Not happening.

lol no

If Boston is offering up swayman for a 30 year old Center. Go for Lindholm or maybe Schmaltz in Arizona.

Add two 1sts, Fabian Lysell and Mason Lorhei and the Jackets consider.

The alternatives I had were….

Backlund (CGY)
Goodrow (NYR)
Carter (PIT)
Granlund (PIT)
Dickinson (CHI)
Hayton (ARI)

…not much left out there. Lindholm would cost a lot more and Schmaltz is a winger. Scheifele may not be available. Maybe a guy like Gourde?

You must be joking

Maybe Middlestadt in Buffalo or. Montreal may also be willing to part with a center. I don't think Jenner is that good. I think you could do much better especially if you are offering up Swayman.

The value is fine in a vacuum, but Columbus has absolutely no reason to move Jenner. He's their captain, longest tenured player, on a sweetheart deal he took to stay rather than hit UFA, and can credibly play anywhere in the lineup. It would take an overpayment to get them to move him.

No joke at all. Jenner is the team's captain, the soul of the locker room, beloved in the community, and plays a position that Columbus is thin at, both historically and right now. MEANWHILE, Swayman is a goalie, and while we DO need better goaltending, neither Elvis nor Tarasov can go to Cleveland. So if we're gonna go through all that trouble AND give up Boone, that's what gets our attention.

Just need Jenner to hold defensively and cough up pucks in o-zone. Maybe give you 50-pt production.

Massive no from Bruins' perspective imo. Very short-sighted trade.

Look at the rest of the team…Bruins aren’t buying green bananas.

No but they aren't so short sighted that they would trade their potential future ace in net for a 30 year old 2C. Sweeney has also openly said that this is the year where young guys will have every opportunity to prove themselves. Lohrei, Lysell, and Merkulov are the big prospects with top 4/top 6 potential, and Geekie, Beecher, Steen, Mclaughlin, and Lauko are all in contention for bottom 6 roles. So while they did sign some cheap veterans to get through this "bridge year", whatever that is, I still think the Bruins are shifting their perspective towards younger players.

Boone totally fits our style, but no chance we’re giving swayman for him, I’d rather burn more draft capital

Merkulov is my dark horse Calder candidate.

Damn lol, I'd be pretty surprised to see him over Bedard or Hughes. But if guys get injured it could be a wide-open race so I guess you never know.

There’s also that he has a year of experience on the pro circuit, you never know how long it will take guys to adjust, even if they’re future 1st ballot HOFers

The value is hyperbole, but the sentiment is still true. It would be like the Bruins trading Bergeron (obviously not equal in value), based on what they mean to their teams. Boone is so critical to the organization, and frankly a unique player on a great deal that would have a ton of teams calling if he were available, that it would take a massive overpay to get Columbus to consider it.

If you want actual values, probably the equivalent of 2 1sts and a top prospect to get the conversation started. So yeah, 2 1sts and probably Lohrei to even get consideration. It's way easier to say he's not available.

Bedard and Hughes are favorites…but Merkulov could be one of those guys who arrives at right time in right spot. I watched him a bunch in big-ten and he always stood out.
