I don't think you know me, I would absolutely give away Jost and Meloche if the deal was right. I proposed Duchene and Jost for Galchenyuk and Sergachev one time which angered Avs fans.
Jost, Meloche, Dubois, and Elvis all have six games of NHL experience combined. Of course I never meant to justify that Dubois and Elvis suck so this is a good deal for CBJ. Not even close, I hate when posters want "player x", the opposing fanbase comes in and says the offer sucks, and the original poster bash the player they made the thread for. I cannot stand those hypocrites. Of course Dubois and Elvis have good potential and realistic talent to play in the NHL. That's why I want them, but you cannot sit there and justify to me that they're worth Duchene.
Especially when you use words like "deteriorate" in the same sentence for Matt Duchene. Your second porition of your post shows how weak your argument is when you have to "fear monger" to get any point across. Duchene would absolutely be PPG player on Blue Jackets.
And I didn't fear monger when I was complaining about Murray and his injury list which goes far back when he was still a Silvertip. Clearly he has less value compared to other defenders out there and for me, is the biggest risk of the trade. All I was trying to get at with my post is to make you see that, my proposed deal is quite fair. Quite fair in the actuality when you include fairytale aspects like potential where you cannot judge or grasp it. All you can do is value it and each value is different as each opinion varies.
