love it. a little too much to spend on bjorkstrand but i love the moves. I think the carolina deal would be perfect to get done after july 1st so sabres pay ROR and they only pay his 1mil salary

Bjorkstrand, who you put on your top line and paid over $5M/year, is worth slightly less than a 2nd round pick to Columbus?

Most likely it will turn until a first when Kane is resigned.

Thought process being Columbus will be in a terrible cap situation and will look to get what they can

This year? Won't be bad at all, next year will be an issue but they have older players they can move. Bjorkstrand is too good to be a cap casualty. The 2nd becoming a first makes it better but still doesn't make a lot of sense, thinking someone is good enough to be on your top line and hardly offering anything for him only works when you trade with Chiarelli

i dont see why you would pay Bjorkstrand more than Reinhart. he hasnt played a 2 full nhl season yet. he is also older than Reinhart and puts up less points.
