Thread: Lets Try A Lindholm Trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>dk325</b></div><div>I'd rather hold on to Sillinger at this point than chase Lindholm. Both the trade cost and contract cost pretty much make adding Lindholm an almost guaranteed poor choice long term.</div></div>

I see where you're coming from. If you make this trade you don't have to worry about acquiring a top 6 center for the next 8 years. Until the Jackets find one playoff success feels unlikely to me. If Jarmo can make it happen and make the cap work I think he will try. If he can't make the cap work I agree it shouldn't happen. I feel like they're more inclined to make a move like this because Gaudreau is only getting older. Sillinger probably won't be a 50-60 pt guy for another few years. With all the young wings I think it might be good to have a vet in the middle to balance it out

Thread: ROR 1 C
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Hockey_Mind</b></div><div>That would be great if it comes true, but that is a pretty big assumption to make and a lot of money to risk on it. I think ROR's market value right now is probably closer to $5m on a 3-4 year contract, so I'd be fine with paying him $7 if it comes at a 3 year term or less. He may not go for that, but who knows.

$7m x 2 or 3 years would be a great bridge for Carlsson or Smith to come in and Sillinger to develop. 4 or 5 years is just too long.</div></div>

I would much rather pay him less. I didn't really research comparable deals and numbers. I kinda just took 5 seconds and guessed. That would be way better. I like the Hayes term. 3 or less is definitely better. I feel like this is a better route than moving assets for somebody else. That way they can really go all in on some defenders

Thread: Deadline But All Predictions Are Wrong
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Haymaker26</b></div><div>The problem we have with Casey, imo, is that he can't handle a large workload and Jarry's injuries have made him play a larger role than he has in most previous seasons. I'm not sure if Korpisalo is even much of an improvement over DeSmith, if at all, but it's a cheap enough rental that it couldn't hurt (assuming we had the cap space).

Not sure about Edmonton. I'm not high on Gavrikov but if the market says 1st, they might get desperate and bite, and it's clear EDM has had it with Puljujarvi. Isn't Nyqvist out for the season, though?</div></div>

I am still figuring out how to respond on here

So it's looking like Nyquist will be ready for the playoffs and probably before the end of the regular season. It was initially reported he was out indefinitely and everybody just assumed full season but I don't think that's the case anymore. If healthy I think Nyquist commands a 2nd+ but with his injury he would be a great option for one of these teams that will make the playoffs comfortably and they can get him at a discount.

Thread: Something like this
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Civil_Eng_PE</b></div><div>For Item 7, I do not see us "weaponizing" cap space for picks, we are now in win now mode after this season. Any picks we would get for 2024 or 2025 would miss our window IMO.

I agree with everything else. Gus and Gavi love Columbus and I really hope they are with this team after this season. Maybe we trade them and then hope they comeback in FA.[/quote]

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>I do agree that you shouldn't be weaponizing cap space this season and I'm not sure any big changes are needed. This season ended up this way because of chemistry followed by injury. You throw in a player like Gaudreau and it's going to take time for displaced players to find their new role and then Werenski Columbus's best player get hurt. Look at Ottawa they were struggling until recently with the changes they made and both Calgary and Florida still don't have things all worked out.

When weaponizing cap I was more-so thinking about the Jackets acting as a team that would help hold back cap on rentals. For example, maybe Patrick Kane get's moved and the jackets take a quarter of it or half of it. Something like that. Nothing long term like what Arizona has done</div></div></div></div>
