<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Ajp_18</b></div><div>There’s about a 0% chance Columbus makes that trade. They have no use for more wings and it’s highly doubtful they move another 1st anytime soon.</div></div>

Agreed, the move weakens an already weak CBJ team down the middle and giving up the first next year it's not worth it at all.

Also we're looking for people for the GM Game here on CF currently, you would be a great addition to our game and we'd love to have you. It's not a large daily time commitment and can be fit into a busy schedule easily (studying engineering in college and I still have plenty of free time). If you're interested or have questions please let me know, can either discuss here on CF or if you have discord and want to use that to discuss just let me know. Thanks!

Thread: Last Move Opening Night lines
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>Ive been thinking about lines a lot and I go back and forth on Jenner in the top 6. He drove me nuts playing with skill guys last year, but that was in a center role playing defense first.

I love adding granlund. I think he and nyquist can develop amazing chemistry and he can step into a center role when injuries happen. I also think he is the most likely candidate to bounce back to form when on a defense first team. He’ll put up 50 points but play like a shut down guy which will fit perfectly in cbj.</div></div>
I was originally gonna put Nyquist on the second line but a line of Gus-Domi-Cam and i wasn’t too sure who was gonna be able to go fetch pucks as well, they’re all a bit on the smaller side and even though Domi plays with a bit of an edge, i haven’t seen enough of him to know if he’s a guy capable of that. Jenner had his best stretch on that Wennberg-Vanek line in 2018 before he had to move back to Center, so i think he could play on that second line. Foligno was really the only guy i just couldn’t see on that line at LW. Seems like he’s lost a step or two the past year and crammed 2020-21 schedule won’t help that.

I agree about Granlund, it feels like adding one more complimentary top 6 guy would be huge and there’s the Koivu connection too. Price shouldn’t be prohibitive to sign either. His skillset feels like an excellent fit for this team.

Thread: CBJ Fans - Granlund Dadonov or Hoffman
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dopplsan</b></div><div>I go (1) Granlund; (2) Dadonov; (3) Hoffman.

I think Granlund would be a great fit, and the cheapest - a guy looking for a bounce back year. Plus, already having Koivu on the team as well can maybe help persuade him.

I'd dig Dadonov, but really only for three years or less. And I worry some team is going to throw five or six at him.

Hoffman is the best pure offensive force, but I know he has some big defensive gaps. Considering we already took on Domi, who has defensive questions himself, I'd be a bit uncomfortale compounding defensive liabilities. I really only see CBJ signing him if they can get him on a bargain - something even less than what he is asking for, which is purportedly a one year deal for around $5.5MM to $6.5MM.</div></div>
I agree with pretty much everything here. I’d maybe swap Dadonov and Granlund as my 1/2 but I’d have Hoffman as my #3 for sure. As great of a pure goal scorer as Hoff is I have serious questions about how he fits into our teams system at 5v5 now. On a one year deal I’m totally fine with Hoffman but I think any sort of commitment of more than 2 years of Hoffman is very risky for us.

One of my few concerns about Granlund would be that he’s played RW most of his career and I’m not sure how comfortable he’d be either moving to LW or one of our existing RWs moving over there. I do think Granlunds skill works better in a more structured team like a Columbus or Minnesota and it obviously helps to have his longtime linemate and friend in Koivu on the team.

Overall i think Dadonov is the best all around fit. He’s not a total defensive liability, he can play LW, he’s a proven 25+ goal scorer and an effective guy on the power play too. I’d love a Dadonov-Dubois-Bjorkstrand line. And i think he’s likely to sign a short term 1-2 year deal as well. I don’t think any teams are willing to throw around longer term than 3 years unless the player is taking a massive pay cut tbh.
