<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bluejackets2000</b></div><div>It is interesting that I see a lot of Kassian to Columbus trades on this site.
Columbus neither needs, nor wants Kassian.
They are looking for more skill type players than true bangers/bruisers.
If Kassian had Tom Wilson type scoring ability, then maybe.
But as of now, there are too many young and skilled guys trying to break the lineup and the Jackets will probably have no room for several of these players as it is when the season starts.</div></div>

IDK, I feel like there's a solid argument to be made for taking on a deal like this if first-rounders come along with it. (This is during the 2022 draft, so it wouldn't impact this year's roster makeup.) But Kassian's deal would run for two years, so I'd expect two picks to come with him. Maybe a 22 2nd and 23 1st.

Sujet: Is it possible to acquire Erik Johnson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bdawwwgy1</b></div><div>So if they aren't ready, you want to just throw them out there and potentially hurt their development?</div></div>

Well, Boqvist and Peeke have already proved they're NHL-caliber D, so I don't think that's as much of a worry as putting someone like, for example, the newly-drafted Corson Ceulemans out there. It's gonna be a learning experience for these young players this year, and I don't think the assets coming back make the value what the CBJ would need. If you really think that kind of exposure would hurt their development, you could throw Kukan up as Werenski's partner (who cares if he sucks), and let Boqvist and Peeke be 2RD and 3RD, respectively. A Bean/Peeke pairing could be pretty fun.

However, I think there's value in letting Z develop chemistry with one of Peeke/Boqvist/Bean; that could be an electric pairing in a year or two once they acclimate to one another.

Sujet: Gaudreau to CLB
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Tkachinla</b></div><div>Atkinson is still the 1RW by a mile in CLB...

Though the rest of the comment stands. I know it's a high price, but I could see Treliving starting around this package and sliding it down. Like CLB fans, I'm really impressed with Texier's game and development. I don't see him getting to the 90+ points level (ie. elite), but who knows. If the package was Texier + Bjorkstrand + 2nd, I think Jarmo would really have to think about that deal for Gaudreau, even with the risk of walking to UFA in 2 years. Part of the thinking is that Gaudreau still holds big value at two trade deadlines before his contract expires, so if the fit isn't there with Dubois OR if Gaudreau told management he didn't intend to extend, they could flip him for picks/prospects and recoup a decent chunk of the price paid to get him.</div></div>

Torts has already said his top line as the roster stands is Texier - Dubois - Bjorkstrand. And Bjorkstrand easily outproduced Atkinson this year, playing at a 35-goal pace over a full 82 games. I've heard from people who would know that the front office is utterly in love with Texier, too, so I just have a hard time seeing them going for this deal.

Sujet: Line idea
I mean, given the reality of the Torts line blender, I imagine we'll see something resembling this at some point this year. But Koivu was explicitly signed to allow Jenner to move back to the wing. I'd sooner expect Jenner - Nash - Foligno on that fourth line. And Torts has said he's expecting to run Tex - Dubois - Bjorkstrand on the top line. I think it's expecting rather a lot of Grigorenko that we'd put him up top despite not playing in the NHL for years now. He's a complete wild card. Your defensive pairs are dead-on, and accurate. (I do think Gav signs for something like 2x2.5, and Dubois for 3x6.5.)

And I suspect Harrington will be up, Carlsson will be in the AHL (two-way contract and all), and so will Stenlund (moved there before waivers kick in). And everything I'm hearing suggests that McConnell isn't gonna let us use LTIR, so we'll need to find a way to squeeze Dubi's contract in on regular IR or trade him.
