cbj takes that and runs

I think it works out decently for both teams.

Jackets get a big heavy player to shelter the kids and a 1st.


Wild dump 3mx3yrs (7pts), get a top 6 forward who mainly plays center for only 2milx2yrs and a young cheap top9 player with offensive upside.

I actually don't think Columbus takes that; Bemstrom is a good piece for them, and Greenway's contract is an anchor. Feel like they could get the first just for Roslovic from most teams.

If true for roslovic, then sure.
But I kinda like the heavy game greenway plays, could be very useful to have around for Johnson Sillinger jericek chinakov marchenko and whoever they draft this year.

That's what Olivier and Gudbranson are for. No need to clutter the cap with Greenway.

I love this for 2 reasons. 1, as a jackets fan we get another first. 2. The wild get a fav player of mine since I’m a Wisconsin guy who is in more wild territory than BH territory. So I’m thrilled to have a reason to cheer for the wild.

gudbranson is buns and has barely fought. Olivier is doing most of the job. More fights, points, effectiveness, and is a helluva lot cheaper

There is ZERO chance the Wild move a 1st here.

Not for that package, there is just nothing there that warrants that high of a pick for either player, and Greenway isn’t that big of a cap dump.

Roslovic and Greenway are a even swap in terms of value at worst, they more or less are a strait up swap 1v1 here, in short they cancel each other out. And Bemstrom doesn't carry that kinda of value enough to get a 1st back. Tack on the fact that Minnesota doesn't need Roslovic to come retained at all and there just is a lot going here that is either unnecessary or overestimating Bemstrom/Roslovic's value.

Wild turn this down.

I mean saying a guy whose on pace for 45pts is the same value as a guy on pace for 15 isn't exactly right.

But you allowed to just say you just don't want roslovic. Even if your center position is one of the weakest in the NHL and the retention is there due to all that wasted cap coming the wilds way next year...gotta keep it low to fill the team out.
