No thanks on armia

No reason to trade for kulak unless it’s kulak and a first for provorov or for bean.

Jackets are set at center with Boone, kuraly, Voronkov, sillinger, and fantilli. They could also potentially add lindstrom in the draft. Only way they add a center is if it’s a proven top 6 center

First time since getting Covid he's looked himself
TBH i'd rather keep him and just pay you for Oliver instead at the TDL if we go on a run
Armia's great with the PK unit and a free agent after next year
While Oliver may be a fit if we're in a playoff spot next year
He wont be if we're not, and TBH im not sure we will with the roster as is.

I think you are on the right track with who is getting traded; but, the returns dont line up with what CBJ need/where they are. Bean is also more than likely a non-QO UFA, and KJ is going to get more; but, yes - the prospects are al llikely bridge-deal candidates.

I'm a fan of Kulak, but this feels like a CBJ overpay. The Strum and Armia trades feel more like lateral moves than anything.

The main concern for CBJ right now is trimming the roster down - there are a number of guys who need to be moved to open up roster spots for the youngin's, both on D and at F. If we are moving players, the aim is to either get draft picks for them, or young waivers-exempt players that can be housed in CLE.

Why's montreal adding a pick ?!

I like where you're head is.

I am definitely in favor of Kulak to the Jackets. In all the various Edmonton threads this year, he was pretty much always my first choice of cap coming back to Columbus. Definitely predicated on moving Provorov, though. Also it allows them to let Mateychuk marinate for a year in the AHL next season, which is a good thing.

Not a fan of Armia. Olivier brings something he doesn't, and he's a cap dump for Montreal they should be paying to dispatch.

Sturm for Texier feels lateral, and I'm not sure it benefits either team.

No from the Sharks.

Sharks pass, Sturm is one of the best faceoff man in the league. Cheap contract
