We don't need to trade assets for a player like that. Savard is perfect as a #3/4.

Would the blues even want to do that, they are going to the playoffs so why trade him?
Also they would have to retain 50 percent to fit under the cap and even then I don't think it works

Savard can play as a 4 sure, but Jack and him have great chemistry which is something that's huge for playoffs. If him and Muray are paired together then we need to find a bottom pairing guy that will mesh well with Jack.

I feel like CBJ have enough solid D prospects in the pipeline that this is entirely unnecessary.

 

[TOGuy14]

Wouldn't this kind of trade create even more problems for CBJ in the expansion draft?

I assume you're talking about making this trade afterwards?

 

[Paradise*]

Video game idea. Poor premise by the OP.

 

[HasbeenHallzy]

Edler please.

I agree on how see the pairings from the other thread but I wouldn't make a move now. Everything seems to be going pretty smoothly now and Murry is getting more accumulated to his off side. Long term I think I would look for a way to drop Johnson if he isn't taken in the draft. I'm also curious how far away is Gabriel Carlsson and a couple others from making the line-up.

I would be willing to give that up, but I feel the team needs a legit goal scorer. I'm still concerned that the offense is going to dry up at some point.

 

[YennoItFlames]

Wideman for a 3rd or add 1.25m retained for a 2nd or do 2.625*(50%) for a 1st?

I... that... what?

What is this even getting at? I'm honestly lost here. I mean, are you operating under some assumption that Murray will somehow forcibly displace JJ as #2LHD later on in the year? 'Cause even presuming such a scenario (currently looking unlikely BECAUSE of that chemistry and seeing as though JJ is arguably playing the best hockey of his career), JJ can play on the right just fine (and in fact did just that earlier this year when we were trying to force a Murray-Savard pairing and watching it fall flat on its face).

This just seems completely absurd. Your conclusions do not appear to follow from your premises and said premises appear to be based on nonsense to begin with. It reads to me like someone saying "Saad is going to only score 20 points this year, therefore we need a new center." It's just bizarre.

Don't see how this works out well for Columbus with the expansion draft.

 

[leaflover]

I wouldn't do anything if I was Columbus. I've seen too many times where a team was cruising and made changes that had a negative impact.
They have a beautiful season going on there, don't mess with it.

Mike Stone is a UFA 4RD. You won't have to protect him in expansion, but you will have to pony up to beat the other offers.

 

[BurgoShark]

Mike Stone is a UFA 4RD. You won't have to protect him in expansion, but you will have to pony up to beat the other offers.

I think Milano for Stone would be a fair offer. BJ's add a contract and a mid round pick if they want to send some dollars back the other way.

A slightly used often,broken and beaten Fayne . Cost , future consideration . Don't want to ask for more and fool up the good thing you got going

 

[Some Other Flame]

Blue Jackets can have Wideman for a couple of mid round picks, e.g. two 3rds or a 2nd+4th. He's an UFA and shouldn't have a problem waiving his NMC for one of the best teams in the league.

Flames probably won't retain salary though but Columbus seems to have plenty of cap space with LTIR.

Why in the world would Columbus need to do this? There is no way I would trade those assets for a defenseman. We have no need for one.

 

[Dog]

Why are you trading your 1st and a good prospect for a #4

Why are we dropping a very good #4 down to the bottom pair to spend assets on another #4 that will impact the expansion draft? What's wrong with the D as is right now. If anything CBJ will want a bottom pair depth guy for a playoff run. Expiring contract with experience.

Don't get this one. Keep the assets, keep the growth.

Jackets say no thanks, lol.

It's just not a position of need. I'm comfortable with Nutivaara, Harrington, and Prout in the last D spot. Heck I even want to see Kukan up here.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Just give the Isles a second and third for Seidenberg.
