Quoting: SociallyHawkward
I don't see minny as a fit. Both teams badly need centers. I think a promising young center or good center prospect is a must in any PLD trade.
Not counting Rossi... we have Eriksson-Ek, Khovanov, and Khusnutdinov.
That's three by my count. Three young promising centers/good center prospects.
Everyone says Columbus still wants to compete. But if PLD is moved, irregardless of whatever they might get back, the Blue Jackets are going to be a rebuilding team. It would still likely take them at least 2-3 years before they're ready to compete again.
What they want, and what they're likely to get is probably a far cry from what most people expect. Especially after what just happened, which really screws Jarmo at the trade table.
Eriksson-Ek
Khovanov
Beckman
And one of our two 1st's.
As of right now, that's a pretty damn good package for PLD and Jarmo might take it. I think Minnesota is still very much a good fit. If Guerin is so inclined.
