CBJ declines
MTL declines
Jonathan Drouin declines
Nick Suzuki declines
Juuso Riikola declines

Dosent make sense for either team plus i dont think CBJ would say yes

highly doubt PLD is available outta Columbus. & not for this package. IF the Blue Jackets even considered it, one of Montreal's top prospects would have to be included (Poehling, Caufield, Primeau, Romanov, Kotkaniemi, etc) .. Domi is an interesting piece but PLD's upside is way higher. Juulsen hasn't done much and is a fringe NHLer, Byron is a third line option and the picks are just too late.

oh for ****'s sake. No. Dubois is ours and you can't have him, no matter how many not-#1-center pieces you try to throw in.

OFFER SHEET SZN BOI

Columbus would match anything short of 4 1st round picks...

Ok,

between Kotkaniemi or Poehling, which one do you want? except Suzuki and Romanov, its pretty much anybody you want. PLD is a Québecois kid who is actually decent. Caufield? might need a bit more convincing in his case.

Neither of those guys are NHL #1Cs, so, no.

Yet...the upside is there

It doesn't matter. We trade Dubois if and only if we get a NHL-level #1C. Not someone who's sorta kinda there. Not someone with "upside". Not a maybe. A #1C. An actual, current, consistent, for-real young NHL-level #1C. No ifs, ands, buts, maybes, couldas, shouldas, whatever. No exceptions.
