Part of the reason I make this is curiosity. What kind of value does Atkinson have. On the one side, the undersized winger did have 41 goals last year. He’s never had a 70 point season, is having a down year this season, and is on the wrong side of 30. I think it’s really up for debate as to his value. Teams are scared of long term contracts for forwards over 30, especially if they seem like they might be slowing down. I could see the jackets saying, “hell no, he’s a 40 goal guy,” or saying, “this is a great opportunity to clear a long term contract before his value diminishes further.”

Anderson is just really struggling this year. 1 goal in 26 games. I think only 4 points. He could play on the third or fourth line in Boston, and hopefully a change in scenery will help him.

Backes agrees to trade or is sent to providence. Columbus can eat 50% and move him somewhere or buy him out. Perhaps him agreeing to a trade is a bit far fetched, but this is an ACGM after all.

For those that don’t know him I think of Vaakainanen as similar in value to Brannstrom last year. He’s looked good in his time in the NHL. I know the Bruins are extremely high on him, and refused to put him on the table for Mark Stone last year.

Open to the concept that this isn’t nearly enough, although i really can’t decide if the Atkinson contract is good or not.
