Jackets decline. They will play gudbranson on the third pair this year and hope he improves or they will dump him or buy him out after the season for a reduced cost

If I had a dollar for every proposal that has Chicago paying for Yamamoto...............

Seriously, he can be had for free, or maybe even be paid to take him.

Can the Oil add Foegele too?

Bahahaha yea ok.

Goodrow is maybe a million per overpaid....so maybe 4 million total on his deal. Moving 4 million in cap is like a mid to late 2nd not a 1st round pick. Absolute best you are going to do getting Goodrow and the #23 pick is sending back the the Ott 2nd and NYR 2nd.

And they're certainly not paying 34OA and a rising prospect who just dominated in the Memorial Cup to get rid of him.

Why would they? Foegele scored at a 1st line rate while making 3rd line money last season, they shouldn't be giving him away.

28 points in 67 games is a first line rate?

His 27 points at 5v5 would make him Chicago's #1 forward. None of the hawks players had more.

And no, he didn't play with McDavid.

2.09 P/60 is absolutely a 1st line rate.

Drury says nope and wonders what you are smoking.

28 points, 13 goals is a 1st line rate? and his wonderful playoff showing.... that's $2.7M that's being wasted during a tight cap time.

Why do people immediately look at boxcars? You do understand that not everyone plays on the PP, right? If you look at 5v5 points you'll see that he scores at a 1st line rate.

His 2.09 P/60 was 86th in the league, tied with John Tavares among all players with at least 500 minutes played. (32 teams x 3 first line forwards means top-96 is "first line").
