Offseason Roster Moves, Rumors and Discussion

[KJ Dangler]

I think you have to consider it, especially if it means getting another first round pick or another value add for the team. But I'm also not Jenner's biggest fan here, so I won't miss him if he's gone.

I don’t think we really have any untouchables , maybe Fantilli …. Reading thru this thread , @Major is correct , we need more veterans on this team, Boone also has a great contract which could cause some teams to overpay this time of year . I do wonder about Boone the captain, and the locker room dynamics the past couple years . Porty referred to the locker room with cliques, and mirroring a 5th grade classroom . At the same point , how much of that was Jarmo or PVs direction . From memory , other veterans like Werenski, Gud, weren’t allowed to have a voice from Portys reporting … so only Waddell knows if the room situation has been resolved , or there’s more work to do ?

Well at this point I suspect it's far from resolved since we don't have a coach and the locker room is still the same. I think there is lots of work to be done.

tbf they say that the jackets would be unlikely to part with any of those assets without wpg adding

I think the clear resolution to this is mcgroarty for chychrun but I think the jackets could pull off a deal without giving up any of their premium guys, and I think mcgroarty would be a great fit here.

Swap out Chychrun with Provorov and I wouldn't object.

He probably wants to win but potentially another guy to go after?

he's like 40 years old, he's gonna do a giordano type deal (vet minimum with a cup contender)

For me doing so would be roughly equivalent to, say, the Preds signing The Former #7.

Perhaps. Or he could take a deal with a team like us, check out the contenders, and then when the deadline comes effectively pick the team he goes to.

Perhaps. On the other hand...



That shit would break me.

The rare double buyout lol

A Cup Contender just bought him out. It will be interesting to see if he signs with anyone or just calls it a career.

Edmonton just wasted a valuable roster spot with Corey Perry and it may have cost them a Cup. These ancient veterans IMO are vastly overrated as roster additions which will put a team over the top.

What moves should we make this offseason? Who should stay and go? Will we be active in the UFA/trade market? Will anyone be bought out?

Discuss all offseason roster matters in here.

Can you unstick this post?

Yannick Weber?

Let's play hypothetical here, what would it take to get him from the canes and what would it take to sign him?

marchenko++ and probably about $7.5+ for the contract

Not sure if this has been discussed here already, but if they're looking to add toughness and leadership in the backend, Trouba is that guy. Ownership will like a somewhat front loaded contract (only 2y left), CBJ is probably not on the 15 team M-NTC list (the story was the he went to NYR for his wife's job, which makes location his priority).

Wouldn't be surprised if that ended up happening

Our Former #7. It's one of those things where it matters exclusively because I'm a fan of both teams, and so seeing the betrayer of one show up on another as though it's No Big Deal (which to most of them is true) hurts.

I've been banging the Trouba to Columbus drum on capfriendly since the Rags were eliminated. The crowded right side makes that tricky, but either put Severson on his offhand again or move someone.

His wife is a doctor who specializes in neuroscience. Columbus happens to have some excellent opportunities for that, from Riverside to the James.

I'm extremely hesitant because I think we need a shutdown guy and from what I've heard he can't really do that effectively anymore.

Yeah he's not a shutdown guy at this point. From what I've watched in NYR, he's an average Dman with very heavy focus on physicality. Like to the point where his excessive physicality results in chances against, which will probably show in his adv stats. Also makes him a pretty entertaining player since he's absolutely crushing rushing forwards on the blueline consistently

 

[Xoggz22]

Chalk me up as one who has zero interest in Trouba. I think they can address the leadership issue elsewhere AND get a higher value contributor.

Trouba is an anchor who cheap shots people. I’m good

Small step towards fixing the annual injury crisis is acquiring the dirty players that could injure CBJ players

If he’s a Jacket, he’s not injuring Jackets.

Jack Campbell for Elvis M. The ultimate change of scenery trade. Both have 3 years left on their deals and are similar AAV.

Was supposed to be a joke.
