If I'm spending a 1st I want a better player than Boone Jenner

Brodzinski or Pitlick will be waived before Wheeler

The only other guy I like is Sissons.

Other than that, the C market is pretty aweful. Both Jenner and Sissons come with term, and good cap hits, so theyre not rentals. However Preds are fighting for a wild card spot so its unlikely they trade Sissons.

If you want a better player than Jenner its going to cost a lot more than a 1st.

He doesnt get it, for what Jenner lacks on the scoring sheet (eventhough hes usually a lock for 20g) he makes up for everywhere else on the ice. I basically use the Lindholm model and take a little off the top.

Yep.

I'd want the Horvat deal at the minimum because whatever difference in player quality between them is made up by the fact Jenner is on an extremely cheap contract for three full postseasons.

Horvat was 3 years younger. Horvat was coming off a 30g season, and already had scored 30g at the time of the trade to the Isles. Jenner has scored over 20 goals 3 times (recently in b2b years), the last time he scored 30 was 2016. Hes never scored over 50 points.

This trade is pretty much on par with the Horvat trade. You got your 1st, you got your B prospect, however rather than a roster player youre gonna get another prospect and a 4th.

Thats not enough to get Jenner anyway. You are going to need a better prospect at least. He isnt being shopped so any trade would have to be an overpay.

Considering Tarasenko at 3.75m lat year cost a 1st, 4th, Blais and Skinner... I would hope that he could net more than a 2nd and two B/C type prospects this year at 2.5m

I love the fact that EVERYONE conveniently forgets that Nico Mikkola was apart of that trade too.

Those are fair points, and I love the Horvat trade as a model, but the big differences (market and contract) between the Horvat trade and a Jenner trade really can't be understated. It's an insane center market, which has recently been set by the Lindholm and Monahan trades; it definitely favors sellers. Add on that CBJ have explicitly said Jenner isn't available (where everyone knew Vancouver was looking to move Horvat), it would take a ransom to pry him loose. Plus, you're not staring down the barrel of offering an $8.5M contract to the guy in the offseason.

I think it's getting there in terms of value, but market + team situation + player contract could still force the return to 1st, 2nd, A-prospect IMO. Been saying that for months, and nothing that's transpired recently has led me to believe that's impossible or even unlikely.

If Jenner gets moved, it's going to take a "oh holy f***" offer that puts the league on notice, and this one just isn't there yet. Just my two cents.

I dont expect them to move him because they have absolutely no reason to, just saying if the Rangers were going to give up 1sts and B prospects and whatever else, it should be for this type of player or dont bother cause its simply not worth it in this market.

I 100% agree with you there.

Personally don't think the return on the 4/5D made up a good portion of that but I hear you
