Zach Werenski

Lock him up so I can tell every Wings fan to shove it up their hoop.

I think we're actually pretty good as a fanbase about not gloating when we're right, but this is one I'm taking the hall pass on and I'll be right there shovin' with ya.

Agree with all those who say extend him tomorrow or trade him ASAP. Either he's part of the long-term solution/rebuild, or he's just an asset with diminishing value.

With two years of control left, he's valuable to any team that thinks their window is open or will be opening.

I mean, I wouldn't go so far as to call him an assha...


Oh, ass-ET!

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

Why not let the coaching staff have some time to work with the team and ZW? We need to figure out who is playing top line RHD. The Blue Jackets keep calling me about season tickets, so it appears they are planning to ice a team this fall.

Meh, semantics.

As I’ve been saying for a while .. you make the offer to Zach long term , if he won’t commit to being the piece you build around , now is the time to find out and make your moves accordingly .

I don't think it needs to be tomorrow. For all we know, they haven't even had any discussions yet. There's been the draft, Jones trade, Cam trade, Kivlenieks tragedy, other free agent priorities... but I will say if he's not extended prior to training camp (or gives an indication he's only looking at a one-year arbitration deal to take him to UFA), I'll be a little concerned and we should look to move him.

If I'm Jarmo, I'm not rushing on a Zach decision. Let's see how he does under a new coach, a new locker room culture and a new opportunity to be alpha dog on D. A lot of things could change over the next few months, including Zach's longterm plans. The earliest I start to consider moving him is at the deadline if CBJ are out of race and it's clear ZW is moving on eventually.

Nice to see another CBJ asset on the main board being speculated about when their time is up or what assets we get.

Look I am just tired of any player of quality leaving.

On the bright side, the tickets will be cheap this season

Or the mains just taking us we don't know the value of our players followed by the we'll just get then for free when they go to UFA ASAP.
