Boqvist and another first would be a good time at this year's draft

Isles do not need to pay a 1st to shed Bailey

cbj pass. no clue who that fraud is.

boqvist's had some injuries since coming to columbus but his development is going very well overall. he was awesome for us in the second half of the season and should be our #2 RD + PP1 defenseman this season. the only reason why his name is out there is because jiricek may force his way into the lineup. if we're trading boqvist it's in a package for a top six center.

MTL fans seem to view dach as untouchable, but he's really the only piece that they have outside the super untouchable guys (suzuki, caufield, slafkovsky) who would fit CBJ's needs in a boqvist trade at this point.

Boqvist isn't so much "young top prospect who isn't developing well in his current team", he's more "young top prospect who is having trouble staying healthy". When he's healthy, he's looked like a very capable puck-moving RD. At only 22, he's more likely going to fetch a late first than a B-level prospect who's less than a year younger than him. He's available, but Farrell isn't enough.

Replace farrel with the 24 isles pick

If the cost to dump Bailey is a 1st, they'll just buy him out.
