This is going to get interesting.

Trade them all to Arizona. Problem solved!

 

[tempest2i]

Wasn't it pretty obvious weeks and weeks ago that the Blue Jackets would have to retain salary to trade those guys?

 

[Richiebottles]

Hartnell at half retained to the Habs ?

 

[Traitor Zach]

Have to wonder how long Davidson and Kekalainen hold on there. Jarmo has done a poor job.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Hartnell I could see quite a few teams be interested in at a retained cost.

The rest?

Good luck.

How did this happen in a small market?

They signed a few players to big money contracts when they were in the middle/at the end of unsustainable hot streaks.

Is it allowed to retain salary for only a portion of a contract? Like if a guy's signed for 3 years, a team retains 50% of the salary but only for 1 of those 3 years, and the rest is the full cap hit.

Bu-bu-but Hartnell is a valuable piece!

 

[Crede777]

Bu-bu-but Hartnell is a valuable piece!

He is. And the team should just buy out Tyutin. This move is just stupid.

 

[LuGBuG]

A retained Hartnell is like a dream for Perry and Getzlaf

Doesn't mean he has no value, he just has more when retained

That clarkson trade looks worse by the day

Until the day he goes on LTIR like Horton. Only Clarkson is insured.

 

[Vino]

Retain how much? 10%? 20%? 30%?

 

[Iceman]

Not sure what Hartnell has to do with the other guys other than being as likely go get moved, if not more so.

A career ending injury is the end goal for Clarkson?

Kekalainen is just a puppet ruler. Davidson is the one who is making the decisions.

His back is in pretty bad shape.

No. Its even retention for the life of the contract every year

 

[Crede777]

He has missed 138 games in the last two seasons (having played only 26 games). His back is a constant issue. I think it's inevitable.

 

[TruGr1t]

There will probably be more interest in Hartnell after UFA period opens and some teams miss out on the forwards they're targeting. The other two ... no sorry, those are buy-outs.

Everything Columbus does is stupid to you.

You would say it is stupid if they retain some salary in a trade involving Hartnell.
You would say it is stupid if they didn't retain some salary in a trade involving Hartenll.
You would say it is stupid if they kept Hartnell.

No. I think it's stupid to retain salary on Hartnell. I also think it was stupid to pass on Puljujarvi.

That's about it at the moment.

I've defended Jarmo in the past, but some of his moves sure have been head scratchers. It's only fair to question things from a GM who has piloted his team to 27th in the league but 5th in cap.

But they arent retired yet
