Seravalli: Columbus engaged in trade talks to move defenseman

[Viqsi]

beauvillier + the ability to get blankenburg into the lineup >>> the marginal risk of losing one of foudy/bemstrom to a waiver claim (both passed last year more than once)

I'm not convinced Beauvillier is that much of an upgrade, honestly.

 

[Siludin]

Canucks probably offering Podkolzin since he's waiver exempt

 

[Voight]

They didn't see this coming beforehand after adding two top four d-men earlier in the off season?

 

[Bond]

Lindholm for dman dump + Sillinger + Marchenko?
Flames then flip one of their own dmen.

swap out marchenko for chinakhov and i'd do it.

worth it. "we shouldn't acquire good players because it means we'll have to eventually trade lesser players" is a loser mentality.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

We have to see how Manson recovers. If he is fully recovered, im fine with a poor 6RD. If hes done, LTIR manson and get peeke for 4RD and get another decent 6RD with the savings. Use the cap next year for Toews' raise.

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Canucks have a surplus of forward, some can give you 20s goals and 50s pts

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I'm going to guess this is Andrew Peeke to the Canucks. They need another RHD.

 

[krutovsdonut]

cbj has either had no bids on the players they really want to move or has outwaited the market. at this stage the usual outcome is to take the loss on the least valuable asset to get out from under their situation.

I didn't say they moves weren't worth it. I'm just surprised they've waited this long to try and move some extra d-men, figured they would've done this a couple months ago when more teams had cap space.

They don't really need to move anyone. They're under the cap. If a team is desperate to trade someone, it's usually because they are over the cap.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

After the preseason he's had, Texier is not available for anything you will willingly offer.

Lmao

What's up with Manson?

 

[cbjthrowaway]

Lmao

alex texier:
1. was probably the jackets' best forward two years ago when he got hurt
2. spent all of last year in europe after a few deaths in his family
3. has looked even better this preseason than he did when we last saw him
4. is cheap and can play pretty much any role we need him to

saying "he's not available for anything you'd offer" doesn't mean that he's an elite top line forward, it's just an acknowledgement of the above circumstances.

the jackets expect him to have a big year. he's more valuable to them in the lineup than he is as a trade chip given that he hasn't played on NHL ice in almost two years.

 

[McJedi]

They should pay up for Kovacevic then. Cheap ass contract, size, grity and ability to defend.

The giveaways are a problem and his PK isn’t what you’d hope for. I suppose I’d part with a Sean Behrens for him. But I doubt the Habs actually want to move him with how little J Barron has impressed.

can they field their preferred lineup without waiving anyone?

 

[Youngguns80]

Yes they just did

 

[SteelCityCannon]

Hey I’d take a 2 for Peeke. Or a 5 for Bean.

I feel like trading Boq would be a mistake. He’s the guy I’d be hanging onto. Durability is a concern but his offense has so much potential.

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

I imagine CBJ are looking for pick or a young prospect, or maybe a 2 for 1. 1 for 1 trades for established players don't help the log jam of borderline NHL players.

Available players are likely: Bean, Peeke, Boqvist, Roslovic, Foudy

 

[krutovsdonut]

Yes they just did

my bad, i thought they wanted jiricek up.

 

[squashmaple]

Yeah but Jiricek

Yeah, but Bedard. And you definitely don't get Bedard if you pick Jiricek since you don't have a 2023 first at all.

I see the Avs being a team Columbus would be talking with. Avs need a bottom pair RHD to play with Girard. Preferably a bigger guy like Peeke.

Vancouver isn’t going to be the only team with a hat in this ring.

And we know Colorado loves them some former Blue Jackets.

My personal preference if we're taking cap back is trading for Beauvillier straight up for one of them since he's an expiring UFA and I like his playstyle. I'd take him over most of the marginal forwards (Robinson, Foudy. etc).

 

[Izzy Goodenough]

From a Tankist perspective, what is really exciting about acquiring Andrew Peeke is his admirable -41 +/- in 21 minutes played per game last year.

He could help any team that wants to finish last.

[Kaners PPGs]

Makes the Jones trade hurt less because Boqvist isn't THAT good.

So chalk it up as a very disappointing top 10 pick instead.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

Boqvist to Montreal makes way to much sense imo. Could instantly take over PP1 and the don’t really have a offensive Dman in their system besides Hutson

 

[Frankie Blueberries]

I'm not convinced Beauvillier is that much of an upgrade, honestly.

He’s good for 40-50 points and can play anywhere in the lineup. Basically an above average 3rd liner.
