The Jackets have too many depth wingers as is, so the only deal you'll likely be able to get from sending Hathaway here is of the "pay us to take on your cap dump" variety. We just already have that kind of guy in Olivier and he's doing quite well; we don't need another.

Enh; this would also work with a "buyout Elvis" plan since it's only for a year.

Thread: MORE GOALS

You're not going to convince the Jackets to take on a high-priced winger that we don't have roster room for and don't need or want by adding more wingers that we don't have roster room for and don't need or want. That's, like, the opposite of solving the problem.

Thread: Pens All or nothing for Sid

At this point it should basically be a given that anything involving Rakell to the Jackets is an automatic decline. There's no need or desire for him here; he doesn't produce enough to do anything useful above and beyond the umpteen billion wingers already here, and that contract AAV and term is far too excessive.

Thread: leafers

Robertson and Reaves both continue to be of less than no interest to the Jackets. We've got more than enough depth wingers.

I'd rather keep Texier; at least we know he's an NHLer.

Thread: Keep It Simple

Going to assume that Lauko trade is To Whomever Will Accept, because there'd be no place for him on the Jackets... or the Monsters, for that matter.

Thread: Star Summer

Borque looks like he could be really nice, but we've got promising young centers already and we don't have any other viable 1RD prospects.

Thread: Sabres pt 2

Samuelsson's the sort of skillset we'd be looking for on the blueline, but he doesn't have the experience we'd prefer and frankly those injuries scare the heck out of me. I could be sold on this one, but I'm hesitating.

Thread: GoBigOrGoHome

I sincerely hope Nichushkin gets the help he needs and turns things around, but after screwig it up three times I have zero interest in my team taking on that risk at all, even if we're being paid for it.

Thread: A random trade I taught about

Robertson isn't of interest to the Jackets; he'd have nowhere to play here considering all the similar wingers we already have. So no thanks.

Thread: expected success

Broberg wouldn't have anywhere to play here.

Thread: gaudreau

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChrisNapoleon</b></div><div>Can't wait for people to say "Jackets decline" without explaining</div></div>
Much of the time, the explanation's already been given so many, many times over that it ceases to be interesting to do so and responses become merely rote actions delivered just for the sake of reminding people that our team has its own ambitions in the League rather than existing to fuel those of others.

In this case, the reasons for the "no" are:
* we're in no hurry to move Gaudreau; he's been more than fine here
* Lee's capacity as a potential mentor would be useful but that's literally the only value he'd have here
* the pick is of no real interest because the prospect pool here has already been built - we're at the "grow and develop the kids" phase rather than "add more kids" - and the pick isn't high enough to get someone good enough that it'd be worth setting that aside.

Thread: what if

That Laine trade is the 100% exact polar opposite of what the Jackets need. Depth is not a problem here.

Thread: Marner Trade

Glass is pretty much done and wouldn't have anywhere to play up here.

And that Marner trade is more than the Preds should be paying.

Works for the Jackets with or without Webber; that's about what we're hoping to get for Provorov retained at the deadline.

I'm hoping more for a blueliner with more experience for the Jackets, but I could see that working out pretty well.

Thread: could help

I'm not sure if there's room on the Jackets' roster for either of those guys; Texier's been good enough that I'd be inclined to stick with the guy we know.

That and you've got him playing C, which he hasn't done in years. He's pretty established as a winger.

Part of the difference is that I don't think Pegula came out with a public statement saying Tuch isnt going anywhere. But otherwise, yep, we know just how annoying that gets. :(
