never been to columbus, and it isn't me.
You might want to check your reality there, it's not exactly the most desired place to be. That's why both BOB and Panarin darted the hell out of there when they could and the team fell apart when they left.

Maybe come down from the pedestal.
No one is speculating anything here. Most CBJ fans are honest about things, like the fact Laine is not going to resign there. I'm sure there is probably a 90%+ agreement on that in CBJ fans, It wouldn't be that way if people though he was happy there and wanted to play there.</div></div>

Bob was never offered a contract. No way the jackets would’ve offered him 10 million a year lol. Panarins girlfriend wanted to live in NYC to continue her modeling career. You’re a fan of the Pens lol. Have you been to Pittsburgh? Last place that should be talking about how bad another city is lol.

Thread: Rossi Laine and Pesce
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>brady_t12</b></div><div>Rossi is gonna cost Lapierre or McMichael plus. Would rather not make that move in that case. Columbus's asking price for Laine is going to be higher than what anyone would be willing to or should pay for him. They wouldn't take this deal but I personally wouldn't feel comfortable watching the caps give up more. It's probably better to go after a guy like Reinhart, Duchene, Guentzel, etc. in free agency than spend the assets for a question mark. I like the Pesce add.</div></div>

That’s a fair assessment from a non-jackets fan of laine. Jackets aren’t going to sell that low on him but no team will pay what he’s worth when healthy. Jackets don’t need the cap so are better off hoping he can stay healthy and have a rebound season and get more value for him next offseason or next trade deadline

Thread: I mean its time they take a step
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LuckyMoneyPuck</b></div><div>plenty of players have lost their parents and didn't miss basically a whole season.

You are over here just rambling at this point. Oh yeah player said such and such so it must be true.......
Like it's not just standard answer.

Do you realize how ridiculous you sound? If a guy was happy on a team, he'd have made it back. But he's not. He's on a rebuilding team, in the middle of nowhere, in a very undesirable place.
Get over that.
That just isn't where he wants to be.
If he was actually happy where he was, like many players who went through loss before him, he'd have been back on the ice doing what they loved.
But he clearly isn't loving it there.</div></div>

Middle of nowhere? Undesirable place? What are you talking about? Clearly you’ve never been to Columbus lol. You add nothing of value and just constantly speculate and wildly overvalue your own players. Have a nice day

Thread: Kings
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>We have zero reason to trade him unless we're getting a top-line winger return, which I think this would be. Potentially a 1st, plus two B+/A-, middle-6-floor prospects? If Columbus decided to move him, that's not a bad return.

If anything the jackets should be trying to make a trade like this to package quantity to get higher quality top 6 forwards
The replacements would be internal: Gaudreau and Marchenko are top-6 locks. Chinakhov, Johnson, and Brindley are top-6 capable. Nylander, Texier, and potentially even Beck, Mesar, and Dumais could all push for top-6 spots by the end of the year. There's lots of decent options if we're up for a different look.</div></div>

It’s fair value wise but the jackets don’t need anymore above average prospects they need top 6 potential prospects. Beck, mesar, dumais should be nowhere near the top 6. Only way I make this trade is if they flip these assets for another top line winger or sign one like Jake Guentzel (not happening)

Thread: Options to move Graves IMO
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Yeah I don't think anyone is paying a 2nd for him with that contract, that seems crazy to me too.

FWIW, I think Pittsburgh should be looking at a full rebuild...but the CBJ fan in me hopes they continue mortgaging the future for another couple of years. :)

CBJ just have an abundance of NHL-level-but-not-solid-top-4 D-men, on both sides (Gudbranson, Boqvist, Bean, Jiricek for now, Mateychuk for now, Blankenburg, and potentially Svozil). That's not including Werenski, Severson, or Provorov, who at least deserve to be in the top-4. Adding more without others going the other way just isn't super appealing.

Adding Graves wouldn't be awful, but it is a lateral move when we should be looking to leverage our younger depth for upgrades instead.</div></div>

I think Graves is a borderline cap dump if Pitt tries to get rid of him now. Certainly not worth a 2nd.
