every time I see another person think we want any defensemen at all I die a little more inside

A different starting base.Boy Artemi would look good beside Johnny Hockey.
Not sure what it'd take from Calgary's perspective though. Bennett/Jankowski, Frolik, First + what else?
A different starting base.
It's also Calgary. If Panarin doesn't want to commit to living in C-Bus, he's certainly not going to CalgaryDon't think we're in the mix then. Our stuff is either too valuable or not valuable enough.

Q2: What kind of roster-focused return would you guys like?
A2: Probably the best we can realistically hope for is a "2-for-1" type deal, in which we essentially replace Panarin's contribution with "brute force" from two other players. In such a case, expect the two guys going to us to combined score more than Panarin did last year. (That's why it's called "brute force".) Forwards and minor picks only, please.
Q5: Can we do something based around a defenseman?
A5: Nope. We're more than set on defense, so that doesn't actually bring value back to the team. And making up the difference would cost your team so much more that it's not going to be worth it to either of our teams. Stick to forwards and picks only, please.
Q6: What kinds of roster forwards are you looking for?
A6: Top-6. Specifically, guys who would be at home on the first or second lines - because we're losing an elite first-liner here. Ideally, they'd also be around the same age as Panarin (mid-20s). Middle-6 (at home on the second or third lines) is not going to be acceptable unless we're getting a REALLY good forward prospect back as part of the deal; we do not have someone who can move up to the first line. Coming to us with two middle-6 forwards and a late 1st, in particular, is going to get you torn apart like a deer amongst hungry wolves. The same goes for coming to us with defensemen in that package - forwards and picks only, please.
The fun thing is that when I wrote item #1 about "differing schools of thought", I was directly thinking of your focus on higher-value futures.Viqsi is off her game.
She's trying to unload Panarin ASAP to end the drama.
Fortunately Jarmo's job isn't to minimize emotional discomfort, and he'll wait for better.
I did forget to mention that, so you get a cookie.There's also no reason at this point to think that a sign-and-trade is impossible. I'd bet there's about 5-10 teams Panarin would like to discuss an extension with. So we should expect a much bigger return than just for a rental.
See above re: differences of opinion.2 for 1 is not helpful unless we get 2 serious upgrades -- the Jackets have scorers on all 4 lines, adding quantity doesn't provide much on the margin. It just moves Milano or Duclair to being a scratch. I would actually insist that only ONE current forward be coming back. The rest should be geared towards futures.
He's one guy, and that's already been turned down by Ottawa. And we're out of exceptions in that regard. Easier and more straightforward to just say "no", because it's functionally true.Erik Karlsson is acceptable. If you add that kind of scoring it doesn't matter what position the guy plays.
Um. You realize that I clarified that further, right? Mattias Janmark is middle-6."Top - 6" includes everything from Connor McDavid to Mattias Janmark.
@Viqsi
I don't think current Panarin is more valuable than Lucic was when he was traded as a "no guarantee of re-sign" asset. Yes, Panarin is good for an extra 20 points, but Lucic had just as much value for all the reasons that people on here may disagree on and for the same reasons that the professionals disagree on. Especially when we are talking 2014 trends in the game.
By semipopular request, I now present the Artemi Panarin Trading FAQ.
Q1: What sort of return are you guys looking for?
A1: It's kind of variable; there's a lot of schools of thought among Jackets fans on this. Some of us want something more Okayish Roster based, and some want something more Very Shiny Future based; see below. There's one fundamental rule, tho - we really don't need defensemen (we're fine there), so forwards and picks only, please.
Q2: What kind of roster-focused return would you guys like?
A2: Probably the best we can realistically hope for is a "2-for-1" type deal, in which we essentially replace Panarin's contribution with "brute force" from two other players. In such a case, expect the two guys going to us to combined score more than Panarin did last year. (That's why it's called "brute force".) Forwards and minor picks only, please.
Q3: What kind of futures-based return are you guys looking at?
A3: High 1sts and/or forward prospects who might have the kind of upside that Panarin is showing now. Ideally that would come with something for the roster, but, again, opinions vary there. Forwards and picks only, please.
Q4: Is there some other variant on that that we can go for instead? I don't like giving up elite prospects/multiple roster forwards.
A4: Quite possibly. If we can do one really good roster forward and a pretty good future asset as the base, that can also be acceptable. It really depends heavily on the sorts of assets involved. Forwards and picks only, please.
Q5: Can we do something based around a defenseman?
A5: Nope. We're more than set on defense, so that doesn't actually bring value back to the team. And making up the difference would cost your team so much more that it's not going to be worth it to either of our teams. Stick to forwards and picks only, please.

