Thread: Deadline

We can't afford to lose Gavrikov. We need <strong>more</strong> like him, frankly.

Thread: all time active jets

I was about to seriously question the removal of Ehlers from an all-time list until I realized the name of the AGM was missing the phrase "currently on other teams". :)

Um, no. If you want us to take on that Mrazek contract, <strong>you</strong> pay <strong>us</strong>. The Jackets have no need for an additional goaltender (heck, we're trying to move Korpi as is to make room for Tarasov), and have less than zero interest in paying an injured backup almost as much as our starter.

Thread: What Seattle could have done so far with my expansion draft

You go to all that trouble to get Joey and Atkinson back together on the same team and then <strong>don't</strong> put them on the same line? For shame. :)

Thread: Hawks land shane wright and win seth jones trade

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dopplsan</b></div><div>Jones has looked better, but 8 x $9.5M hasn’t even started yet.

Plus, getting Wright doesn’t mean you guys kept the pick - it just gets transferred to 2023. Unprotected.

And if that 2023 1st ends up being just as high, well, I’m still largely happy as a CBJ fan.</div></div>
This. I don't think it's possible for Chicago to win the trade outright, but I do think there's still a chance for it to be a win-win for both teams.

Thread: Summer Trades

Um. Hello? You're aware that we no longer employ John Tortorella, right? So, y'know, that whole "he's a Torts player" excuse that was unacceptable even back then is even more out of touch now, right?

Thread: Deadline Malkin

I would be... extremely shocked if that was an acceptable price for Malkin, and I still think it's a bit too early to be presuming we'll be buyers at the deadline anyways. We can all enjoy the early returns while they're here because it's fun and awesome and wonderful, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.

Thread: Retool

No, we <strong>STILL</strong> do not want Petterson. Especially not as the centerpiece for a Laine trade. We have more than enough LHD. Barring a "disastrous injuries on the way to a Cup run" scenario, there will be no point during the entirety of Petterson's contract when we want him. Stop trying.

You attempted to send Kerfoot to the Jackets. Your proposal automatically fails.

Thread: Deadline

1st or no deal. There's a legitimate debate at this point as to whether or not we sell Domi at all given how well he and the team together are doing so far, so quantity really isn't going to do it. In particular, Engvall's presence in the proposal is kind of a poison pill.

Thread: Year 2

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>He’s great but I do think we have a log jam at wing. Especially bottom 6 guys.

Picking up someone like Jost does not relieve the logjam. And I'm not sure if Maltsev would be much of an add to the system in any case. I suppose it's not impossible Robinson gets moved, but he's not really casually expendable.

Thread: 2 birds 1 stone

Rielly had his chance to be a Blue Jacket when we drafted him, and he opted to blow us off and pursue the college free agency loophole, and now there's nowhere in the lineup for him to play. No thanks.

Thread: Father Holland Sells The Farm

No. Stop it, for G-d's sake. Gavrikov is not, never was, and never will be made available. He's basically the only primarily defensive defenseman we have. We need MORE of him, not to give him away.

Thread: Trade Deadline

Assuming the Jackets do opt for low-profile buys at the deadline, we'd want a defensive RD, and IIRC that doesn't really describe Stecher.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>Nothing in that trade interest Columbus. We want a first or a second and a good prospect for domi.

This. We're more than fine at the wing; JvR's cap hit and term puts him in "<strong>you</strong> pay <strong>us</strong>" territory.

Thread: Dont do anything stupid lou

I'm amused at the idea of Chara mentoring the youngsters on our blueline, but I dunno if we're actually going to be doing a playoff push or not. The team's above expectations right now and that's awesome, but we're still kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Saskleaf</b></div><div>Kind of not really lol. Was that 2016-17?</div></div>
It was. We'd gotten him on near league-minimum and put him in as a fourth-line support guy and power play specialist, and he put up 50 points. Earned him a nice contract with Vancouver, and has bounced around elsewhere in the league afterward.

Remember that one year when we had an insane killer powerplay and won 16 games in a row? That was the year we had Gagner.

Thread: Big trade at the TDL

Mike Rielly already had his chance to be a Blue Jacket when we drafted him and chose to blow us off instead. And we can't afford to lose Gavrikov; we don't have enough decent shutdown guys.

Thread: All In no matter what happens with JG and MT off season

There is literally nothing in the Calgary Flames organization that I would take in return for Oliver Bjorkstrand. Literally nothing. He's the best overall forward we have.

Thread: What does this package deal cost

I'd honestly just say Gavrikov flat out isn't available. While that's not technically 100% true, a "you have to convince us to give up this guy we'd desperately need an exact replacement for immediately" type return would be necessary. We just don't have enough shutdown types.

It says "unrealistic" right in the name, so at least the OP is aware of such. :)

Thread: changing it up next season

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dopplsan</b></div><div>I think I saw some variation of this trade to CBJ, and people weren’t happy about it.

CBJ would likely want to keep one of Peeke or CC. We’d be willing to add Bemstrom or Foudy to this trade in their place, because we are flush with young forwards and in need of RD.</div></div>
I'd be really ambivalent about doing it in any case; buying high on Mangiapane's contract year strikes me as a good way to potentially commit cap suicide. I'm also admitedly kind of not sure what to think about Andersson; I'd need to see more of him first.

Thread: Next off season Keith retires

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>Barrie-for-Nyqvist as a hockey trade probably works, but it really doesn't work for Columbus as both Bean and Boqvist are already very offensively-minded defenders. If there was possibly a third team involved to offer a player that better suited the needs of the Blue Jackets or a contract with picks then I could see it working.</div></div>
This. If we go for another RHD (Bean's emergence alongside Werenski has made that need a lot less pressing all of a sudden), what we really need is a stabilizing defensive depth type. Someone who Larsen can throw out there with Gavrikov and tell the opposing team "YOU SHALL NOT PASS. ...or get shots on net either, for that matter".
