CBJ Pass.

• CBJ have invested three first-round picks on defensemen in the past two drafts: Corson Ceulemans at No. 25 in 2021, and David Jiricek at No. 6 and Denton Mateychuk at No. 12 this summer. It won’t be long before they’re claiming NHL roster spots, even if one of them is included in the trade.

• Chychrun (left shot) has played mostly on the left side in the NHL. He’d be an instant upgrade to the overall unit, sure, but somebody in the top four would have to move to the right side. Not ideal. And not Greta to give up this much for a middle-pairing guy.

• His injury concerns are real. Beyond the ankle and wrist work this summer, he’s had both ACLs repaired and a shoulder surgery to fix a torn ligament. That’s a lot of work for a player who doesn’t turn 25 until March.

Someone is going to overpay for him (good for you, ASU!), but I do not want it to be CBJ.

Sujet: (CBJ/SEA) - Bjorkstrand for 2023 3rd and 4th RD picks
I am surprised this is such a landslide as a win for Seattle.

This is the definition of a 'fair deal'.

It is difficult, if not impossible to move out cap with term right now. Even for great players. Columbus managed to do it and get assets. Even if those assets are less than what people would like for the player under a less restrictive cap ceiling.

Look at it this way, they traded Bjorkstand for a 3rd, a 4th, and the facilitation of Johnny Gaudreau's signing.

People will bring up Gudbranson, as if this is NHL 2022, but the reality is that Gudbranson's cap hit isn't linked to this series of transactions because he plays a completely different role/position. They identified that they needed another top 4 defenseman. They may very well have chosen the wrong guy, but in any event the were going to sign someone to top 4 money.

Should they have given up a 1st round pick to move Nyquist instead? That is apparently what the cost was to move JVR. I can't imagine it's much cheaper for Nyquist right now.

Whether they moved on from Laine, Bjorkstrand, Nyquist, Roslovic, etc - the cost was either going to be high to dump a contract, or for players who aren't negative value, the return was going to hurt. This was the cost of acquiring Gaudreau and keeping some balance to the team.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JarmoK</b></div><div>I know the trend is to bash Seth Jones, but he is still regarded as a top 7 dman in the league by NHLers (recent survey had him just outside the top 5)

CBJ won’t include Marchenko. Maybe Chinakov, but they seem pretty high on him too. Eichel won’t fetch what most people think he will. Anaheim won’t add Zegras or Drysdale. CBJ can beat the best trade offer without gutting the cupboard.</div></div>


I love Jones he was the first jersey I bought however I don’t think any rental in today’s day and age is to fetch a top 4 defenseman and a potential top line center plus more.

I think your right and eichel and he’s gonna be a disappointing return but I think it’s going to be alittle stronger than this.
