How hilarious would it be if the Jackets just started looking for a Top 6 C just recently and actually got 1......while the habs who've been looking for a Top C for over a year still dont
I believe pieces considered "off limits" would be:
Wennberg (moving him just perpetuates the 1 top-6 center issue)
Panarin
PLD
Werenski
Jones
Bobrovsky
Beyond that it's a discussion. If there's even a discussion to be had.
If the Jackets trade for Duchene and Sign Kovalchuk....what would their lines look like?
Tyler Bozak for Ryan Murray
*ducks and runs*
The reason the Habs haven't gotten their top 6 C is because they have a GM with no balls and limited intelligence to do the trade for one.
I hope that is at 50% retained and a good prospect added from EDM... Savard is going no where and we just gave Vegas a first to keep Anderson. The most overpaid 3C in the league isn't getting some of our best players/young guysRNH for Savard+?
RNH for Anderson+?

You better sprint hahaTyler Bozak for Ryan Murray

Jenner is worth more then RNH. Jenner wears an A here and had a slow year but went hot to end the year and was 1 of our best players in the playoffs. He had a 30G season the year before but just didn't have the PP time this year to get a chance to score that much. RNH would still be the 3C here and Jenner is as capable of a 3C for us as RNH only much much much cheaper.RNH for Jenner, then Murray and Calvert for Kovalchuk:
Panarin-Wennberg-Kovalchuk
Foligno-RNH-Atkinson
PLD/Milano-Dubinsky-Bjorkstrand
Hartnell-Sedlak-Anderson
Werenski-Jones
JJ-Savard
Carlsson-Nutivaara
Harrington
He will likely be the 3C if we don't get an upgrade as a 19yo and if we do get an upgrade he will still likely make the team but be eased in as a bottom 6 LW.Pierre Luc Dubios get a shot?
I find that hard to believe considering Bergevin has been one of the most proactive GM's the last couple of years and alos made one of the biggest trade franchise history (subban).

They're going to get Duchene, aren't they?
