made a lot of moves
didnt help the D

outside of the value being too high, jackets just extended peeke, are the last team that needs a winger and one of the last teams to trade D help

Plus, all that just to put him on the third pair?

That defense doesn't look any better.

created cap space for next year to sign a d, got picks, got rid of myers
doesn't necessarily make the defense better right now, but with peeke rathbone will hopefully make the full time transition to the nhl and peeke could pair with hughes if the experiment doesn't work out

helps rathbone become a top 4 defenseman, peeke would be put on the first pair with hughes if the right side doesn't work out

horvat is a center, could fill the 1C until johnson is ready

Problem is, not giving up that much for a rental, nor do I want to deal with whatever Horvat's next contract is going to be.

Plus, isn't 1C a little rich for him? I mean, yeah, he can technically play there, but I wouldn't really say he is the model of a 1C that you typically give up assets for.

We have, like, four guys who are also well suited for that task. Don't need another rental.

That's not an overpay for Bo

Horvat is better than Roslovic and Jenner. Are you sure Sillinger is ready to fill such shoes?

It is better

For the Blue Jackets to trade for a UFA it sure is

We don't have to pay to add him, so he's still a better alternative.

Okay, just checking

No, no it isn't, not even as a rental

You can say whatever you want but they wouldn't give this up for a guy that doesn't take them over the top in any type of way. Hes a good player, one that makes them better, but not one that the organization would give up this much for given where they are at right now. Again, you can quote this with "no. trade good" but it doesn't change the fact that the jackets wouldn't do that

Lol, how would you know? Are you an insider?

I probably know the Jackets organization far more than you do. Its the nature of being a huge fan of a specific team. I was just giving feedback on a trade you posted... why are you so passionate about shooting it down? The Jackets' true window probably starts 2 years from now. Why would they trade for an UFA who they can't afford to sign back due to the money needing to go towards sillinger/johnson/marchenko/gavrikov/chinakhov etc.

Okay, I was just verifying
