Quoting: Bluejackets2000
Ok, trade Laine and package including Marchenko or Bemstrom, but need to keep Sillinger. His maturity and compete level are what will set him apart, not his height.
I was thinking there was no way that the Jackets could land Shane Wright with the Chicago pick in 2022, since the condition is that if Chicago win either of the 2 lottery draws, they can keep the pick. Well, if Chicago finishes last in NHL (not likely, but possible), and doesn’t win either of the drawings (and the top pick drawing goes to a team below 10th, then the Jackets would land that top pick from Chicago and take Shane Wright.
Game changer. I think that would definitely lead to Bowman’s firing. And a new era in Columbus.
We’ve already gone over this - Capfriendly’s terms are incorrect. CHI keeps the pick if it is top two, straight up. https://www.nhl.com/news/seth-jones-traded-to-blackhawks-by-blue-jackets/c-325758614
Sillinger is listed at 6’0. And he’s 18. He’s going to grow a bit. Regardless, he’s not being moved - the team is immensely high on his potential.
I think VAN would be foolish to sell low on EP right now, and CBJ likely aren’t going to make a splash move without seeing what the draft holds - if CHI ends up with a Top 10 pick, I imagine they’ll be happy rolling the dice with what they have, particularly if their pick is in a similar range.
Foudy doesn’t have that much trade value on his own - he’s likely a sweetener add on to another trade. Bemstrom is likely the same, and Stenlund has little value - he’s gone through waivers twice now, and no team has claimed him.
I think the only trade of these that could happen is the Nyquist trade - even then, CBJ would have to retain the full 50%, most likely; but, I’d be down for that.
