Why Not

Interesting. However idk if CBJ wants to give up either DJ or CC. Jiricek was complaining about being sent down, which is why there are so many ACGMs about it

I don't mind this one, but the mid-grade center pipeline in Columbus is just as crowded as Buffalo's, and Ceulemans is basically the only RHD prospect in the org (if you consider Jiricek an NHLer and not a prospect).

Thanks

yea we have ceulemans marked down to slot in when gudbranson's deal runs out if not sooner, he fits the timeline of the team, and we simply don't have any other right defense prospects we care about. i'd be uninterested in this simply because there's no reason to believe that ostlund is gonna be one of the four best centers out of fantilli, sillinger, voronkov, kent johnson, brindley, del bel belluz, pinelli, peddle, keskinen. im sure he's better than some of them but is he better than enough of them to make it worth making a massive RHD hole in our pipeline? i dont think so.

value is fine but absolutely an insta-decline from columbus just based on need.

Yep, value feels right on, but not a fit based on need.
