<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>csick</b></div><div>And they could literally draft like Levshunov and Catton this year with the 2 picks. Who knows what Jiricek will be anyways</div></div>

All swapping Jiricek for Levshunov would theoretically do is set back the timeline though, This wouldn't make sense for Columbus given that a 1RD, which would be the hope for either player, is one of their biggest needs. They obviously aren't there yet, but if you're managing the team, you're probably looking at 25-26 as the goal to start seeing some form of on ice success, given the timeline of all their young players and prospects. Currently, Jiricek is more likely to be ready to fill that role at that point, has the higher floor, and arguably the higher upside.

Saying "Who knows what Jiricek will be anyways" also really makes no sense here considering we're talking about an 18 year old as the alternative.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>I'd argue it doesn't cost quite one first to move Campbell's deal, since EDM buying him out is a legitimate option in the offseason (and certainly better than parting with 2 1sts). But it doesn't change the fact that it's a quick no.

There's absolutely zero chance, no scenario, where a team trades and retains on 6 years of a 7 year deal they just signed.</div></div>

Even worse, it's 7 of 8 cause they traded that 4th to get his rights.

Your point about Campbell is fair, but I think it's really only applicable to Edmonton's POV. Like, it only makes sense to trade so much to get out of him since they can also buy out. I'd argue the cost for another team to take it on willingly and either buy out themselves or let it run out is much higher and closer to the 2 1sts I said though, because they're willingly hamstringing themselves at that point, and the cost for that is much higher than the cost the team already in the situation will pay to get out, if that makes sense.

Hmmmm, definitely some ideas I like here.

I kinda like Rust for Laine in a vacuum (assuming Laine is out of the PAP this summer), but with the retention and 4 more years for a 31 year old Rust I'm not too sure. If he had less contract I'd like it a lot more. Would be concerned about him being a cap liability down the line once the team is (hopefully) good, where Laine only has 2 more years after this on that big contract, which I'd like to just wait out at this point.

Definitely low on some of the RFAs, specifically Marchenko. I'd expect them to try and get a longer term deal if possible, bit Chinakov is probably too low as well. KJ is probably fine since it's just a 1 year deal, makes sense given his performance this year.

I definitely can't see the Grubrandson deal happening though. Tampa is tight on the cap, definitely can't afford to pay a 3rd pair D man 4 million. I think he could actually be valuable there in their system, kinda like how Bogo really stepped up while there. The money just doesn't work though.
