Thread: Columbus Blue Jackets signed Jordan Dumais (3 Years / $950,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div>I'm just praying Columbus develops him right because he's one of the better players I've ever watched play for the Mooseheads.

Too many people got scared of his size, despite him being roughly the same size, if not slightly bigger than, players like DeBrincat, Caulfield, Point, and Gaudreau.

It’s already pretty clear he’s ready to move past the Q, so I imagine he’ll get some AHL time once his season is up; but, considering where this team is, and the abundance of Ws that are fighting for playing time as is, I doubt he gets rushed to the big club.

Found our perps 😂

Come on. He’s #69. Nice.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KSIxSKULLS</b></div><div> I've been saying for months before he was drafted that he was a 1st round talent. Now leading the QMJHL in points at 18. Crazy player. Future top 6 forward.</div></div>

I think Scott Wheeler had him as a 1st-Rounder.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>kster34</b></div><div>Columbus gm has to be battling Kenny Holl and for worst gm of the year; not saying this is good return, but why keep Boone if you can get value for him? Who cares if he’s your captain?
Kekalainen signed Johnny hockey and Laine to major long term FA deals and they are already out of the playoffs. Do you really think this team can compete next year or even year after without pretty big changes?</div></div>

A lot can change in a year, Just ask MTL. Certainly doesn’t help to have almost half your cap hit on LTIR. I think with a Bedard or Fantilli, this team could be in a much better place come ‘23.

Having a great GM make good moves doesn’t always create on-ice results. Just ask NJ, the team who “won” the off-season like, three years in a row and only now are starting to show for it.

And, yes, CBJ could get value for Jenner, but just because ACGMs like to trade for Jenner doesn’t mean GMJK is getting calls for him. I doubt anybody is right now. Outside of an awful Gudbranson contract, I’ve been pretty happy with GMJK.

Thread: Next season
Depends on the extension, but I’d want Boqvist swapped for CC, preferably. The fit feels there for Horvat, but with Sillinger, Johnson, and whichever C this lottery team likely picks, I’m starting to feel more “meh” about a Horvat trade. I wouldn’t enter any sort of bidding war for him.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>If i'm Horvat i ask for 8 years $9,000,000 per or sign elsewhere. Columbus cheap ownership would rather let good players walk before signing them for what they're worth. Laine and Werenski and Gaudreau are the exceptions i guess.</div></div>

Isn’t “Laine and Werenski and Gaudreau” what undermines the point that they’re cheap? Like, to the “exceptions that disprove the rule,” extent?

Either way, if CBJ’s reputation is to be cheap, then I am very happy to have not paid Bobrovsky, Johansen, and Anderson their contracts. And I would not want to give Horvat an 8 x $9M either. Good luck to the team that does.
