I'd prefer we go for the younger version of ROR. He's 34 and still very productive, but for how long?

Signing him as a free agent would be another issue.

he's under contract until 27/28. I could see him having a Giroux type of arc where he plays well until like 37. Seems like players are falling off later in their careers, late 30's. Also I don't think a younger version of ROR exists, or at least one thats available

a pipe dream and a costly one at that would be getting Marchenko from CBJ. it would be the equivalent of the Hagel package at the time

Exactly what the team needs. More Top 6/Top line scoring. Not like the team will end up with 6 20 goal scorers, possibly 4 40 goal scorers.
 
If Nashville wants a 2nd or two, plus a prospect or AHL player not named Geekie or Howard and maybe a roster player for cap purposes for ROR, fine. If they want 1sts or either of Tampa's top prospects, hard pass.
 
ROR scares me, feel like he could fall off of a cliff soon and it'd become an anchor.

An UFA target we should pursue, if he makes it to UFA, is Ehlers. Great player.

Ehlers would be a bit of an awkward fit. If he makes it to FA he will be making 8mil+ and hasn't really proven he can be effective in the playoffs yet. He is a Left hand shot and would presumably take up the last slot in the top 6. Howard is better suited for Cirelli/Hagel's rush offense than being on the 3rd line with Paul too.

I’d give two 1sts, two 2nds, and Geekie for Marchenko

His contract is amazing, we could then easily fill the bottom 6 with decent guys, just don’t suck for a couple more years

I honestly don't know what crack our front office was smoking when we traded all that we did for Jeannot. Dude scored like 10 deflections, 6 double doink deflections, 6 tap ins and 2 regular goals that were wrist shots or slap shots
 
Idk, the idea of Marchand kinda gets me excited lol

That was a major scouting error

Actually this is fine, the problem is he stopped going to the net for those deflections and doinks. That's not fine, he literally turned into a perimeter player despite not having the talent/ability for it.
 
Marchenko isn't happening. Columbus is very much in the playoff mix, and there is no reason at all for them to trade one of their best young players.
