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.

<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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We've already got Nutivaara and Kukan doing that, so that's not really a big motivator.

<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.

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.

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.

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

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.)

I'm assuming Columbus is playing the role of "any team that will take him" rather that us actually doing the trade.
That said, that's one heck of an impressive discount for the guy. I'd do it just to flip him for a better pick.

Under the radar
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Eli</b></div><div>Thanks. My mistake. WSH definitely has to sweeten the above, then, even though Hagelin had a better offensive season than Wennberg, and is 300x better defensively. With the difference in age, and with asking for big retention inside the division, Caps add a 2nd, CBJ dumps three minor league contracts to balance the salary.
eta: I checked and the Jackets don't have three expensive old minor leaguers like most teams. But I don't think Nutivaara lived up to expectations this year, falling from 20 pts to 9 after signing at 2.6M. Moving him opens up a spot for another prospect to develop on the third pair, while the team still has its excellent top-four. If Nutivaara looked like a sunk cost of $5.2, then from Columbus' perspective, this reduces the total cost of Wennberg to $2M, at the above retention. But I'd have to try building the team to see if WSH can make it work. Might be tough to extend Ovechkin next summer.</div></div>
Mmmmmaybe. The idea of moving Nutivaara to get rid of Wennberg is a little disagreeable on principle (he's more in the "see if we can get good picks for him" category), but obviously it depends on how the proposal works out. I wouldn't even try to poke at it as I don't know Washington's priorities well enough, tho.