Coming to us with two middle-6 forwards and a late 1st, in particular, is going to get you torn apart like a deer amongst hungry wolves. The same goes for coming to us with defensemen in that package - forwards and picks only, please.
Q7: Will he sign with my team? / I can offer something like the above, but only if he signs here.
A7: Don't count on it. The whole reason he's potentially available is because he seems to really be interested in UFA freedom of choice. For all we know, he'll sign with Columbus after being traded (g-d, I hope so ). If you want to insure your return against his possibly leaving, your best bet is conditionalized picks to go along with your forwards. We can accept that. Still, forwards and picks only, please.
Q8: Are you sure on that "no defense" thing? You could flip them for what you REALLY need...
A8: Again, this is a bad value proposition for both teams. Flipping a guy afterward just puts us in a situation where GMs know they have a second opportunity to rip us off. So while you can have blueliners involved in a three-way, the return to the Jackets should consist strictly of forwards and picks only, please.
Q9: What are your team needs? Maybe we can handle those directly...
A9: We need a game-breaking scoring forward. Like, y'know, Panarin. If you wish to do a straight-up trade like that, we'll be happy to listen. But otherwise, forwards and picks only, please.
Q10: What if we pick up one of your existing defensemen as part of the deal?
A10: It could work, but that's going to be seriously tricky to pull off well. We're really not interested in lateral moves, so frankly it'll only work as a minor value gap covering thing. Fundamentally, if you're going to trade for Panarin, the package is going to have to be centered around forwards and possibly also some picks.
Q11: You're not going to get anything like that return, you know; he wants out.
A11: That's already been accounted for in the above. The actual acceptable return would be, as noted in response #8 above, a replacement game-breaking scoring forward. The circumstances, alas, are such that this is unlikely. If you're willing to offer such, that's awesome, but we're not banking on it. Trying to haggle things down even further is just being greedy. All we need is the right combo of forwards and picks - those only, please.
Q12: Seriously, our blueliner is so awesome; why won't you take him in return? You need to get something!
A12: We don't want to damage the team any more than it's already going to be damaged. Forwards and picks only, please.
Bonus Q: You realize, of course, that this gimmick of yours means that inevitably someone's going to reply with a sarcastic defense-only offer, right?
Bonus A: Yes, but you can't win if you don't try.
Hope this helps!
It's because he played under Kane's shadow, so there's no possible way he's AS good as Kane.Not even close. Panarin's value is understated by his boxcar stats (which are amazing by themselves). He's an incredible all around player. Top 1% in takeaways, successful zone exits, successful zone entries, high-danger passes, possession stats, etc...
People (who haven't watched enough) are treating him like a top tier complementary player, great for riding the bus. He is the bus.

Pavelski hasn't played LW for the Sharks ever I don't believe, and if he did it was very short. Usually RW or C. Has Panarin ever played RW?I like Labanc and Tierney as pieces. However, with how our roster is currently constructed, I don't know that they make sense. We have a lot of middle six forwards in Foligno, Wennberg, Jenner, Bjorkstrand, Duclair, Anderson, Milano, Dubinsky (suspect) and not a lot of options for guys to effectively step up into more scoring. We could do worse than #2, but it's far from ideal for our needs.
I'm actually more intrigued by your first option than the 3rd, Kcoyote. That's closer to filling Panarin's role than others (and epitomizes the ". Has Pavelski shown any ability to play LW? I think both teams will want GMs to talk to agents for Pavelski/Panarin to see if they are open to resigning with their new teams. I wouldn't give him a max deal, but Pavelski probably has another 3-4 good years of production in him, at least.
Voracek + Laughton (+ maybe a pick?) for an extended Panarin
