he's not currently playing for the blue jackets defense... Im not sure what the question is here?

Except you can't trade zibanejad, so what next?

Couldn't trade Goodrow either, where is he at? Put zib on the 4th line, no pp, he'll see things our way.

The cap is going up. The cap is going up. *Grabs the megaphone* ANNOUNCEMENT. ANNOUNCEMENT. THE CAP IS GOING UP!"

When top 4 D-men reset the market after the cap goes up we can talk about the next cap increase to potentially bail out bad signings. Everybody is going to get a piece of that cap increase. You don't just get extra money to play with when building a team to compete.

Depends how much pride you think he has.
Still in NY - Check.
Still on the same team as Kreider - Check.
Still getting paid - Check.
Watching the team panic and putting Zibanejad back out on the ice - Check.

Zib will waive for Detroit, the birthplace of techno music

With Brodz in for Chytil, that line is much more of a checking line and less of an offensive threat. I'd flip Smith and Cuylle, as both have experience playing their off wing. Give Cuylle top line minutes and maybe add some spice to the wonder twins bland 5v5 play:

Kreider-Zib-Cuylle
Smith-Brodz-Kakko

It’s really amazing that people look at cuylle and think he’s somehow any part of the engine that drives offense?

How much worse could it be than what they are currently doing at 5v5 with Zib & Kreider?
