Eh, Columbus is already loaded up on middle-6 forwards, and nearly all of them are younger and have more potential than Rakell or even Puustinen (Voronkov, Marchenko, Chinakhov, Johnson, Sillinger, and if we keep him here, Texier).

Gudbranson at least fills a leadership role/3RD role that's useful. Given his contract is cheaper and shorter than Rakell's, CBJ pass.

Completely agree with Casey above, but just wanted to add if roslovic joins the pens, we will riot!

I agree with you 100% on the Jarry logic. Nedeljkovic has been solid this season and with Joel Blomqvist knocking on the door. Dubas on the Mark Madden show today mentioned both Pickering, Yager, Koivunen, and Blomqvist who can fight for spots on the team next year. He raved about Blomqvist though on his show. I like the combo of Ned and Blomqvist as our goalies next year. get some good depth goalie in case blomqvist struggles in NHL. I am not sure the others are ready, I am not expert on these prospects but have seen Blomqvist with WIlkes and he looks solid. I think Jarry is the sneak y trade this summer.
