Friedman: What will happen with Bobrovsky?

[justafan22]

27. I am very, very curious to see what the Blue Jackets do with Sergei Bobrovsky. Free agent in 2019, already at $7.425 million. Last negotiation wasn’t easy. No playoff success, but do not underestimate how hard it is to get there, and he gets them there every year. Challenging decision for them

Thoughts?

This Chia were talking about Draisaitl is going to Columbus with a 2nd round pick.

The Oil don't really need to trade for Bob. Talbot is fine. But if they're gonna trade for Bob they better have something better than that slightly used RNH.

He will be getting a huge contract that will start when he is 30 years old.

Feel like there could be a deal to be made with Carolina and Columbus here. Both have what each other badly wants

Thats really not that bad. 6-8 years is only 36-38. It all depends on the dollars

What does Columbus want from Carolina?

 

[Rebels57]

Trade him back to Philly for their 2018 1st +

Perfect bridge to Carter Hart.

I would do Price for Bob any day....too bad Columbus won't

Montreal could put Price on waivers and there would only be a handful of teams that MIGHT claim him.

 

[HawkeyTalkMan]

Maybe something along the lines of Bobrovsky + Dubinsky (25% retention) to Carolina for Skinner + Darling

Carolina sheds Darling and finally gets a #1 goalie while also getting a gritty forward to make them harder to play against at a discount and at a $4.38MM cap hit Dubinsky has value if he gets back to being a two strong way center that can chip in 40+ points.

Columbus gets back another top six scoring threat while getting out from Dubinsky's deal although taking back Darling and hoping he can find his game in the regular season again

I dunno, the Darling inclusion might be the deal breaker there, just trying to find one that makes sense

Friedman forgot to mention that Bob has full NMC.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Yes guys let's trade one of the best goalies in the league to a division rival.

SMH people.

 

[izzy]

if columbus loses bobrovsky

hes a top 5 goalie, find a way to keep the guy

No thank you from the Habs, unless Bob sign to a short contract.

 

[habsgirl5000]

Maybe something along the lines of Bobrovsky + Dubinsky (25% retention) to Carolina for Skinner + Darling

what the heck?.....that is way overpayment by columbus,

darling?....you serious?

 

[General Disarray]

That would work, however your GM would sign him to a 8 years 85 million contract with a NMC...

 

[Flukeshot]

I think he extends for similar money

 

[3074326]

Should keep him. As the article states, he gets the Jackets to the playoffs. I don't think he was the issue this year, but he still hasn't shown he can steal a game in the playoffs which is basically necessary to win a Cup.

One of these years he won't go up against teams with over-the-top firepower.

 

[bluedevil58]

Skinner?

Canes fan here. Skinner for him straight up? I have no problem with that. You guys don't understand what bad goal tending can do to a team and how hard it is to find a good if not great goalie....

*Great regular season goalie
