I’m curious to hear what the fans of teams that need a good goalie would be willing to give up to get Bobrovsky out of Columbus. He’s got one year left at $7.45MM. He’s 29, has won 2 Venizas, but has also been average in the playoffs (granted, it was against the Pens twice, Caps once, with two of them going on to win the cup). I don’t think a sign-and-trade is impossible, but it’s also probably not likely.
Kekalainen has repeatedly made splash moves, and it just feels like there’s another one coming down the pike separate from the Panarin negotiations/ potential trade. With Korpisalo showing moments of promise, Merzlikins coming off an elite WC performance, and Bobrovsky due for another raise, I wouldn’t be shocked if CBJ were to trade him. Considering Jarmo usually comes away with the best player in the trade, I also wouldn’t be surprised to see him add to Bobrovsky to get a top-line forward. Either way, CBJ’s primary need is a skilled top-6 forward, preferably a center.
