<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CoachCoach</b></div><div>Understandable, and yes he is a great player. But to think you’re getting a top end D prospect who went 6th, another high end C prospect who went 9, a possible lottery pick, and more for a guy who still has his blemishes is just as unrealistic.</div></div>

He's equally as likely to be traded as Larkin.

Danielson, Edvinsson, and 2024 1st is rich for the player, but it's also not far off from realistic for how much it would take to make Columbus <em>actually</em> part with a guy who, at 26, is already the franchise's all-time leader among D-men in goals, assists, and points, regularly the best player on the ice, and likely next in line for the captaincy.

It's a little like the Boone discussion: yeah, the player is worth X, but to <em>actually </em> get him...well, how attached is your GM to his job?

Sujet: Apparently Laine can play center
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>I mean, we've been so desperate for a top center that I'd entertain anything. He looked fine there last season.

My major concern is it opens up a massive hole at 2RW, especially when we're going to have at least two top-6 centers in a year or two with Sillinger, Fantilli, and Jenner. Try it, but don't commit to it if it's not working.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>The_Cannon</b></div><div>Introducing yegor chinakhov!
If he sticks at center that gives chinakhov a shot to play legit top 6 minutes. He looked good in his showings last year. I’m excited to see what he can do this year.</div></div>

The other option is Roslovic. We already know he and Laine work very well together. Could be interesting to see what happens with Laine as his center.

Sujet: The other side of the Washington Retool
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Logicalicesports</b></div><div>Its odd that you say they easily decline, I have had several people believe this a solid transaction on both sides.</div></div>

Must not be jackets fans then. 2nd, third, and fourth round picks don’t do much for the jackets anymore. They have one of the best prospect pools on top of the youngest roster in the NHL. They are going to have a tough time finding sports for the guys already in the system they don’t need more picks. What they need are young players like sillinger who can produce on ELC/RFA contracts. I think for Kuz to not have negative value he needs retention as we’ve seen with the market for old and overpaid centers this off-season. I think kuz is worth more to the caps than the return he will get by being traded so I doubt he’s traded this year

Sujet: the only team with surplus cap
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BCAPP</b></div><div>Out of curiosity who do Columbus fans think will be the odd man out on the backend? Seem to have a lot of bodies. Boqvist seems plausible to me (not saying for the above return, just to be traded)</div></div>

There's a not unlikely situation that it's nobody. Blankenburg is waiver exempt and they could run with 2 extra defense 1 extra forward instead of the usual 2 forwards 1 defense. They could have Werenski, Provorov, Severson, Jiricek, Peeke, Bean, Boqvist, and Gudbranson at the start of the season while they test Jiricek out. If he's not ready then he goes back to the minors and they're left with the other 7 for the season and Blankenburg as a call up option or regular rotation depending on what Babcock wants each night. If Jiricek does stick then they could field offers as the season goes on and teams take injuries or they take a couple themselves that eliminates the need for a trade.

Sujet: Monster trade for Fantilli
For all of the trade up scenarios people have been posting recently I think its important to remember that in the NHL teams rarely will trade back if they think they are trading out of a certain tier of player and when they do it's usually after all of what they think are the real top of the lineup prospects are gone. If a team has Michkov, Reinbacher, Dvorsky, Benson, and Moore in the same tier, they would probably be willing to trade back from say 6 to 9 but probably not 6 to 12. I think the top tiers for this draft are pretty clearly Bedard at 1 and Fantilli at 2. It gets tricky after that, as certain teams may have any combo of the 3 of Michkov, Carlsson, and Smith next. Either way, I feel like it would be pretty much impossible for CBJ to move up to 2 unless ANA <em>really</em> likes Carlsson or Michkov. Even though Carlsson, Michkov, and Smith all would've gone 1oa last year, I still feel like the consensus is that Fantilli is far enough ahead of them to make trading out of that spot pretty unthinkable for ANA
