Would you guys move #6 and our 3 seconds for #3?

With zero hesitation.
The draft is weaker from the second round and onwards. And not only has Treliving acknowledged that, but others (Burke+Conroy) have said the 2nd rounders are in play.
But it seems like the Blue Jackets want something with a little more substance, i.e. a more established player.
I thought about Hartnell as well, but another roster player would need to go back as well, maybe raymond/bolig/Stajan. But yeah that contract seems a little on the long side

Some expansion details have been confirmed to the teams already.
We don't need to protect Wideman.
I would. I think we have enough prospects on the shelf to sacrifice this year's crop for an elite winger.
Though I think 2 2nds and one of those prospects that doesn't fit into our plans could be enough
Yeah, Gillies is exempt. Still somewhat unclear on Shinkaruk and Poirier; seems like they'll be exempt, which if true, would leave the Flames in a pretty good situation upfront.
They can meet the forward requirement easily (Bouma+Stajan) but not the defencemen part. But that too can be easily rectified with Engelland or Jokipakka getting an extension.
When it comes to acquiring a goalie:
Treliving: Please sell me a goalie. I’ll pay anything.
Horst: Isn’t this a happy coincidence! You are desperate to buy, and we are desperate to sell!
Treliving: Desperate, eh? Advantage…Treliving!
Acquiring a young(ish) goalie through a trade, like say Neuvirth, Kuemper or even Andersen/Gibson just became a whole lot easier. If Ward re-signs in Carolina, Reimer becomes even cheaper to sign. If however Sutter's spirit possesses Treliving for a while and they focus on a veteran, then the Penguins basically have to give Fleury away (unless he agrees to waive his NMC for the draft).

I'm actually not against exposing Frolik and getting out from the last three years of his contract. Even though I do like him. If Poirier/ Shinkaruk or Colbourne can be protected if need be.
So do you want Frolik protected or exposed? You have him as both.1. Gaudreau 2. Monahan 3. Bennett 4. Backlund 5. Frolik 6. Ferland 7. Shinkaruk

Pickard would be a great option. Might be even able to pry him away for a couple of seconds (35th+54th) and a prospect (Klimchuk/Agostino/Culkin/Morrison/Arnold, etc.) or 35th+Colborne. A real shame about Dallas' first.
Would Shore, our 3 x 2nd's get it done?
