Proposal: Blues-Blue Jackets

[BlueDream]

Jackets decline. Blues built this mess
This is the reason Alex P is leaving

We have the best team in the Western Conference. It’s far from a mess.

But yes you enjoy whatever it is the Blue Jackets have.

There is admittedly a part of me that is all "we get Dunn? WE MUST MAKE THIS WORK SOMEHOW". But the amount of cap being taken on to make it happen - and also having Andy and Dubois to resign along with the newly-acquired Dunn - makes this just a little too heavy. I mean, that's ~$7.05m in cap space gone between Allen, Bozak, and retaining on Murray rather than losing his hit entirely, which (if the cap stays at $81.5 like some rumors are saying) puts us close up against the cap WITHOUT any RFAs signed. I dunno about y'all, but I don't think the ~$2.5m of cap space that would remain is enough to sign all three of Dubois, Dunn, and Anderson. And that's before one considers that Dunn is a luxury buy, what with already having Werenski and Gavrikov kicking ass and taking names at LD...
