When KJ returns, we’ll already have two guys in the press box (Labanc/JVR/ZAR, and Harris/Johnson). No reason to let pyyhtia sit as a 14th forward if he can go to Cleveland.

Man, I get Sillinger Olivier JVR would be slow as shit but I would love to see Chinakhov with Fantilli and KJ. That line would bring it all.

I'm confused why the GM actually wants to speak to the media when it was just a demotion to Cleveland and a pending activation of KJ from IR.

I missed the post with that tweet in it. This is indeed potentially interesting.

Would be so insanely stupid if they trade Olivier
listen, i love olivier, he's a great tough guy and has grown a ton of as a hockey player. great in the room, too. would love to keep him around for the right price.
but he's shooting 30% so far this season. he's the kind of guy who teams overpay for via trade and overpay to keep when it comes time to sign them.
i'm not saying they should trade him, but until he signs an extension, as a pending UFA on a hot streak he is absolutely someone they should take calls on.

Can you explain why Danforth is alternating with Labanc?
Maybe Jiříček can be traded?

overpay meaning more picks that could ultimately mean nothing. I don't even care about the goals, he brings a bunch of things this team lacks

I don't think it would be insanely stupid. Might not be the smartest idea to trade him, but he is a UFA after this season, if the team doesn't plan on resigning him, may as well get something for him

Concept of a Plan
Obviously, signing Olivier to a good extension should be the goal but if nothing can be done there then getting a Jeannot size haul for him isn't a terrible option. We don't have a second for the next two years.

Severson played well with Christiansen and poorly with Provorov... Obviously the solution is play him with Johnson
There are times and players I'm happy to see traded for picks, this is not one of them. This is a player you do what you gotta do to sign him and take it to the last possible moment and of he straight up won't sign then you can cross that bridge

I don’t care if he’s shooting 80%. He’s showing some good offense overall but much more imprortant he brings a toughness the Jackets otherwise totally lack. I mean 100% lack. Keep Olivier even though I know not getting that 3rd round pick will be devastating
he brings toughness to the team and is good in the room – i am not discounting those things. i'm also not saying that this team needs to maximize cap efficiency of every contract.
but when you look at other guys who fit that archetype (jeannot, reaves, goodrow, hathaway)… well, it sure seems like the teams that traded those guys away did a lot better than the ones who signed them to their next contracts.
and if the primary return is draft picks, they don't have to actually use those to draft prospects, they can use them to bolster a trade or get a guy who will help higher in the lineup.
