The only possible reason to trade Gudbranson would be to remove his cap hit. Trade him with retention and we just lose that cap signing his replacement - and no, Brannstrom is not an adequate replacement for him, not defensively.
The only possible reason to trade Jenner at all would be if he's an absolute prerequisite for getting back a franchise player. He's too vital to this franchise's future otherwise - not directly, but as the platonic ideal of a mentor for those kids that are themselves the future.
That Lindholm contract would be great for the Jackets, but I would assume he's looking for more than that.
