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

ARMCHAIR-GM TEAMS

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 13 at 10:53

Thread: Leafs

We don't really have a need for Kerfoot, but that's good enough value for the Jackets that I'd be inclined to go for it all the same.

Thread: 20-21 Projection

I for one want to try Foligno on Domi's wing, for two reasons:
1) He's been our best defensive forward, and so that will help cover for Domi's deficiencies in this area, and
2) Domi's big career year was played alongside Andrew Shaw - a rough-and-tumble two-way forward who contributes at both ends. Sound familiar? ;)

But that's just the experiment I have in mind.

This is much nicer than I would have been. Gavrikov is a much better player than Roz right now. I've also got a fondness for the "bring him home" idea, but that proposal's just gross.

Thread: 2nd take

While I appreciate that Shaw was alongside Domi when Domi had that killer year, we'd much rather 1) not pick up a guy who's been having concussion problems lately and 2) try and match him with one of the multiple tough two-way forwards we already have, kthx.

Thread: strome for goalie ideas

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lenny7</b></div><div> CLB *should* accept</div></div>
Hardly.

Seriously, y'all, stop it already. Neither Strome has either been of the least bit of interest to the Jackets because they're both the products of their star winger linemates - y'know, players that we don't have. And it's become even less interesting now that Domi's here.

We're not in a hurry to dump any more cap at this point. Sure as hell not if Dubois signs a really team-friendly deal like that one.

We are not being adequately bribed here for taking on Engvall.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 12 at 8:48

Thread: Bargain Bin - Vatanen and Athanasiou

If you want to dump salary on the Jackets, <strong>you</strong> pay <strong>us</strong>. Travis Dermott does not constitute "payment"; he'd just be adding to the problem we already have with RFA contracts.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 12 at 8:16

Thread: Cap Compliance

Hon. C'mon. I get that Columbus is playing the "any team that will take him" role here, but seriously, surely you could have picked a team other than the one that literally just gave away two better players at the same position for next to nothing.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 12 at 8:14

Thread: lets make the playoffs

Someday, all Sabres fans here posting AGMs will finally realize, once and for all, that Mittelstadt is not and never was an asset of any interest whatsoever to the Columbus Blue Jackets in any form whatsoever, and will finally stop trying to poach players of ours with him as though he somehow represents something valuable. Until then, we all must continue to suffer.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 12 at 8:11

Thread: Hawks

That's a "nope" on the Jackets trade. Larsson might be interesting, but we're not in a hurry to move either goaltender unless whatever hypothetical team trading us a #1LW <strong>really</strong> wants one.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 12 at 8:07

Thread: Marchessault

JAM still has a NTC and is possibly still bitter towards the Jackets for supposedly "not giving him a fair shot" when he was here. I'm not so sure it'd work out.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 12 at 8:06

Thread: Minor Changes

We don't want Mittelstadt (we've got enough project centers) and don't have any reason to sell Korpisalo for spare parts in any case.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 12 at 8:05

Thread: 2021-22

Hmmmm. Our best goal scorer for a depth center we don't need and a 2nd. Hmmmm.

Of course we're not going for that.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 8 at 12:08

Thread: Leafs

At this point it's probably safe to say that unless you're taking a cap dump back, the answer to any Johnsson-to-the-Jackets offer is going to be "thanks but no thanks". Depth wingers are not a need here; the only thing we could use in a trade at this point would be a playmaking star winger.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 8 at 12:07

Thread: Lets see now

No thanks from the Jackets on that Zucker trade. Don't need him, don't want to pay y'all for him.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 8 at 12:05

Thread: Golden Kings

The Jackets say no to that. We don't "need a center", we "needed a #2 center". Kerfoot was never going to cover that need, and now that Domi is here the discussion is closed in any case.

Thread: very very very very very very very unrealistic

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ekaansh</b></div><div>Are you speaking from the Jackets' perspective?</div></div>
Sorry that was unclear. Yes, that'd be from the Jackets' perspective.

<p class="c">* * *</p>
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ekaansh</b></div><div>Oh and dermott can play the right side too</div></div>
We've already got Nutivaara and Kukan doing that, so that's not really a big motivator.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 7 at 9:49

Thread: yes no maybe

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>swinny</b></div><div>I kind of concur. If you can get the Jackets to take on about $1 million, I think it could function well. The other thing to consider is how far away in Perfetti? Wennberg could bridge a gap, but with a lesser cap hit, may just slide in as a reall effective 3C, or a more movable asset.</div></div>
That's probably doable, although there's a part of me that would want another pick in such a scenario. Wennberg, at a more sane level of compensation, is a pretty good player after all.

Thread: very very very very very very very unrealistic

I'm impressed. I saw the title and saw the Jackets logo and thought "this is going to be another Seth Jones poach attempt, isn't it". But it wasn't!

I'm kind of worried about the value of Dermott in that deal, tho. For one, we're already grossly overstrength at LD, and for another, I'm not sure what kind of money he wants and therefore whether or not we can afford to pay him.

Thread: Interesting

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigOaf69</b></div><div>unfortunate that they couldn't get a long-term deal, however it makes a Hab fan feel better assuming Anderson is locked up reasonably

not sure if it's on Domi not liking CBJ's outlook (no reason not to) or what</div></div>
We do have Texier and Foudy waiting in the wings, so I'm presuming it's a risk mitigation thing - Domi bets on himself and a big payday once the flat cap is done, and we make sure that he really will be a fit with Torts and don't have to go with an expensive buyout option if he's not.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigOaf69</b></div><div>weird, everyone on twitter is complaining the deal is 2 years and not 1 or 3+</div></div>
...yeah, I tested it and it claims he's an RFA after a 6-year extension as well. That's an error in Armchair GM.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 7 at 4:06

Thread: Interesting

The "long term outlook" tab on this suggests he'd still be a RFA at the end of that reported two-year term.

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 7 at 1:12

Thread: Second Try

We're basically at the point where there's only two players we'd be attempting to acquire from Toronto - Marner or Nylander. If one of those two isn't involved, then it's likely to be a no-go - we don't need More Depth Wingers and we don't need more depth centers. We're pretty much set everywhere except for that "star playmaking winger" role.

(Well, okay, Matthews would obviously also be nice but he's so far out of reach it's not really worth bringing him up.)

Forum: Armchair-GMOct 7 at 1:04

Thread: Trade today

Ryan was of minimal interest <strong>before</strong> we made the Domi trade. After that trade? Interest is at zero.
