ROR?
Best faceoff guy in the league. He has 44 points for a team ranked dead last in scoring. 44 points would be 2nd best on our team. Big cap hit (7.5 mil) but we have enough space.

No thanks. The cap hit doesn't match what he brings.

The price would be steep, but he'd be a top six here.

.... how not?

44 points (would be 2nd best on our team as I said above)
18 goals (would be tied for best on our team)
26 assists (would be 3rd best on our team)
60 percent faceoffs (would be best on our team by miles).

I literally don’t understand at all how you can say “the cap hit doesn’t match what he brings”.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

In b4 “our window is still 2-3 years away let’s stay patient and not ruin our future”

Yarrr, took the words right out me mouth.

Yarrrr

People bitch about Bobrovsky's dollars and he wins a Vezina... but want to bring in a 7.5m cap hit second liner?

Sobotka is lazy as ****. He left them for KHL because he didn't get his $, got his contract before playoffs last year and now just coasting..

Oh I have no interest in Sobotka either, I posted those two tweets because Stastny is a guy I'd keep an eye on

He’s a 2C for Buffalo solely because Eichel is their 1C. Your point lacks credibility. Even PLD would be a 2C for Buffalo. Oh, and last time I checked, he’s a 1C playing first line minutes while Eichel’s been out.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

We would have to send a significant contract back to Buffalo in order to make it work. Or include Jenner in a potential deal. Problem is, is that Jarmo won't be willing to give up significant futures in pretty much any deal.

His career high is 64 points, with several 55 point years sprinkled in. That's on par with what we got out of Wennberg last year, and the pace Dubois has been on since November.

He's a second line player, barring one season of above average output. That isn't worth $7+ million per year.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

He also said that Evander Kane was on his way to Columbus and I’ve literally heard not a single insider report anything about this. Elliotte Friedman was on sportsnet last night during the Oilers intermission.. he was asked about Kane and mentioned 3 teams that could be a fit and the Jackets were not one of the 3 teams mentioned.

This dude seems to tweet because he thinks he’s funny and thinks he has some credibility because of his past NHL career.

That's exactly what he's doing. People need to stop using him as a source. It was funny the first year or so but the act has gone dry.

He's got 5 years left to run on essentially a contract which can't be bought out.

He's probably peaked as well.

Not saying that he wouldn't help the team, but I think that $7.5m worth of AAV could find more productive uses.

Throw them Wennberg and Savard and prospect bingo bongo.

Reminder that if you have NHL Network, they are showing Sportsnets Trade Deadline coverage starting at 8AM-4PM I believe. They had Friedman, Kypreos, etc.

If you have WatchESPN, they are doing a TSN live stream of their Tradecentre show, starting at 8AM on ESPN3. They are also airing TSN coverage on ESPN2 starting at 2PM. They have McKenzie and Dreger.

Also just a side note hopefully we can keep this thread active through 4 tomorrow because I won't have much time tomorrow to watch the NHL network or go thread by thread in the trade section. My dog unfortunately is on the losing side of a 3 year battle with diabetes and tomorrow around 10 is when we take her to the vet to be laid to rest. She's been with me through 3 major back surgeries and never left my side knowing I was in pain. Slept with me in chairs when I couldn't lay in beds. She barked every time the damn cannon went off on the TV but I know that was her way of cheering on the jackets haha.

We just laid our 13 year old dog down last month, me and my 8 year old both took it really hard.

Best wishes, sorry for what you are going through. They truly are part of the family!

Very sorry to hear about this. So sorry that you had to make the difficult decision with her.

Take care.

 

[EspenK]

Tough day ahead for you. Concentrate on the good times and memories and remember you're doing it for her. Take care.

My body is ready for the disappointment

STL fans haaaate Berglund, and Sobotka... sigh.

I watch a lot of Blues games. I think we would be hugely disappointed in either one. Seems like they are non-existent most nights. Sobotka is not the player he was after returning to the Blues. Pass.
