0 chance CBJ agrees to this.

0 chance there is a 0 chance. Don't be jealous that the Devils lost out on Markstrom and settled for Jake Allen LMAO

Kent doesn’t want out. He literally never said a word about being demoted. And if we were to move him it wouldn’t be for this package.

Oh ok glad you’re able to decide for Kent what he wants. Glad a rebuilding team is moving a young player and a first for a second line winger and a 34 year old goalie. You make a lot of sense!!

I do. Thanks!

I don't think Kent said he wanted out. But like Chinakov, Jiricek, expressed frustration. Now the GM has been fired...so probably a clean slate.

No one knows. Anyone saying differently with clarity is a blowhard. And, this is simply a reason to move Kent among many others. I don't know if you'd like to be demoted at your job and blamed but Kent clearly didn’t like being demoted.

CBJ needs to blow up their roster.
A new GM would want to put his imprint on this team as well whether it’s Davidson or someone else.

If one is demoted because they are not performing well, one's complaints may fall on deaf ears.

Hockey culture says differently. BUT again, no one knows. Anyone saying that the mix is fine in CBJ is delusional.

Ottawa/Buffalo/CBJ need major overhauls. And, this is what this site is supposed to do. Brainstorm ideas. If you are triggered by this as a CBJ, looks inwards and deal with it!
Losing culture/mentality is a thing in the ultimate team sport. There is no 'core' when you cant actually put a few good games in a row together and continually disappoint. The definition of insanity is repeating the same steps and expecting different results.

Kinda funny that a Calgary fan would call Columbus "toxic". The upcoming UFAs on the Flames except for Backlund all wanted. Hanifan, Zaradov, Lindholm, Toffelli.
Now maybe Columbus is toxic....probably just incompetent.

What an awful trade for Columbus, no chance they consider that.

The self awareness of this one is zero. You're literally culprit #1.

If you're actually interested in having a discussion (doubtful): this isn't "making necessary changes", this is terrible asset management. Rebuilding teams don't trade likely 2 top-5 picks (KJ and the 2025 1st) for a 3rd liner with one good year and a second $5M+ goalie with term, that's straight-up moronic.

I'd entertain moving every single one of those pieces (but not until KJ is healthy post-surgery recovery) for upgrades, but saying KJ definitively wants out, having Columbus trade for Markstrom given Elvis is still here, and then gaslighting fans that tell you that doesn't make sense is some brainworm s***.

you are missing the 10 in front of your zero.
They aren't trading Kent.

Jackets aren’t trading Kent Johnson. Wouldn’t trade him alone for that package. Flames don’t have the right pieces to get him

Not attacking a fan base pointing out a few individuals who are always crying the NHL is rigged against Canadian teams garbage. As I said most Canadian people I've met (worked 17 years on golf courses in Florida it's many ) are tough minded if not physically but extremely friendly please explain how that's gaslighting a fan base? They'll never win the lottery however in the last 20 drafts a Canadian team has won the lottery 6 times statistically exactly where it should be that's nothing but crying that's unwarranted. 5 of seven 7 from 2010-2016 the league was rigging it against American teams. Way better argument there than the garbage you lay out.

You're right, Columbus does need to make changes. Those changes dont begin with trading away young players that have barely begun to show their potential though. Players like Jenner, Elvis, Provorov, Kuraly, and other vets that are getting the biggest share of icetime are the ones whose futures should be in doubt. Wilfully ignoring how the roster has been deployed makes your opinion on who should be traded completely irrelevant.

Perfect gaslight. You speak words to which you know not the meaning.
I never said anything about something being rigged. I alluded to the unfairness of the lottery, at best! I lose brain cells every time I read the ignorant nonsense here. What a waste of human space in this thread. So happy I dont spend too much time here speaking of irrelevant opinions. You are all trolls that think you are the majority but are outliers in society. Keep living eternally online without hope, losers especially the weirdo mods that proliferate mass trolling and cliques!

Noted pittsburgh penguins fan is upset that the devils didn't trade for Markstrom?

How's it unfair? You lose brain cells apparently then from fact driven arguments if your lumping mine in there.
You "God forbid you give a Canadian team a break with a lottery win." They statistically have gotten the number overall exactly proportional amount of times. Including 2 years ago. Your argument they don't is inaccurate at best and whining like a 2 year old is more reasonable statement.

And yet you're insisting with perfect clarity that everything is terrible here and everybody wants out.

Look in a mirror, hon.

Only homer trolls think that are dunking on ACGM authors by insulting them. But they treat every ACGMs like s*** when ACGMs doing the most so roasting an ACGM when we're doing the least like satire, it doesn't mean anything.

Trolls are only responding because it's getting to them. But the trolls responding weren't ever nothing but homers that ACGMs weren’t willing to deal with anyway...

And then the Insults are in response to fantasy trades, which doesn't mean anything.

Four days to come up with this response. Is this really getting to you that badly?
