I'm a little weird, just like everyone else.

ARMCHAIR-GM TEAMS

Thread: Fire Sale

Huh. Somebody's dreaming big, that's for sure.

Add another "no" from the Jackets to the record on this one.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChrisPy97</b></div><div>Agree with the above that Laine's contract is too cheap. Especially if they want to retain him through a few years of being in the cellar while they stock up

I also think if they can get rid of Jones and Korpisalo for younger cheaper assets they will. They want better C's</div></div>
Korpisalo, yes, but Jones isn't going to be traded all that easily. It's not a "best offer we can get" situation.

If you figure it out, please let me know 'cause I'm mystified as well.

Thread: Like father like son

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TrueCanuck</b></div><div>This is going off the reports that Columbus wanted Liljegren, Woll, and a 1st for Merzlikins at the deadline. So they're obviously high on Liljegren if they wanted him as the main package then. If Columbus goes into a rebuild, they can use prospects they have already</div></div>
I don't recall seeing any such reports. From what I understand, Merzlikins is much less likely to be moved at all.

Thread: Rebuild

Henrique is no longer the quality of center we actually need, so, no.

Forum: Armchair-GMSat at 2:23 pm

Thread: Cup Team

At this point I <strong>might</strong> consider Virtanen if he was bundled with Petterson or something equally ludicrously absurd. No way in hell we move actual useful NHL assets for him.

Forum: Armchair-GMSat at 2:19 pm

Thread: Off season

We don't really have any incentive to pay good assets for Rask. He's been slightly better with Kaprizov, but we don't have a Kaprizov.

Forum: Armchair-GMSat at 2:18 pm

Thread: Canucks - Fresh Look

I'm not sure if that's enough bribery for us to take on Roussel's contract. Would depend heavily on whether or not Kekalainen sees anything left in Juolevi.

Forum: Armchair-GMSat at 2:16 pm

Thread: Restart

Adding late picks does not make the repeatedly rejected Domi-for-Risto concept any more palatable to the Blue Jackets.

Forum: Armchair-GMSat at 2:15 pm

Thread: Like father like son

I'm not sure we'd go for this one. Liljegren is interesting, to be sure, but our center depth is suffering enough that I'd be hesitant to move any of them for not-top-6 centers (Engvall does not add value for us in that regard). It's probably worth considering if we get C issues addressed through other means, but not before then.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 1:37 pm

Thread: Wild Contender Scenario

That's not even in the same ballpark as a Laine trade. Even if we were selling low, that wouldn't be good enough.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 12:34 pm

Thread: Smaller adds if Dru does not get Eichel

What makes you think that Jenner trade has any chance of happening? I'm genuinely curious, because he's a valuable player here, not someone we're about to dump as a spare part.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 12:33 pm

Thread: Wings push

We kind of need a #1<strong>C</strong> coming back for Werenski. Not a winger. And after an offersheet attempt (which would probably be matched in any case), I doubt we'd be that accommodating.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>He'll probably just walk next year for nothing anyways lmao. He's not worth a 1C</div></div>
If you don't think he is, then don't bother trading for him.

Thread: Hayes Out Eichel In

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>Someone can sign him next year for free then and it isn't a lowball offer HAHAHA</div></div>
If we get to the deadline without him extended, then maybe other proposals can be considered. But that won't be for another 8 months at least. For certain, he's not being traded this offseason for anything less - Kekalainen has already come out and said he's willing to go ino the season as long as it takes to try to get him signed.

Thread: Realistic 2021 roster

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>exo2769</b></div><div>I know that's what you want. It's not happening. He's not worth a true #1C. That's the most coveted position in the NHL. You can try to trade for potential centers, but you won't get anyone better than Texier...who is really good IMO.</div></div>
The simple truth is we're not trading Jones unless we have <strong>confirmation</strong> that he wans out. Until then, the only thing that makes sense for the Jackets is filling the one thing we need the most. So, #1C only.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 11:51 am

Thread: Lets Go

While we would have interest in Schmaltz, I don't think Laine is the way to go there. Particularly since the other assets coming back are not going to be particularly valued here.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 11:50 am

Thread: Building a Rangers team out of other fans trades

Eww. No thanks. Serious overpayment for Zibanejad (the extra pick was supposed to be conditional-on-resigning but that's not possible anymore, and it was already a stretch to begin with).

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 11:47 am

Thread: Just a Pipe Dream

The Jackets really don't need depth players; what we're lacking is higher-end guys. And we've got guys who are effective offensive #2Cs (Roz/Tex/Domi); what we need is someone who can take on heavy defensive minutes against top players and thus shield those guys. I don't think Strome qualifies.

Thread: Crazy ideas

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>GoodIdeaAtTheTime</b></div><div>Ignoring the headliners, the Korpisalo for Risto trade is interesting. Not sure if the 3rd is necessary but either way, you might be onto something with that one.</div></div>
We'd probably go for it as written, yeah.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 11:44 am

Thread: Is MTL a sleeper

Yeah, that's way too may top tier assets for Columbus to be giving up given the risks around Eichel.

Forum: Armchair-GMFri at 11:44 am

Thread: Jarmo doesnt get into Eichel bidding war

I'd be just fine with the (apparently since revised) Schmaltz trade. Put him in the heavy minutes position and stick Roz and Tex and Domi behind him. That's mostly because I worry about Kuznetsov's situation w/r/t why he's getting kicked out of Washington, tho.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DirtyDangles</b></div><div>This is tiring.</div></div>
Yes, it's very tiring seeing so many people try to lowball us for a player we're not trading.

Seth Jones is only available for a #1C, so... no.
