<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>titchy_jelly</b></div><div>Gaudreau and the second don’t mix in my mind, either he’s on your first or he’s not on your team</div></div>

Gaudreau is a great player but it’s pretty obvious that he cannot carry a team. He needs space to be able to operate and be affective. He had that in Calgary playing on a line with Lindholm and Tkachuk.

Putting Jenner on his opposite wing will give him someone who can forecheck aggressively and help create space for him, and Fantilli is obviously a very skilled center who has already been pretty effective as a 19-year-old and should be able to learn to play with control pretty quickly. Jenner can still take some faceoffs for that line as well to help earn possession.

This gives the Jackets closer to two number one lines than a typical 1 and 2, and I would anticipate that those top two lines draw very similar TOI numbers.

Just being the top line winger on paper is nothing but an ego and status thing which doesn’t matter at all to Gaudreau. All players want is to win, and these moves give CBJ some very good vets who play with passion and can help push this franchise forward.

Sujet: Accepting Offer From NYI Fan
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Aebexz</b></div><div>Might be wrong about these takes but I genuinely think both Islanders and Toronto accepts. Regarding the rest I don’t think so.

Blue Jackets fans will not accept the Peeke trade and it won’t even be close because they see him as a decent top 4 guy with some great defensive upside alongside a fantastic contract.

Nashville is weird but from what I understand they will use this year to just evacuate things. But the one thing I don’t think they’ll do is give away draft picks.

The Vancouver trade will be a big no from the Canucks side. A top 10 draft pick for a 2nd rounder from the same draft just speaks for itself considering neither of them has established themselves in the NHL.

Last but not least it’s Minnesota. Järnkrok is great but I doubt they would part ways with Foligno and his play-style for him. Regarding Middleton, he’s on their 1st pairing for a reason. Plus, Why would Minnesota give up every last dollar of their cap space to not get better? I can see them at least thinking about Järnkrok-Foligno but never Middleton-Brodie</div></div>

What CBJ fans are you talking to because 90% of us think he’s a 3rd pair only player and he’s slightly overpaid. He blocks shots and hits, but consistently gets walked and doesn’t do **** on offense. He’s played top-4 the past two years because of injuries and Boqvist not developing, and he’s been horrible against the tougher competition. That’s why Jarmo went out and overpaid for Severson.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Intriguing....

It would obviously take a massive haul to get Bedard, but I can't see Jenner being part of it, or Jones coming the other way. Fantilli, Jiricek, and a 1st, probably more. The issue isn't sacrificing the future, it's sacrificing a few potentially elite pieces for one potentially generational piece. I'm not sure that's a wise decision in today's NHL, where even the best players only play 25-30 minutes a night.

I think if it were to happen, the trade would have had to have happened at the draft, before those picks turned into the actual players. If you're trading Jiricek, 3OA, next year's first, etc. for 1OA, that's one thing. Once you put faces to those picks and get them into the organization, it's way harder to justify a trade.</div></div>

I wouldn’t trade Fantilli. Dead stop.

This is as close to a legit trade as I think could be made for Bedard. Yes losing Jenner is incredibly painful, and taking back Jones is a big risk, but reuniting him with Werenski is probably a better situation for him than any other

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drambui</b></div><div>yeah, could be more in the end. I was just trying to come up with a comparable that his as close to the gretzky trade as possible. at the time Carson was seen as one of the best prospect in the game. Dont think people will talk about laine as a prospect anymore. 5 years ago it would have been perfect for him for sure!</div></div>

Sure, but there is also Jiricek and Johnson here, who are two of the best prospects in the league right now. The side by side comparison is as for value sake, if you still just want to look at future upside and youth, this trade has that also with Jiricek Johnson, Sillinger and the unprotected pick - which still has a chance of being high since our top two centers (albeit are studs) are rookies.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>drambui</b></div><div>the big thing i disagree is the carson part, age wise fantilli is way closer to to carson than laine. laine was a second overall 7 years ago as opposed to 2 years for carson.</div></div>

Fair argument but they aren’t that far off. Both had 50 goal potential. Carson really dropped off after his first three years. Yes he was younger at the time of the trade with huge upside, but I’d say Laine has equal upside even if he’s older, he’s still only 25.

Even if you give that comparable slightly to Carson because of his age at the time of trade, I think the aggregate still comes out in favor of being greater for Bedard due to Kent Johnson and Boone Jenner being included. Every other comparable besides Carson/Laine outweighs the Gretzky trade.
