Based on some tweets, we seem to be keeping an eye on CBJ and they're watching us as well.
This usually means nothing, but always interesting info.
I'd guess Wennberg.
Columbus needs a C in a big way. STEPAN for Wennberg? That would be a pretty lateral swap but huge win for Coyotes in terms of age. And speed.We seem to have been scouting CBJ for the past few deadlines and nothing has ever come out of it.

Is Wennberg still in Tort’s doghouse? Could be a decent buy low gamble. I like a Wennberg a lot. He scored 1 goal in his first 50 games this season. I could see Columbus being frustrated enough to move him. He’s in the second year of a pretty hefty contract (6yrs, 4.9per).
So, you want to add a really low-scoring forward?
I wonder why I cringe a little here.
If he had a shorter term I’d be okay with it being a low risk move.
He is signed until june 2023.
Unless somebody think he can be fixed, that is a horrible contract.
Must be one of the worst!
Yeah, Wennberg is a good young player having a tough season. Even woth him struggling so badly, he’s still a .43ppg.So, you want to add a really low-scoring forward?

The previous three seasons where he was 23, 22 and 21 years old, he averaged 72gp 10g 35a 994 FOs at 46% - playing both PK and PP regularly. This on decent CBus teams.
Anyone remember when Max Domi had a bad season and we traded him? How’s he doing? They’re from the same draft year, by the way.
In their three seasons preceding this one, their production was pretty similar, no?Max didn't have that contract and had multiple 40+ point seasons at a younger age. I mean I'm not against acquiring him, i believe in changes of scenery, but if we're acquiring that contract it better not be for anyone remotely significant.

Those just aren't available via trade. They have to be drafted and developed. Even then it's no sure thing. Strome as good as he's played in this recent run is still likely only a 2C. Schmaltz was fantastic with Keller but I'm hesitant to claim he's going to be anything better than a 2C.We need a young, proven 1C. Young enough to still be in his prime by the time we recover from paying the ransom to obtain him.
I want to see a Keller-Dvorak-Schmaltz line...I feel like it would be extremely good.
