You don’t want a 31 year old C with 6 points in 20 GP and 2 more years at 5.00!?

I had similar thoughts about a week ago after reading this thread:Per AP’s article in The Athletic Sunday Gathering
• Kekäläinen remained in the New York metro area when the Blue Jackets flew to Raleigh after Friday’s win in New Jersey. He stuck around to do some scouting and was spotted at Saturday’s Islanders-Flyers game.
My thoughts - Could he be looking at Pageau - rumors are he is eyeing a center. We need a center with faceoff experience. Could have used him today for those defensive draws against Carolina. Although Lindholm is even better at faceoffs and rumors are he played well with Johnny Hockey.
Pageau for Gud
Pageau+pick(s) for Peeke/Boqvist
Pageau+picks for Laine
?????
Kind of hard to come up with a proposal that would make sense for both teams...

Pageau has some of the worst underlying stats on the Isles this year. The profile of a totally washed player. I'm not sure we'd have a roster spot for him, like it appears that Kuraly and Sillinger would play ahead of him.

I have one standard - build a team that can win a Cup. I have said for a while now that I don’t know what Jarmo is doing.
I even ran a poll over the summer about which defenders you would play to hold on to a lead, because I didn’t see a team that could protect a lead. I was curious who others would put in to hold a lead.
Oct 14 against the Rangers. 40 seconds to go. Jackets up 3-2. Face off in the defensive zone. Which two defensemen are you putting in? (Pick 2)
Curious to see who people would pick.
If he's doing anything he better be moving players not acquiring.Per AP’s article in The Athletic Sunday Gathering

At a minimum trading bad long-term contracts for bad short-term contracts.
We are not one player away from competing. We should be thinking long term and making sure we have flexibility in 2024-25, 2025-26, etc.

Craig Button was on the Steve Kouleas show on Sirius/XM NHL today and went off on this franchise woes and clearly put it on the front office.
Steve Kouleas asked about trades like Johnny G, Patrick L or Boone J. Craig said not with this front office. He elaborated this franchise woes are clearly on owner, hockey ops and gm. Steve then said Cole Sillinger only had 4 goals in the past 80 games. Craig said he doesn’t blame the player but the front office. He said the player doesn’t have the power to pick and choose whether they stay in the NHL or AHL. He said the NHL is not a league to learn you craft he gave the example would you go have knee surgery done by a 2nd year resident or a doctor who has done it many times before. He said blaming the players is the wrong approach when the front office hires coaches and assembles the roster. He said you can draft great but you don’t develop players.
Very scathing of the CBJ front office.

So Steve has been getting his talking points from us?
man if we didn't go on a 9 game heater we would be in a playoff spot lol! i think we get in the hunt by mid jan. teams getting better and better ( pretty solid for a rebuild year! )
We are also 6 points from last in the league. Its been pretty sporadic, if we see more of what we did last night it would be a solid year of what is supposed to be us on our way out of a rebuild in managements eyes

Maybe the answer is to continue drafting Russians who can continue to develop on the KHL before we get our hands on them
There's no way they aren't using something like Google translate. There's no excuse for staff around Voro to not be able to communicate. Google buds will translate in real time. Seems like an easy fix for coaching staff to be able to communicate with him without relying on other kids to properly communicate what they're trying to get across to him
Agreed. I was mostly just poking fun across threads
I think it's perfectly plausible that they're already doing exactly what you suggest.

That quote gives me a bit of hope because it reads as if he's not trying to defend Jarmo and JD or indicating that there would be no front office changes in the near future.

Dear Santa,
This year please do not leave coal in Jarmo’s stocking. Instead leave a pink slip.
