Proposal: Should the Jackets take a chance at Shipachev?

[ViD]

After only playing 3 games for Vegas (1 goal , +3) only averaging 10 minutes a night, apparently he’s been given the green light to find a new team in the NHL.

He dominated the KHL and WHC last year, had a decent World Cup, has played and clicked with Panarin before.

Should the Jackets take a look at him and potentially trade for him to close the need of a playmaking center ?

His contract is 4.5m per year for 2 years.

Why not? It’s the price though. What would they want, I don’t think I’d want to give up Carlsson.

 

[stevo61]

For the player? Sure. For the contract?Dont think it would work out with the UFAs and RFAs plus Hartnells buyout is worth 3mil next year

 

[JohnnyJacket13]

Only if Vegas retains half his salary and doesn’t want a substantial asset back in return. So no.

 

[Jackets Woodchuck]

Term is short enough that salary wouldn't worry me. I probably wouldn't be willing to trade enough though. Would only be willing to part with Monsters (including I-71 ping-pong ball Hannikainen here) and/or picks. No way that would be enough.

 

[TaketheCannoli]

I am not sure of his value in a trade. If the Jackets could get him for a pick or a prospect sure.

What would it take to get McPhee to pull the trigger?

 

[Jovavic]

Conditional pick is as far as I'd go

 

[pled]

why do people believe him or even duchene are much better play maker than wennberg ?

Interesting text AP, so Vegas told him go find a new spot.. but no way CBJ?? I would offer a fifth rounder

 

[NotWendell]

If we want to make a deal with Vegas, go after James Neal. This club still needs a sniper.

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

Vegas is what 7-1 or 8-1, they aren't giving up James Neal. Wild Bill is playing well for the Knights

I would be all for this

Panarin-Foligno-Anderson
Neal-Wennberg-Bjorkstrand
Jenner-Dubinksy-Atkinson

That's a quality top-9

 

[Old Guy]

I don't want Shipachev. Please keep your powder dry for John Tavares at the trade deadline.

Of course not... not at THIS moment.

Neal is the face of that franchise right now he's definitely not leaving this year unless they are 10 games out at the deadline.
