Quoting: kous
-Nylander vs Lindholm is debatable but either way does not make a difference in this scenario.
-The Description says both players extend with their new teams so we play wit those rules so Kent Johnston is not out of the question
-I would agree Dube is better than Timmins and the trade needs a tweak here to balance it
-Based on the the return the CBJ are getting you don't keep Jenner because he's a nice guy the fans like.
Kent Johnson is out of the question. He just had a better rookie season than Lindholm had in his first 3 years in the league, on one of the worst teams in the league, and is 8 years younger. He should be a top-6 lock for the next 15 years.
And Jenner is totally unavailable, not just because
he's a nice guy, which is arrogantly, intentionally ignorant. He's our 1C until Fantilli is ready, and arguably the only top-6 capable center on the roster, on a sweetheart deal he took to stay in Columbus long-term. You just don't replace his value, even if you get another 1C back (at about $4-5M more), and trading him would be the last thing Jarmo does as a GM. You don't recoup the value he has to the franchise in any trade, certainly without asking something unrealistic from the other team. Any CBJ fan will tell you he's totally unavailable, and it's not just because we like him.
I'm just so tired of non-Columbus fans saying our unavailable players are actually, totally, explicitly available, and for
way less than you'd think!
