Proposal: Boone Jenner to Edmonton
- Thread starter Stud Muffin
- Start date
Not really interested in trading him in the 1st place but retaining for multiple years would cost a ton. Some Colorado fans are offering that value not retained but met with the fact Columbus needs vets not picks

Let's just leave it at "that's not even remotely feasible" for the sake of everybody's sanity.
Do we need two-three Jenner threads a day? Can a mod just make a “Pointless Jenner Trade Superthread” and combine them all?

Columbus needs picks not vets. Their "rebuild" isn't even close to being done.
Aquiring a vet now does nothing for the team long term and they do not have a short term need as they truly suck for now and the forseable future.

Do you NEED to open a thread just to complain? Can't a person just "ignore" threads that are likely to trigger them?
The team awkwardly sucks because it is mostly inexperienced young kids who lack composure and have poor details. Does that count as a part of the rebuild? Either way you can't fix it with more late 1st draft picks.

Avs will offer more as they need a C more.
If CLB doesn't trade Boone at his max value, what are they even doing...

Jenner re-signed on July 28th, 2021. Seth Jones was traded away on July 23rd of that year. So, it’s not like a he signed a long-term deal when the team was good. Both the player and organization knew where things were headed competitively. He’s there for a reason.
1-2 players that either end up sticking around or depart just before the end of the tunnel isn’t unusual. For Carolina, J. Staal is still around. Kreider made it through for New York. For New Jersey, Zajac was traded at the last possible opportunity. Girgensons has been a Sabre so long that he crossed over with Ryan Miller. Silfverberg and Fowler are still Ducks. Etc.

Why wouldn't I open a thread about a player on my favorite team? Also, it's impossible to keep them all straight since they're all the same thing with a couple uninteresting deck chair rearrangements.
And no, Columbus does not need more picks for the sake of having more picks. They need good vets to surround the young players already on the roster, like Fantilli and Johnson. No, the rebuild isn't over, but the kid they pick at twenty-fifth or whatever who doesn't make his NHL debut til 2028 is way less important to the current team than keeping the stability of the current captain and ostensible 1C til Fantilli is ready to take the reins.
Why wouldn’t he open a thread about a player on his favourite team?
Also the rebuild is done, they need vets not picks

Columbus has a ton of young talent
let's give Vincent more than 4 months to try and develop them

I'd love Jenner, but I don't expect he is available and I'm certainly not interested in overpaying for him.

You're severly underestimating the value of a more experienced player telling young guys to show up on time, be accountable to each other, and other stuff.
If I could give the Blue Jackets a piece of advice… based on observations of many continuously floundering teams (including my favorite team)… keep guys like Jenner. The display of work ethic and leadership of guys like that is far more important, to the desired team culture you are hopeful to build, than a few draft picks.
I would love to land a guy like Jenner, especially at a significant cap discount like suggested in the OP.

F*** your ice cream!
what ever you think is a fair trade, add 50% for his importance to Columbus and then another 50% because he has the best name in hockey
Drafting Musil over Boone was one of our dumber mistakes and trading 2015 1st and 2nd

2 of the dumbest in a long line of dumb decisions this organization has ever made.

nope, people get annoyed and post nonsense responses to things that don't even interest them. It's sad, move on, keep scrolling, end of story.
As for Jenner, man oh man, he'd be great as the 3C on this team. Not sure if Holland can make it happen, but, he'd be a great pick up for the playoffs.
Again, thread police, why wouldn’t I click on a thread about a player on my favorite team?
