Sujet: marner to columbus
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BigAl6884</b></div><div>Probably would not have to worry about it. Marner is not going to waive his NMC to go to Columbus! Part of the reason a player negotiates for a NMC is that they would not want to go to certain places. Much like most stars, they are not lining up to go there (unless you are Gaudreau and look how that turned out LOL</div></div>

I was ready to pull my hair out at first sight of this. A proposal or two like this started showing up every day right after the Leaves flamed out again: “Let’s dump Marner on….I know! Columbus!” Then it’s all about how Marner would never waive his clause to go there, all too easily forgetting that Columbus doesn’t want Toronto's trash in the first place.

But at least this one is more interesting and reasonable.

Sujet: MTL gets their young forward for 3rd year in a row
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ParkerD</b></div><div>And to clear this up. This would be a fresh start for Johnson who doesn't seem to be fitting in/ used right with CBJ. He seems like someone who would thrive with Marty St louis and the young core. MTL may need to add more, but I did it for fun.</div></div>

If by “used right” you mean, “in a way that doesn’t expose the shortcomings in his game that accompany his frail, not-yet-developed physique,” the CBJ are doing just that. He was also having a bit of a sophomore slump. I don’t think the Jackets are anywhere near ready to move on from him, but he’s probably still two years away from having a meaningful impact. It’s not his fault, but he’s getting leaned on by opponents who see it.
