Thread: Blue Jackets Lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>I honestly don’t know what to do with nyquist. Can’t play top 6 can’t play bottom line and doesn’t fit with the third line. At this point what do you do with him. He’s been frustrating all year long.</div></div>

I don't get why we felt the need to give him the A. Maybe he was huge in the lockerroom, but he hadn't played in over a year and even before that he hadn't really earned the title on ice in my opinion. Now we put ourselves in a spot with a bunch of young wingers coming up and a guy in a leadership role that we realistically need to ship out. The league already thinks no one wants to play in columbus and trading your 4th captain/alternate in 12 months can't be encouraging to players.

Thread: Jackets Next Year with Elias Redo
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>sabres89</b></div><div>Is korpisalo good? Im not watching him, he is now living sub .900, and has been for some time. Giving up an early second for a goalie signed for 4 years is probably fine- if hes good. Is he? The numbers say no.</div></div>

Tough to say. He get's no help, but will make some huge saves to bail the team out, then he lets in a soft one. He's better than the numbers present but not sure he will ever be a #1 goalie in the league.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ajp_18</b></div><div>I wouldn’t make that trade for Pettersson either, sorry but he isn’t worth 3 1sts, 2 of which being valued in the top 10 right now.</div></div>

I agree. I don't think we can afford to lose boqvist in this. The lower first and Johnson is probably best I would be willing to go. Maybe add Foudy, Bemstrom, Gus, Tex and get a lower pick in return depending on the winger.

Thread: Best Case CBJ TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dopplsan</b></div><div>-All told, gonna be an interesting TDL. If the team is still competing, I could see Jarmo letting it ride, particularly if the CHI pick is still looking to be a Top-10 pick in the '22 draft. Highly doubt they give up assets for any rentals or short-term boosts; anything they pick up would likely have some long-term play for the team.</div></div>

I agree with everything you are saying. I think the only way we make a move to add is if a team needs to get cap compliant and Jarmo gets a deal he can't turn down. Would realistically need to be a defenseman that can contribute the next 3-5 years or a goalie if they want more time for Tarasov to develop. But I think the goal for this TDL is to clear out some of the mess to keep building and evaluating for 2023 and beyond.

Thread: Best Case CBJ TDL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Mstrefe1</b></div><div>Kukan has blocked a lot of shots so far this season. He just hasn't had the ice time needed in order to show his true potential. IMO, he is worth more than a seventh. Harrington always seems to be the 7th D-man. Hoffman is someone we picked up from Carolina for a 7th because Jarmo and crew saw something in his play. Why would they turn around and trade him almost immediately before he has time to completely acclimate to the NHL and AHL.</div></div>

Too many wingers, especially bottom 6 wingers. His deal expires this year and there's no guarantee he would return to Columbus, hes also 29. Like I said, I like him a lot and he's still adjusting, but we have to clear out room for the Russians and draft picks.
