Value of: Wennberg

[Viqsi]

Either Russel or Sekera and a pick

That'd have to be one hell of a pick. Russell/Sekera's contracts are, like Abdelkader earlier in this thread, considerably worse than the "just buy him out" option.

Only have 2 years left, easy buyout option.

Also, Russel is an actually useful guy. He'd be amazing for you in a bottom pairing role where he is not playing above his head like in Edmonton.

Sutter + Goldobin+ 2nd for Wennberg.

Russell came up in Columbus. We know his strengths and weaknesses.

Strength: he can skate the puck up the ice by himself and and do it pretty well.

Weakness: defense and passing

I believe he would be the 7th D in Columbus, maybe 8th.

At least with Sekera Jackets fans haven't seen him enough to dislike him yet.

Jankowski+Stone for Wennberg

Gives the Blues Jackets are a cheaper middle six centre and a cap dump that expires in a year.

A buyout with a $3.1m cap hit in a single year, or multiple hits above $2m/year, is not "easy". Not compared to Wennberg's less-than-half-a-mil. And we have less than zero use for additional defensemen - we're having trouble finding time for our existing guys to play right now, and that's with three blueline injuries.

Sutter + Goldobin+ 2nd for Wennberg.

I don't know how Goldobin is doing well enough to adequately judge this one, but my inclination is to say "no" simply because of the Sutter contract.

It's not completely terrible, but the primary objective for trading Wennberg at this point is recouping picks. If we end up in a situation where it's more advantageous to us to worry about future cap years, this might get considered, but even as is it feels a little short given that Wennberg has actual years of production that he can rediscover.

 

[CoachWithNoTeam]

I wouldn’t expect him to be done with Columbus. This is still a team that has struggled with center depth for the better part of the last 4 years, so he won’t be given away just to dump salary when the team is doing just fine on cap space. He is currently the odd man out, as the team’s #13 forward on a team that has found chemistry and lines with identity. Should any lines struggle, he would likely be the next man in. That being said, he could be moved if another team values him as a middle 6 center with upside. If not, I expect him to be held onto until his value rebounds a little.

 

[LeProspector]

Zack Smith & Filip Chlapik for Wennberg

 

[kilowatt]

would columbus be interested in toffoli and martinez (can retain on both if necessary) for wennberg and a good prospect?

 

[elitepete]

What would it take from the Canucks?

 

[duxfan1101]

I may consider something like Wennberg+ for Henrique

No. We need pick(s) for Wennberg.

 

[Viqsi]

Zack Smith & Filip Chlapik for Wennberg

Eww. Not really what we're looking for.

Tip #1: The idea behind trading Wennberg is to pull in replacement futures, not to give up even more.
Tip #2: If your proposal involves a defenseman going to Columbus, it fails. We are massively overstrength on the blueline.

Picks.

This only gets considered if we're unable to resign Duchene. Call back in July.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

tampa cant afford him and he played like ass this season

 

[duxfan1101]

This only gets considered if we're unable to resign Duchene. Call back in July.

Well part of the reason I would consider trading Henrique is because he has an NTC that kicks in on July 1. So if he's getting dealt, it would be before free agency begins. But I also get why you would wait.

We're overstrength at RW in general and right-shot wingers in particular, so Czarnik doesn't really work for us.

sub Czarnik for Dube?

We'll call that a "maybe"; I don't know Dube well enough.

 

[RRenegade]

As a Jets fan, I'd be interested to see a Bryan Little (C, 31 $5.3M x 5Years 40-60 pts/year) for Wenneberg (C, 24, $4.9M x 4Years, 20-60pts/yr )trade.
How is Wenneberg defensively?
BTW, nothing wrong with Little, the Jets just need a change and imo a LH C for Laine.

I am a non-flames fan and he has impressed me. Seems to not know the meaning of Quit and works his ass off.

He's excellent defensively. Little's contract term is a bit of a concern, tho. Call us back in July if we can't keep Duchene?

Gagner and a 4th.

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

Wennberg for Hudon and a 5th

Gagner and a 4th.

Much better pick than that needed. And probably some retention on Gagner too.

Wennberg for Hudon and a 5th

...no.
