Sujet: Off-season off stasis
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>This wasn't an absolute value, it was a relative comparison. Myers is still a slight positive asset, but his age, not-so-good recent play, and AAV (which is still a factor) aren't helping to boost his value. I'm arguing that a 25-year-old RD on a reasonable contract with term coming off a career year is a better asset than a 33-year-old RD with a higher AAV on the decline. That's not an absurd take. You could flip Myers half-retained at the deadline to a contender for a 3rd round pick in all likelihood.

It's a similar argument with Roslovic. In this case, both are overpaid, are about the same age, and score at strikingly similar rates. But Roslovic plays a more valuable position, and even though it's pretty evident Garland is the better player overall, he makes nearly $1M more for 2 more years than Roslovic. It's more valuable to have an expiring "bad" contract at 3C than a lengthy more expensive contract for similar production at 3RW.

Besides, you sent both to a team whose last two needs are RD and middle-6 winger. You'd get better value sending them elsewhere. The only thing that's "way out of touch" is thinking that CBJ would view this as an even swap that somehow fills positional needs.</div></div>

Thanks for that, finally someone who can be bothered to come up with a reasonable take regarding the Blue Jackets, the only thing I might quibble with is whether or not Peeke's contract is truly reasonable, even if it's more efficient than Tyler Myers at 6M by a good quarter-mile, not a country mile, but a quarter-mile. Of course we know what a low bar that is

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>As much as you might not want to believe it, they have a pretty good forward situation for the forseeable future. Gaudreau, Laine, Fantilli, KJ, and Marchenko are locked in as top 6 guys. Today Jenner is the 6th, but if they get another solid top 6C then he gets pushed to a 3rd line role and likely on the wing. Voronkov or Sillinger are the likely 3C of the future and then they've got Texier, Chinakhov, LDBB, Brindley, and Dumais left to fight for the remaining 3W spot. Why would you bring a $5M player into that situation when the internal options have far better potential and are mostly on ELCs?</div></div>

Fair point, but not all of those guys are gonna pan out, and everybody already knows that Columbus's forward outlook is the least of their worries
