Imagine thinking Foegele + Kulak would return Boqvist + Buttler + Laine (retained) + 3rd!!! What a ridiculous offer!!!

Columbus declines and ask yall stop trying to dump that Soup contract on us. We have kids to pay soon and want our cap space. Thank you and have a nice day,

Oh boy

no thanks from montreal

good troll post

Laine & Boqvist, like Campbell, are not playing NHL-level hockey, they do have NHL skills, but they are bad right now. Campbell is a cheap buy-out for CBJ, but Edmonton can’t afford to buy him out.

Kulak and Foegele could likely net CBJ 2 3rd rounders at the TDL, but they give the team actual NHL talent and the 2 first rounders are actually kinda slightly valuable.

Jackets are going to need the cap space. With Chinny Marchy and KJ due this year plus Silly and Voronkov next. If one or more of them launches we have to have cap for longer term higher dollar contracts. Eating soups deal either in buyout or just eating it doesn’t work for where we are right now. We’re no longer in the asset gathering stage of the rebuild. We’re into asset management and soup would be bad management.
