If the Jackets were going to throw picks around for depth D, they would've by now. Last night they dressed their twelfth different defenseman of the season already.

Not sure if that's enough for Hart, but I like the idea.

that 2nd needs to be a first at the very least. I'd love him in buffalo though

maybe conditional, he had a rough go the last couple years

Thats where the idea came from lol

what makes you think Vegas is just going to give you Martinez for free?

cap space and degraded performance

Idk if you've been watching Vegas this year, his play has been solid. He doesnt put up as many point as he has in the past, but that isnt his role. He's very good defensively and he's still a key piece in their top 4. They wont move him this year. Hague, Whitecloud or Mirimanov arent ready to make that jump. Trading him without replacing him doesnt make sense for them this year as they are after the cup and with the way they are playing, it doesnt make sense to fix what isnt broken
