It is an interesting match for both teams. Jackets have 3 potential D-men available (Peeke, Bean and Boqvist) that all are extremely hard to value in my opinion. Peeke seems to be attracting a ton of attention as a shot blocking RD, but he makes a ton of mistakes and has not proven he can handle any real defensive responsibility. I do think if he had a stable LD paired with him and was deployed in a second or third line role he would be significantly better. He has made it clear he can't play against top lines, yet we kept deploying him there. Bean and Boqvist are similar that they both have decent upside as high draft picks that are still younger defensemen and just haven't stayed healthy. There is no telling how either will develop or if they are the next Ryan Murray who will always be hurt.

The issue I see for the Jackets is locking in Garland at $5M for the next 3 years. I am not sure that is something that the Jackets want to do with all of the young guys we have to sign. This trade would leave us with $18M next year to sign Johnson, Marchenko, Tex, Sillinger, Chinakov and a couple depth guys. Not to mention potential buyouts of Gudbranson and Elvis based on this season.

I think the trade makes a ton of sense for both sides, but will be interesting to see how it comes together. I think this proposal is pretty close to what Columbus would be looking for. Jackets would be looking for an AHL player with upside or a pick along with Garland while moving out 2 guys that would require waivers to go to the AHL and likely do not have a future in Columbus.
