Thank god you wouldn't give up more.

That's a lot, but my stance is anything but Suzuki and Romanov so yes I would do that. And the truth is we need to trade assets or the Juulsen situation will repeat itself. (holding on to prospects too long until the have no value)

That’s a lot

Would love Armia back on the Jets but not paying that much for a pending UFA. Poolman is actually kind of important on the team atm.

Maybe it's just me, but what do you think about DuBois for Kotkaniemi, Caufield and a first? Or Suzuki instead of Caufield?

I think it's insane, especially with Suzuki instead of Caufield. It is the equivalent of Suzuki + 2 1sts round picks. The difference between Suzuki & Dubois as individuals is no where near two 1sts :

Hey folks, here's a fun tidbit for you:Suzuki started getting top-6 minutes on Dec 19. Here is how both players performed as of that moment until the pause:Suzuki: 27 pts in 36 gmsDubois: 27 pts in 35 gmsPlayoffs:Suzuki: 7 pts in 10 gmsDubois: 10 pts in 10 gms

Fair enough. Do you think KK, Caufield and a first is too much?

Even then I'd be reluctant. I sound like an homer, but Kotkaniemi has so much potential and I seriously think so. It is still 3 1sts round pick for Dubois, who is a really good player, but not worth that much imo. It also doesn't fit under the cap.

It's just that KK, Guhle, Strubel, a first and two seconds seems way overboard to me, and nowhere near realistic. If you put aside the cap consideration, the other trade seems possible. The one in this post doesn't. At least to me.

Dubois isn't worth the farm. KK + Mete + 1st would be sufficient.

What if he came with an extension?

that works for sure, I love KK but your not getting away cheap here. Columbus would need to take some salary back also.

Until the Jets resolve their D issues I think they have to hang on to Poolman. Really not a fan of giving up the 2nd either (Jets dont have a lot of picks the past few years and need to stockpile some assets.).
