Thread: How bout a different trade
Jenner's value is hard to pinpoint so you'll usually see Jackets fans on this site (and apparently Flyers fans, hi Hammerwise) inflating it or shortcutting to say he's simply not available. Which is true based on public statements from ownership down to the player himself last season. He's franchise leader in games played. Captain on a very young, chaotic team. His internal value just exceeds what any other team would rightfully pay to acquire him (in a vacuum that's a first and a prospect, maybe a little more considering how cheap his contract is, but again, you have to convince the team to let him go). Like in a vacuum is a goalie a season removed from a Vezina a good start for a larger Jenner trade? Of course. But Columbus certainly isn't adding a pick along with Jenner to acquire a soon-to-be UFA goalie with a NMC he isn't waiving for Columbus while they're rebuilding. Plus there's the extra opportunity cost here in having to move Elvis or lose Tarasov, and then to pay Ullmark next year.
