Thoughts?</div></div>

I really like Staal, and at 35 with 1 more year on his contract would be nice to have him, and he is still putting up decent numbers...but I definitely would not pay too much for him. Anderson (equivalent to a 2nd round pick) and a 3rd would be as much as I would want to pay. I realize the Wild are in desperate need of centers, but so are the Jackets. Wennberg is a very good younger option, and being a 2-way (defensive-minded) centerman, on a longer contact than Staal, he would fit in very well as 2C in Minnesota for a long time. Maybe swap Wennberg and a 2nd for Staal? Staal's numbers/output now is about what Wennberg put up in his highest year output....Wenny could definitely get back to those levels. Give him a new opportunity, new coach, new system (which fits his game perfectly), new wingers, etc.

Sujet: CBJ fans -- what would Korpisalo cost
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItWasIn</b></div><div>Merzlikins is exempt from the expansion draft, so I would imagine CBJ keeps Korpisalo and runs with the same solid tandem</div></div>

I think you are correct. By signing both of them to 2 year deals, the goal will be to give them both 2 years to prove who is going to be the #1 going forward long-term.
I was very surprised that Elvis got the higher valued deal over Korpi...since Korpi has been here much longer and was playing very well (not to mention Elvis seems to let his emotions get the better of him on a few occasions now).
If a team was desperate enough for a goaltender, i think the jackets would want a 1st in return. otherwise, there is no reason to part with him.
Also, since he was playing very well and he was named as an all star prior to his injury (i realize that under the new format, there are now 8 all star goaltenders instead of 6).

Sujet: Idk about this one
The Jackets will most likely give Foudy some playing time during the playoffs, just like they did Texier &amp; Gavrikov last year, to audition him to see where he is at developmentally.
It will give them an idea if he is ready for regular minutes in the NHL (albeit most likely on the wing instead of at center).
This will help guide them going into 2020-21 season regarding what to do with Wennberg.
If Foudy is NHL ready, they will probably keep Wennberg for another year, play Wennberg &amp; Jenner at center with Foudy on the wing, and hope to entice a TDL trade or Seattle to take him (Wennberg).
Otherwise, they also may try Grigorenko at 3C or 4C to see if he is capable.
All this will be gearing up for a couple years' time when Werenski &amp; Jones &amp; Bjorkstrand are due for their big contracts.

Sujet: Would rangers acquire Saad for a first
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SlickWilly</b></div><div>What do you think has more value, Marchenko or your 1st? Also, do you think Strome would be a solid fit there as well, possibly needing a 2c? Trying to gauge value for a big for fun post</div></div>

It is hard to say where our #1 pick will be. Is it based on how this mini playoff pans out? The pick could be anywhere from #8 to #20 (I can’t see Jackets making it to the conference finals). Marchenko has had great reviews, but I haven’t really seen him play. Based on CBJ last 5 or so years’ track record of scouting/drafting, Odds are Marchenko is going to be very good, and probably more valuable than the pick. That being said, Strome would probably fit in Very well, He seems to score more than Wennberg, and seems to play responsibly in his own end. Jackets are actually banking on Foudy coming in and filling 2C in a couple years time.
