<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>I have looked into him for two seasons now. Mainly because what everyone seems to say doesn't at all match the results. From an analytical point of view, he's brutal and the results matched that. And this season he's been once again terrible in the lineup (4 games) and the advance stats and results follow suit. So how is this ill informed? I'd love to see anything that tells a different story beyond "he eats shots" from Columbus fans who desperately hope to recoup an asset.</div></div>

Wow 2 whole season, gee whiz! Id suggest you actually watch him play rather than leaning on analytics. Maybe look into context, where was he playing in the lineup and why. There is so much more to a player than what analytics can show. Thats probably why you are still uninformed and sounds like jackets fans have tried to educate you in the past, but you want to pretend you know better. To each their own

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>I absolutely can't understand it? A few of them are goons who only see hits, everything else is soft to them and they don't understand hockey. Others I think just don't know anything beyond what people comment on here. And Columbus fans have been giving the used car salesman pitch for Peeke for 2 years now. He's not a player.</div></div>

hes a solid 3RD option for most teams. Dudes eats shots and can play that role. He only breaks down when he is leaned on too much, he is not a 3RD that you want moving up your lineup. If a team cements him to the 3RD spot, they will be happy with him. If he wouldnt be claimed on waivers, hed probably already have been waived. The fact that we havent means we can probably get some return for him, but probably alot less than us jackets fans want. People who think he is worthless or would need to pay to dump is just as bad as the people who think he will get a good return, both are uninformed. He is probably worth a 5th and more if it requires retained salary.

Sujet: trading the captain
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bricher33</b></div><div>I'm not entirely sure about that. His trade value would be pretty damn high seeing as how he's currently tied for 11th in the league in goals, wins draws like it's his only job, and is a model for young players. That's not even mentioning HES 11TH IN THE LEAGUE ON A 3.75 MILL A YEAR DEAL. with 2 years to go. There is zero chance Columbus trades him but everything and everone has a price and if i was Jarmo that price would start with 2 firsts and a solid C prospect.</div></div>

His trade value is very high, but then you add on that he's doing all that while wanting to stay in Columbus, as a captain for a young team, who just passed the franchise games-played record. And he's a center, on a team that's so starved for center we're still actively looking for one, all despite our 3OA pick performing well and Jenner being tied for 11th in the league in goals.

You're absolutely right, and 2 first and a solid prospect is a start if you're looking to trade him, but I assure you, his internal value is still higher. Besides, the FO doesn't move him without immediately losing the room and their jobs.
