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.

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.
