Confirmed with Link: Mark Letestu back to Columbus for a 4th

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Trying to get something of value for Pontus Aberg, and they themselves have no need for Letestu.

Do they need a contract spot for Underwood?

Especially with that bio and header... yikes.

2K is better than some of the others we’ve seen

A 33 year old third/fourth liner doesn't move the meter even though I like him when he was here for the first time.

Wondering if this impacts Calvert. Is he on his way out in the next 24 hours?

Shouldn’t impact Calvert since we waived Jokinen. But I still expect Calvert is on the way out

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Pacioretty for Wennberg, Texier (requisite Frenchy going back) and JJ?

 

[MFRONE]

I can’t see Calvert bringing back a return that would justify losing him for the rest of the season, unless of course he’s packaged in a deal to being in a top 6 guy

Dubois-Dubinsky-Letestu/Jenner-Sedlak.....not good

This is a joke right?

Agreed. But I'm not sold on Wennberg. His contract could be an albatross. If the idiot GM in Montreal takes him, it's pretty much confirmation that he won't amount to much. LOL

But........Panarin, Atkinson, Pacioretty, andAnderson, that's a pretty good looking group of top 6 wingers.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

No. Pacioretty had 141 goals in his previous four seasons. Probably top 5 in the NHL for that time frame.

Jarmo said they were talking about Letestu awhile ago, but they didn't wana give up the prospect needed so things died and then apparently Nashville wanted a pick, Edmonton wanted a prospect and we wanted Letestu.

I'll open up a spot for Underwood. No contract required...

... in fact, prefer it that way.

 

[Jyrki]

Good low-risk with decent upside trade by Jarmo. Not expecting much else by the deadline.

 

[CBJx614]

Watch our PP completely turn it around now

I think people undervalue a lot of prospects around here including our own. The Jackets are entirely sold on Tex. They were so high on him at the draft that they took him 45th overall when in reality most scouts/Craig Button had him going between the 90-100th range (late 3rd, early 4th). He’s playing in Liiga as an 18 year old... playing 15-17 minutes a night too on KalPa’s second line. Kid is very raw but has tremendous potential.

That being said, we can’t afford to lose Wennberg. The only logical proposal that can be made from a Jackets standpoint that includes Wenny is one in which a center is coming back our way.. a la Galchenyuk. I have my doubts that MTL and CBJ are good trade partners.. mainly because there has been talk about Bergevin and his fascination for PLD and I’d imagine Jarmo hangs up the phone immediately at the mention of “Pierre”.

The proposal you posted in itself is something MTL would laugh hard at but....

I think adding Pacioretty would be huge though, so I don’t disagree with your post entirely. I mean we’re talking about 5 time 30 goal scorer.. in which we badly need, goal scoring. I stand firm on my belief that IF Jarmo does make a big move, it’s going to be one out of left field.. one that not many people would see coming a la Panarin. But that’s a big IF. At this point, I believe Jarmo will unload a contract but not make any major moves tomorrow. Just my two cents

I agree.

PLD straight up for Galchenyuk and Pacioretty doesn't even appeal to me. Everyone gripes about not having difference makers, but we have one of our own and he's only 19.

I see him every bit as valuable to this team as a Jamie Benn or Ryan Getzlaf.

Any offer that involves him needs to be shut down immediately. Unless it's Connor McDavid or Auston Matthews.

In my personal opinion there's absolutely no way Jarmo can move Wennberg right now, that's asking to get ripped off.


There are a lot of people in Columbus who want Wennberg gone(almost all my hockey friends have mentioned something about getting rid of him) but can you imagine selling low on him and then he goes and becomes a 70pt player somewhere? People would be screaming for Jarmos head(as if they already weren't before)

I think the only way Wennberg gets moved is if Jarmo puts together a last minute package deal for Tavares or a more realistic scenario, someone like Zibanejad

PLD alone isn’t worth Patches AND Chuky..

Also, you wouldn’t trade say.. PLD for Patrick Kane? PLD for Ovechkin? PLD for Stamkos?

Nope.


Stamkos may be the only one from that list I would consider honestly.

Kane is nearing the end of his prime and would eat up so much cap that we would be handcuffed for years. Ovechkin is in his mid-30s now and is bound to start suffering from ailments at some point, due to the way he plays. Besides, I think he's ready to jump ship and play in his home country during his golden years. And, how many Cups has he won?

Stammer is a great player and has a few good years left in the tank, but injuries have plagued him.

Would you rather have a 19 year old on an ELC who has chemistry with Panarin, is becoming a dominant force in all three zones, and is only getting better...

Or would you rather have an underachieving 23 year old and another second line left wing?

Do Montreal care about real French people? Considering they are pretend French people and all?

Solid move and I'm very happy to see Letestu back as a Jacket. Not a savior by any stretch but he should be an improvement in a lot of areas we've struggled in.

I'm on the fence if we'll see additional moves. I think Jarmo is pushing hard for a hockey trade to bring in a proven scorer with term but we just don't see many of those at the deadline. I think Montreal is definitely the team to watch with Galchenyuk and Pacioretty. Could a combo of Jenner, Milano, 2nd get it done for one of those guys?

I think if there was really a first on the table for Johnson he'd be gone already. I'm curious if they'll move him for a 2nd which I think he can certainly get (and in turn use it as currency to pick up a scorer).

If memory serves, I believe Torts had Pacioretty in the Wold Cup of Hockey last year and was critical of his play. Not sure what kind of impact that would have on a possible acquisition but something to consider.

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

I don't get it. Why was Nashville involved?

I believe Jarmo said the deal died because Edmonton wanted a prospect CBJ weren't willing to give. Nashville was willing to give apparently.
