Speculation: Roster Building Thread XIV

[Oscar Lindberg]

Drury Blackwell is not that good, just let them have him haha

Or we send Strome + Hajek to Seattle for Gourde + ?

 

[Zibanejbread]

wtf

 

[Machinehead]

Giordano is low-key a great fit for us actually

Im confused as well.

As far as I know, any deals for players taken cannot happen until tomorrow.

 

[EdJovanovski]

He has more value than Strome.

Idk about that, Strome outproduces him substantially and is 2 years younger. Buchnevich has FAR more value than Gourde though and there should be a big add if they were trading Gourde for Buch, let alone us adding Strome lmao

Any trades with Seattle would be announced tonight.

Makes sense....depending on the cost...

Strome for Giordano and Blackwell?

Giordano is a perfect placeholder to give Robertson another year to marinate and can protect K'Andre in certain situations.

 

[NYR Viper]

The player is perfect. I'm concerned with the cost though.

 

[NJRangers35]

I have zero faith in anything Carp says

 

[Kovalev27]

carp drops this bomb and it’s a tremendous move for us if true

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Is Carp implying that we'd trade a better player or a draft pick to keep Blackwell but also acquire Giordano?

 

[RGY]

The player is perfect. I'm concerned with the cost though.

Seattle would need to retain.

 

[JohnC]

Would be a great add for any of the 3 D pairings.

 

[Machinehead]

He's 37. It wouldn't be much. Calgary just let him go.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

If we're sending strome for Blackwell and Gio...Drury has another big deal lined up for tomorrow 100%

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Giordano is low-key a great fit for us actually

In a vacuum, for sure but what are we giving up for him?

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Seattle absolutely needs to retain money in any Giordano deal tho

 

[NYR Viper]

I wonder if Seattle likes Hajek. Seemed odd they protected him and didn't find another d-man. Maybe they thought Seattle would take Hajek and that is preferable to them than Giordano and his 1 year deal and money owed?

 

[RGY]

We need the flexibility to continue on our path to fill out the forward group

 

[bobbop]

Francis isn't doing Columbus any favors. They didn't take Domi because they don't want him and no one else does either. They have to select 30 players, but can only ice 23, so this guy will walk as a UFA.

Domi just had surgery and will be out until January.

 

[Thirty One]

Doesn't make a lot of sense. The pick is in and they can't trade a pick back to the team, I don't think.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Strome for Giordano is awful asset management so hopefully Carp is wrong

Blackwell has no place on this team if he’s not being glued to Panarin and Strome

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Idk about that, Strome outproduces him substantially and is 2 years younger. Buchnevich has FAR more value than Gourde though and there should be a big add if they were trading Gourde for Buch, let alone us adding Strome lmao

Strome is signed for 1 more year, is one dimensional and gets to play with Panarin.

The term matters. Same for Buch but yeah, I don't think both of them for Gourde is even remotely good asset management.
