Speculation: 2019 offseason thread III

[Kshahdoo]

It does seem to be something that would be right up Jarmo's alley, as he is on record as saying he wants to wait to see who is up against the cap, and then make a move. Also, makes too much sense as a Panarin replacement. Speaking of which, the original Panarin acquisition was very similar, as CHI couldn't keep Panarin under the cap.

Only problem is if Gusev becomes a superstar here and we are right back to crying in our beers when he leaves for the NYR in 2 years.

Gusev is different, than Panarin. He hates parties, glamorous life and a lot of buzz around his person. His wife isn't a fashionable diva, so he'll feel himself pretty comfortable in Columbus.

The reason Vegas would want picks or a not NHL ready prospect over an NHL player is those would be pieces to flip at the deadline if they have a hole that needs to be filled for the playoffs next year. They were active this year (Stone), so they are willing to part with assets to strengthen their team.

 

[JacketsDavid]

It's an analogy.

Vegas trading Gusev because of cap problems is like us trading Werenski because of cap problems. We wouldn't do it. We would trade lesser players, like Riley Nash, then sign Werenski.

But can Jarmo call Gusev and get him to tell him how much he loves CBUS?

Listen I'm all for pursuing Gusev. If he's a budding star we either have 2 years with him or we trade him for other assets. I don't give a crap if a guy is locked into CBUS for the rest of his life I want great hockey players who will play hard while they are here.

Vegas is definitely against the Cap. Now will they trade Gusev I don't know. But we should pursue.

A small part of me would like to sign Boyle for 1 or 2 years. Yeah, past his prime but a consummate pro who would definitely be an asset to our youngsters. Bottom 6 guy now for sure but there's a benefit I believe he'd bring to a young club. Just a thought outside the box.

Interesting. All more the reason to go after him then

And if we miss the playoffs, he would be valuable at the deadline given his postseason experience

Good to know, though I'm not as concerned with his attitude. Do you think he'd be good in the NHL?

 

[Fro]

I'm not giving up roster players for Gusev...picks/prospects only...especially if Clarkson is attached

Makes sense to me.

Nobody knows that, but he dominated at every level he’s competed at so far.

To put it simple, he has a much better pedigree coming into the league than Panarin did.

Does he like baby animals?

I've seen the stats. I'm curious if KHL watchers think he's much better than Shipachyov was, or Nigel Dawes or any of the other top KHL guys. How does he compare to Dadonov? How is his overall game? Does he have the attributes that would make you guess he'd do well in the NHL?

Dadonov is opportunist - he's very good in taking opportunities to score goals, and Gusev is a creative, he creates goals for himself and linemates. He's always been better, than Dadonov.

He doesn't have Saaditis that's for sure.

 

[Old Guy]

Sounds like Jarmo thinks we're done in the UFA market. Not too aggressive in trades either. So, this is potentially the team we will have in October, save a move or two.

Over Jarmo's time in Columbus, it seems to me that he comes out and speaks to the media when he is done, not just at the end of July 1st. It's not like I've researched this with last signing announcement and date/time of presser. It's just a feeling.

 

[Jackets16]

It's a terrible analogy and you're way overcomplicating this but whatever makes you happy.

No, it isn't. No, he isn't.

 

[Jackets16]

I can guarantee if we don't get Gusev its not because of this. Jarmo isn't really afraid to make bold moves. Even though Panarin came back to bite him (only because he left) , that doesn't mean the next guy won't stay.

I don't think he "came back to bite him" either. I'd make that trade again every time.

 

[Jackets16]

He better hope Stan Bowman has temporary insanity again or Chiarelli becomes someone's GM.

LOL. So, the only time Jarmo makes a good move is because someone else is an idiot? The lengths some posters will go on here to not give credit to Jarmo or to complain about the Blue Jackets is amazing.

 

[InfiniteElement]

Specifically ones in cages.

 

[Fro]

Only trade in hindsight I'd take back is duchene...that 1st could have been used on a lot this offseason...

Not Dzingel/Kinkaid/McQuaid?

Especially 2 picks for McQuaid... still scratching my head.

What could it have been used on (other than drafting a prospect)?

 

[MAHJ71]

Portzline actually being able to put out a correct article on whether or not the Jackets could do a max offer sheet

 

[Fro]

Not Dzingel/Kinkaid/McQuaid?

Dzingle- perhaps...he just didnt work out, we traded for a 30g guy, I would take that chance

Kinkaid - no, we needed some depth, I wish we had resigned him and let korpi go

Mcquaid - no bc it's not his fault he was cheapshotted, I felt he played ok for us...we need depth there with experience
