Dreger: Blue Jackets "not done" yet

[12ozPapa]

Gotta’ think they maybe grab a veteran dman.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Said earlier today when Duchene was acquired, it wouldn't surprise me. There are a lot of moving parts that this deal may stir up.

 

[lilfedor]

Why is Panarin called Bread?

Help me out here someone.

Seriously?

Panera bread - Panarin

He scores a ton of goals so he brings home the bread...

About to get new contract and bring home a lot of dough?

 

[SI90]

Pane in italian. Pan is greek.

Depends on how you pronounce it. Basically the same thing.

My family is Sicilian and says is Pon-A

 

[WannabeFinn]

Going to be super difficult.

They wouldn’t be able to trade either of the 1sts in 2019 and 2020.

We have a butt load of prospects still. Don’t think we would be adding a Duchene level talent, but we still have plenty of trade chips for bolstering the roster otherwise.

 

[haveandare]

It's risky but god forbid a GM put his balls out there and try to make a big splash and give it a shot. They could hang onto a later 1st and a couple okay prospects in order to......not suck as much after this year I guess? This is an interesting gamble for a team that has yet to get over the hump and I would assume has fans that have started to get frustrated. Bravo I say, assuming they truly aren't done and can add a little more.

If they were having a better season and were closer to the top of the standings, I'd agree.

They could hang on to the picks, move Panarin and Bob for the best returns, do some work in UFA and trades with all those assets they'd keep and gain from moving Panarin and Bob and try to build a team that can compete more than one time in the foreseeable future.

Was thinking the same thing.

 

[405Exit]

Makes sense for them to go all in, after Panarin and Bob leave they won't be this stacked on paper for a while. Not like they have elite prospects waiting to make the roster at this point.

I agree. Normally CBJ is very timid. But that GM has some big balls to be getting Duchene and still continuing to go for the gusto this season.

Hats off to Columbus. Being a small market team you really don’t want to gamble. But this GM is willing to.

 

[lilfedor]

Time to go get PK?

 

[405Exit]

Time to go get PK?

I would be shocked if that happen.

 

[kilowatt]

Would Columbus have any interest in Quick and Toffoli?

 

[lilfedor]

I would be shocked if that happen.

Panarin?

 

[lilfedor]

Would Columbus have any interest in Quick and Toffoli?

Tiffoli yes

Quick... eh, don’t want his contract with Elvis coming over next year

 

[Reddwit]

I mean, they should be if Pan and Bob are as good as gone. You don’t know if Duchene is sticking around for good, so take your shot while you can.

I’d keep Pan as a self-rental and pick up Howard, then move Bob if you can get a good price on him from a lesser playoff or bubble team.

 

[Viqsi]

Kapanen for Anderson

Add more Speed and Skill to play with Duchene and Panarin

Anderson is just as fast, almost as skilled, scores more goals, and is bigger and much more physical.. Lateral at absolute best and has strong potential to be a loss for the Jackets.

Tiffoli yes

Quick... eh, don’t want his contract with Elvis coming over next year

I'd have had it the other way around, myself.

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Just thinking out loud here, but I’m wondering if there is something workable with Anaheim around one of their defensemen and Wennberg

 

[powerstuck]

Well I was under impression that CBJ were pushing big for these playoffs...but 99% of HF thinks that since they got Duchene, they will certainly move Panarin and maybe even Bob...so I guess not wrong depending who you believe.

It would likely be Montour and or Fowler. And if it’s Montour Ducks can get a much better player than Wennberg for him. Columbus has to add up the anti majorly if Montour is available.

 

[Primakov!]

Gotta’ think they maybe grab a veteran dman.

You get to bring a Miami University Redhawk home in Alec Martinez?

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

It would likely be Montour and or Fowler. And if it’s Montour Ducks can get a much better player than Wennberg for him. Columbus has to add up the anti majorly if Montour is available.

What would be the price for Fowler if Wennberg is part of the deal?

 

[405Exit]

Wennberg is an assist machine. And that’s not the issue for the Ducks. We don’t have any scorers. I wouldn’t want Wennberg on the Ducks imo.

In Italian is pane, Sicilian is a dialect too hard to understand even for me and I think even between Sicilians lol.

 

[405Exit]

I don’t see any use with Wennberg. He’s a play maker aka assist machine. Biggest issue Ducks lack is putting the puck in the back of the net.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

CBJ needs to stop.. They arent getting past teams like Caps/Pens/Bolts/Bruins etc.... Thats if they even make the playoffs... so whats the point

Sure i appreciate the balls JK is showing and i love when teams make big trades, but i just feel its not the right time this year

That’s fair lol
