If Only We Knew

I didn’t think that trade could look any worse, but somehow it does lol.

Sending Bean and Nyquist to the minors would've created enough cap space to keep Bjorkstrand.

I just don't get why Jarmo made that deal so quickly, he had months to see what happens, why make a knee jerk bad trade.

you don't just send 50 point forwards to the minors for cap space. thats how you get nobody to sign with you ever again

he also cant just be sent to the minors, you would have to waive him

You don't just trade away 50 point wingers signed long term for a bag of picks yet that's what happened.

Idk, would future free agents or RFA'S really think back to Gus Nyquist being demoted in his last season and use that as some deciding factor to not sign with the Jackets, I highly doubt it, in fact I doubt most will even know who Nyquist is.
