If Johnny Stays

overpay

There might have been a center need before the Jackets decided to extend Roslovic, but they're pretty set for the year now with Rosy, Boone, Sillinger, Kuraly, Johnson and Danforth able to play there. If picks and Tex are on the table now it would be for a clear 1C that they could lock up for at least 6-7 years.

I agree, that's way too much for Columbus to pay.

Dube for Texier is pretty close, Monahan is worth at least the 3rd and 6th. Valimaki is worth more than a 2nd but the 2nd is probably early so it's likely not far off. I understand Columbus not wanting to do the trade but it's not a good trade for Calgary either

With so many teams needing to dump cap and so few buyers, a closer deal would be Monahan and Dube for a 7th. And you gotta find a team that M NTC would waive for
