It all depends how you rank different positions, but I'd say Point and Jones are roughly even, as are Sergachev and Bjorkstrand, in terms of impact on the ice. But the difference in remaining term means Columbus has to really want another top six center, and be willing to pay a lot for one. Given that they didn't re-sign the one they traded for, last Spring, and still don't have a backup goalie with North American professional experience, I think they might have decided to spend this year watching their kids develop, and assessing what level the whole team is at. Maybe Jenner steps up as a second line center this year. Maybe Wennberg does. Maybe not. They still have their first round pick, and they may feel they need to keep their defense together, develop Korpisalo a little more, and draft one more key forward, before they're contending again.
