Too much going to Columbus. Not sure either team touches this trade.

How’s that going for them?

Seriously, dude?
Look at the Devils this year, look at the Canucks last year

Down years happen. Doesn’t change the fact the rebuild is done. We’re not going down that road again.

I like Jenner but I wouldn't trade Mittelstadt for him. Mitts is 5yrs younger, more productive the last few seasons and has the same length of team control. As for the Werenski portion that's way too much even for the Power haters

 

[Viqsi]

This is pretty much the exact polar opposite of what the Jackets need. We need more established NHL guys for the kids to learn from, not Even More Kids. Even if they're really really awesome looking kids.

I dont care how they look, I want good hockey players

This is nearly too silly to even respond to. Nearly.

I would be curious about what Columbus wants to Jenner alone.

They want more vets. Why would they trade their Captain and one of their only vets?

 

[Chainshot]

About the same as it is for the Sabres. At least the Jackets have legit issues with the health of a bunch of their key players rather than whatever the hell has been happening with the collection of playable boo boos for some important Sabres.

Doesn't Buffalo have enough injury issues already?

Sabres counter with Jiricek and a 1st for future considerations….

Well, I don't know why Buffalo is giving up so much on this. Power is all of 21 and for all the abuse he gets in Sabreland he is having a decent sophomore year. He's put up some point, he's a plus player, and he's locked down for what will be a decent contract at $8.3 as the term evolves. He's 6'6", but he's not going to be Chris Pronger, which is why people get down on him. Werenski is a better player today but not by a ton. He also has less term and more cap. Doesn't move the needle at all for me.

Now Jenner is a nice heavy forward, who can hit and take a faceoff. He's a guy Buffalo needs but two years of term isn't ideal. Why does Columbus trade him? I don't know if Columbus wants high-end draft talent, which is what Buffalo has to offer today. Is the team competing? Does it need scoring? Caset Mittlestaedt has more offensive upside. The garbage about not doing a pullup is nonsense -- he is strong on the puck. He also has 1.25 years of team control so that might not fit Columbus's needs.

I honestly have no sense whether Columbus is competing for now or trying o build.

Why would Buffalo trade Mittlestadt when he's their only center playing close to a 200' game? They also don't need another offense leaning left-handed dman. A kids for kids trade would be interesting though,

Columbus is trying to develop the kids that have already been acquired, and so to the extent that anything other than time and patience are necessary we need quality skilled veteran mentors. Too many of the ones we have aren't helping very much.

I think lost in all of this is how Jenner is very much the sort of well-respected 200' veteran players who can show the younger players the way and THAT has intrinsic value beyond just acquiring more picks or prospects. Buffalo fans should understand that if no one else does - that youth will not always ripen well when there isn't guidance in their locker room.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. You get a cookie.

Now could you do us a favor and explain that to the Avs fans as well? They've been f***ing relentless...

Don't see why Buffalo does this. Are they in win this season mode?

Heh. Good luck with that V. Maybe just a bot to reply "So Jack Roslovic then?" in any Columbus threads asking for Jenner?
