Sujet: Who wants Peeke
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey_Mind</b></div><div>Buying out Gudbranson isn't going to happen because he's too much of a leader in the room and his presence is needed with such a young blue-line.

I like Peeke, he is solid as a 3rd pair defensive d-man, but CBJ need dmen who can score also, and aside from Werenski, Boqvist (and maybe Bean when he's healthy) is the only other scoring dmen.

With Jiricek coming in next year I think he'll be a little more balanced offensively and defensively, but I don't expect him to put up more than 25 points in his rookie year, so he's probably more likely to replace one of those three defensive guys so Boqvist can create some offense on the second pair.

Blankenburg, Peeke and Gudbranson are all defensive and should be on the third pair. Peeke has the most value of those three so I think he's gone.</div></div>

Columbus also has more offensive defenseman coming and Peeke is arguably the best defensive game we now have and he still has some offensive potential, reminder he is still only 24. Boqvist has the most value and honestly if he isn’t on the PP he’s basically useless, Bean is in the same boat but since he is a LHD Columbus probably should keep him and let him run on PP2 and Werenski on PP1.

Sujet: TK Provorov Hayes gone
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Obviously if Provorov moves out, that's a huge hole on LD that Bean would help fill, but Columbus has very few NHL-ready LD and a logjam at RD. Would it make sense to trade someone like Peeke instead? Jiricek looks NHL-ready, Boqvist is resurgent since coming back from injury, and Gudbranson's contract alone makes him the 3rd-pair RD staple for the next 3 seasons. That makes Blankenburg or Peeke the odd-man out. Would a Peeke+2nd OR 3rd land Hayes instead? If so, I don't love it, but I'd take it from Columbus's perspective.

CBJ would have: Werenski/Jiricek, Bean/Boqvist, Berni?/Gudbranson, Blankenburg for next year.</div></div>

Nah, Blanks and Boqvist have been working on playing the left side with Peeke on the 2nd pair depending on the situation when the other players 3rd pair with Bayrughter.

Jiricek isn’t Top pair ready and will get torched in that spot next season, they’d be better off with a line up of;
Werenski - Peeke
Blankenburg - Jiricek
Boqvist - Gudbranson

With Berni, Christianson and Bjork ready as the 7-9 and keeping someone like Bayroughter as the extra on the roster. If any of the RHD get moved my guess is Boqvist since he is getting the most sheltered minutes of anyone on the roster and with a healthy Werenski he gets moved off PP1.

Sujet: can gavrikov now be had cheaper
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>tkecanuck341</b></div><div>I agree, they had to give up a bit more for getting them to take Smith. Taking out the 2nd should even things out, and align with what Columbus has said they're looking for.

I think a team would be dumb to pay it, as I don't think Gavrikov is that good, but I think that's what the cost is.</div></div>

Gavrikov is better then his stats say, he is overplayed and has had to player higher in the lineup then he should be. Gavrikov should be on the 2nd pair and player 18-20 minutes a night, not on the top pair playing 22-25 minutes a night like he has been asked to do much of the last 2 seasons with Werenski out of the lineup. He would be a great 3rd pair LHD on a contender to play PK and play the harder minutes from the top pair guys to make their games easier to play. Then again that’s not something the majority of fans think about when trading for a player is about how it might make the job for the other players easier, like for Toronto it would make Giordano’s job easier so he doesn’t have to play all penalty minutes and top 4 minutes, he can play half the penalty minutes and top 4 minutes which is 4-6 minutes a night and that can add up in the playoffs.
