A lot. Say goodbye to Bo Horvat and Jared McCann, for starters.

 

[CroatianCanuck]

would ppl be willing to trade a package surrounded around horvat?!

 

[Regal]

would ppl be willing to trade a package surrounded around horvat?!

Definitely. But I'm not sure I'd like the plus.

 

[Drop the Sopel]

would ppl be willing to trade a package surrounded around horvat?!

In a heartbeat. Throw in virtanen and I wouldn't flinch. Add our first this year and it makes you think twice.

I thing johansen could end up being like seguin...i think he could end up being one of the best players in the league, on the right team.

I was thinking of the exact same comparable. However, I'm pretty sure nothing is going to come of this, and that the trade talks are a calculated move by Jarmo Kekalainen to light a fire under Johansen's rear.

Okay here comes Joe Benning.

I don't want to give up any of the following.

- Bo Horvat
- Very Hesitant to trade McCann
- Chris Tanev
- Brock Boeser
- Any 1st Round Picks
- Ben Hutton
- Thatcher Demko

Trading Virtanen would be interesting, I think he would thrive under Torts.

In other words, I don't really think we have the assets. #SayNoToRyJo

As if the Hamonic thread wasn't enough...

You think the dude who brought up the idea of trading Seguin with "attitude issues" is going to trade for another guy in the same situation.

One of Horvat or McCann and Alex Edler is easy.

Not easy for CBJ. Edler's age doesnt fit with CBJ's core. It would have to be a player whose 25 or younger.

 

[Huggy]

Virtanen
Sutter
1st
Shinkaruk/Gaunce

I'm sure Edler would be thrilled to play under Torts again.

 

[Tv9924]

CBJ would want Horvat+Tanev+McCann probably

 

[Addison Rae]

They would probably want Horvat and Tanev.

 

[Pip]

Horvat, Tanev, highish first rounder.

I don't think the Jackets move him for anything but an overpayment.

 

[Addison Rae]

CBJ would want Horvat+Tanev+McCann probably

That's overkill IMO. Tanev is a 26 year old #2 dman signed long term on an excellent contract, Bo Horvat and Jared McCann both classify as A "prospects"

 

[Eddy Punch Clock]

The Sedins...... we retain salary.

fight me........

 

[wonton15]

Virtanen
Sutter
1st
Shinkaruk/Gaunce

CBJ would laugh and hang up

 

[CRDragon]

CBJ would laugh and hang up

I don't see why that offer is funny and why CBJ would hang up the phone.

Roster player + A prospect + B prospect + 1st

Certainly an offer that can start talks.

 

[Knight53]

Stay put and build through the draft.

 

[Intangibos]

I wish we had cap space

 

[y2kcanucks]

I wish we had cap space

Would be nice, but I was told it doesn't matter if you're not a contender, so C'est la vie!

If the first looks to be high then I'm sure the value is close. I'm just not sure if the Jackets want such a heavy futures package. Dont think Sutter is a good enough roster player.
