Jackets will try to improve the defense and hope Elvis can rebound next year. no point in selling at his absolute lowest value and retaining 10 million on him. They also already have too many RDs as is

Two months ago I probably wouldve agreed. Mittelstadt's found his game now, no reason to do this for another LHD.

Merzlikins is bad, and CBJ are not retaining 10 mil combined.

I wouldn't trade Mittelstadt at all. He is very good recently and very good locker room guy.
