<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Which half of the guys won't have any value? Only Gaudreau, Jenner, Gudbranson, Severson and Merzlikins are signed through 2025-26 or later and will be over the age of 28.

If we wait a couple years, Fantilli, Brindley, Sillinger, Johnson, Mateychuk, and Jiricek won't have even hit their prime, they'll be 23 or younger. Texier, Marchenko, Voronkov, Chinakhov will be 26 or younger, just finally hitting their prime. Werenski and Laine will be 28.

I think people forget just how young this team is, 2nd youngest in the league. There really isn't an option other than wait for the next core to develop. Building around Jenner, Gaudreau, etc. isn't it. We tried that this year, and it's clear there isn't enough supporting cast to push for the playoffs yet. It's 100% fine to let the young core develop another couple of years and let Gaudreau, Jenner, and any other vets that stick around take lesser roles on a more competitive team.</div></div>

I think they are saying a lot of these young guys are gonna bust out.
Which is a fair concern but I don’t see it being as likely.
IMO players hitting their ceilings are as it follows.
Locks are marchy and Fantilli, likely hits are sillinger, voronkov and maybes (50/50s) are Johnson chinakhov and Johnson. This is also to reach full potential not to miss the league like a nail yakupov.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Birtle34</b></div><div>Doesn’t sound like laine is returning to Columbus, Anderson probably a nonstarter, possibly not a burnt bridge, but just doesn’t really fit a window or need. Barron could be interesting but his ceiling is probably limited and getting later as a prospect. Not exactly sure Montreal and that pressure cooker of a media market is exactly right for a recovering player making more than the top player currently on the squad. Just don’t overly see the fit either way, I wonder if a pit or Carolina come a calling with a aho or poolparty and try to reignite some magic from those finish junior teams. Columbus in a tight spot either way.</div></div>

Where’s the reporting on laine? I haven’t seen that Laine is done with Columbus.
