Sujet: danault facilitating a three-way trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PuckLuck_77</b></div><div>This is certainly something different and has some thought put into it.

But I sincerely doubt that Danault waives his NMC for Columbus, and I don't think PLD for Danault is what the Kings want to do for the way they play the game. LA lives off of their defensive forwards, and Danault has been the only one that's been able to consistently hold McDavid at least on Earth when he's not paired with Draisaitl. Kopitar, through no fault of his own since age waits for no man, can't keep up with McDavid. And I don't trust PLD to be the guy that goes against 97 in a long series. Not at all.</div></div>

danault's NMC would definitely be the biggest hurdle. as for your other points, i don't disagree at all, but i think the appeal is more medium/long-term than short-term. being able to roll kopitar-pld-byfield down the middle would be absurd, and a pld-byfield duo after kopitar retires would be nasty to face in the playoffs.

Sujet: Byfield
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LosPatos</b></div><div>I’d used that first to go after an already established 1C / 2C. Byfield is really shakey</div></div>

the only guys out there who fit that bill are either going to be under contract well into their late 30s (hertl), pure rentals (backlund), both (lindholm with or without an extension) or flawed/expensive mid-term (kuznetsov, hayes).

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>pwisch17</b></div><div>Not sure how this makes sense with CBJ adding a top C in the draft this year. Byfield hasn’t developed as fast as expected and is not an immediate 1C answer. He’d be on the same growth curve as the 3OA pick this year, so it just seems redundant.</div></div>

whoever they draft (assuming carlsson/smith) won't be NHL ready right away. byfield would be a year ahead of them, and already has pro experience. don't think he'd be redundant at all.

the appeal of adding him would boil down to wanting a long-term 1-2 punch with their 2023 pick and byfield as their top two centers. that'd also make sillinger a potential plus as the #3 and voronkov as the #4 – with all four of those guys being either on ELCs or RFA deals, instead of UFA deals taking them into their late 30s (i.e. moving significant pieces for lindholm and then extending him).

Sujet: one fell swoop
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HockeyIsMyPassion61</b></div><div>Karlsson is massively overpaid for his production, And there's no reason for Martinez to waive for a team that's in the Connor Bedard sweepstakes.</div></div>

William Karlsson this year: 14-39–53, 17:28 TOI/GP, +14

Recent free agent centers:
Andrew Copp: 21-32–53, 19:11 TOI/GP, +15 -- $5.6m x 5 years
Ryan Strome: 21-33–54, 18:19 TOI/GP, +15, -- $5m x 5 years
Vincent Trocheck: 21-30–51, 17:52 TOI/GP, +21, $5.6m x 7 years

Extremely similar production (and Karlsson is less of a PP threat than those guys, too) – Karlsson has a slightly higher AAV but doesn't have the long term. No, he hasn't lived up to his 40-goal season, but he's paid appropriately as a 2C on a team that has two better options (Eichel and Stephenson), so he's a luxury.

As for Martinez, he has a 12-team NTC that slides to an 8-team NTC this summer. Most players use 7 of those slots on the Canadian teams. I'd wager that Arizona, Anaheim and Chicago are pretty common on those lists nowadays, too. Depending on the timing, it may not even be up to him, but if it is, Columbus may not even be on his list given that he played college hockey in Ohio.

Sujet: MTL move from 5 to 2
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LIRIK</b></div><div>I agree the 2023 draft top 16 is the best since 2015. That's why i wouldn't call FLA 2023 1st a mid first. </div></div>

there is an enormous drop-off after the top four. none of those picks are getting moved.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LIRIK</b></div><div>I think Smith + one of ASP/Leonard/Wood or any other prospect available at 16 versus Fantilli is close value wise.</div></div>

i don't think it's close at all in a vacuum. fantilli is more valuable. if not for bedard we'd be talking about him as the best draft-eligible forward since matthews.

for the jackets specifically, it leans even heavier toward fantilli. given the depth in our system, i'd much rather get one premium piece than two very good ones.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LIRIK</b></div><div>I'm not even sure if i would trade let's say Smith and Leonard for Fantilli. Would you?</div></div>

still not worth giving up fantilli for that, and i say that as someone who thinks smith and leonard are both top-10 quality prospects.

Sujet: Offseason
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CaseyFlyman</b></div><div>Peeke just signed a 3 year extension that kicks in next year, and management/coaching seems to love him, so it's really unlikely he gets moved over someone like Boqvist.

However, I'm not a Peeke fan (he's an overrated, younger Gudbranson IMO), so personally I'd take that and never look back.</div></div>

Adam Boqvist signed a nearly identical extension two months before Peeke signed his (granted Peeke's doesn't kick in right away like Boqvist's did). Boqvist's also been a bright spot for the Jackets this year while Peeke's been pretty stagnant.

The Jackets have a lot of other guys at RHD and Peeke (big young RHD, term + low cap) make him the most moveable of the group.

Normally I'd say they would probably prefer a center to come back – Krebs would be a great target here (with CBJ adding something) – but since they have to clear a logjam I could see them moving him for picks. Peeke + a 3rd for a mid/late first would make more sense than just moving him for a second. Then they could move that first + the LAK first + their own second for a stud LHD or center.

Sujet: big swing for pettersson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey_Mind</b></div><div>With JG, KJ, March, Jiricek, Sillinger, Chinakov and maybe Tex &amp; Blanks all getting re-signed within the next 3 years, I don't think CBJ are going to have the cap space for it. They would definitely have to let Laine go at the end of his deal, and I'm not sure yet if that's the right call. He could really thrive with some improved center play.</div></div>

KJ's next deal should be fairly reasonable since he's a 10.2(c) RFA -- same with chinny -- and jiricek's ELC is going to slide. the cap situation actually looks pretty solid since a lot of their money (gudbranson, laine, jenner) would come off the books the same summer as jiricek + their 2023 pick become RFAs.

definitely agree that laine could thrive with better center play, though.

that said… if they can get three ELC years of someone like bedard/fantilli, i think finding another star center would take priority over the long-term cap. the goal would be to become as competitive as possible in that three-year timeframe and then prioritize extensions beyond that.

Sujet: big swing for pettersson
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey_Mind</b></div><div>Love the idea but it's probably not enough. I REALLY like the idea of targeting Martinez since he's still solid and only has one year left.

I still think CBJ will be getting their 1C with their first rounder, so any veteran center they add would have to be on a 2-3 year term IMO. Hayes is an ideal candidate.</div></div>

martinez would be ideal since one (or both) of svozil/mateychuk will probably be ready the following year. also they could re-sign him to another one-year deal to be a third pairing guy if he likes it here.

as for the pettersson part of that, i do think there's a lot to be said for adding an elite center (if they can get one) while their 2023 pick is on an ELC. in terms of what the jackets could add… ceulemans could be added provided this happens after the draft and EP40 is open to extending with columbus.

would give them an elite 1-2 punch down the road. if it's bedard (i used fantilli in this example) you could put him at RW1 and pencil johnson in at 2C.

i've also noticed that most CBJ fans are vehemently against the idea of adding kevin hayes. i'm all for it, personally, but think that they'll set their sights on a bigger target first.
