<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Among 11 Blue Jackets defensemen who have players at least 100 minutes at 5v5 this season, Gavriikov ranks

- 9th for Points/60
- 10th for shots/60
- 7th for scoring chances/60

That's not "competent" in the offensive zone, that's terrible.

His 0.90 takeaways/60 is terrible (all Oilers defensemen are better) and 2.91 hits/60 is similar to Tyson Barrie, one if Edmonton's least physical players. 3.54 blocks/60 says he's okay but not great at blocking shots, especially when you consider how much the Jackets defend.

The guy is the only defensive defenseman we have. He starts 70% of his shifts in the D zone, of course he isn't going to put up numbers from our zone. Doesn't help that the team around him has no idea how to play this new defensive system and we can't get the puck out of our zone. Add in the injuries and rotating partners and this season is just a mess. He is a low end #1 LD or a very solid #2 LD playing in the worst setting in the NHL right now.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aadoyle</b></div><div>I think u do

Roslavic or Johnson or heck maybe CBJ does a trade with some of the picks for one of SJS's C's or goes after Larkin, ROR, Horvat via FA.
Sillinger
Bedard
Kuraly</div></div>

Roslovic has been scratched and benched multiple times this year, he looks like a 3C at best now.
Johnson hasn't played center in years and definitely not at this level. Counting on him is a long shot right now. I would love for it to be work, but that is probably a year plus away.
Sillinger has had some growing pains this year. Hopefully he can be a solid middle 6 C for a long time, but putting more on his plate right now would be a terrible idea.
Getting a C in this draft would be huge, but not guaranteed.
Kuraly is a great 4C.

All of that to say we may have options to put in the middle, but that does not mean that any of them are good,.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wylewubas</b></div><div>realistically boone jenner would probably be available especially with Columbus probably rebuilding for the duration of his contract he will eventually want out with a chance to get a cup, especially since hes nearing his 30's. kunin while i dont watch much of his him so cant really be a reliable source is a top 9 guy who can put contribute some offensively and is solid defensively adds some needed grit to the lineup and is also only 25. and was a relatively high pick in 2016 so the potential is still there.</div></div>

No matter what you want to believe, Boone is not available for a price that makes any sense to another team. Captain, signed to a team friendly deal at a position of weakness. All of that adds up to a price that is higher than any team would offer if Jarmo is even willing to listen.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>AndrewPawlack</b></div><div>not sure why so many jackets fans want to part with Nyquist right now.
Just had the 3rd best year of his career on a team-down year(1 point away from 2nd best), and he wants to stay here. Not on that steep of a contract either, 5.5 for 50+ points, and expires next year. If he wants an extension as he is getting into his 30s, he could take a cheaper deal, or we can wait till the deadline and retain sell him to a desperate buyer. But he has already said he doesn't want to leave. But as we saw with Atkinson, no one is safe.</div></div>

We have too many wingers. Laine-Voracek, Bjorkstrand-Gus, Johnson-Tex, Chinny-Marchenko, Robinson-Danforth, Bemstrom-Foudy are roughly how I rank the pairings. With the exceptions of Johnson, Chinny and Marchenko, all 9 of those wingers have to be on the roster or pass through waivers. The hope is that those 3 exceptions don't need to be in Cleveland very long, so you have to clear out space. Gus is a luxury at this point that will likely not be around for the completion of the rebuild. Might as well move him and get something in return rather than let him walk. Hopefully you move him and can you that return to get a C or RD.
