Salary cap aside, I take Kampf over Dewar as the 4C any day. Not sure what people see in Dewar besides being a fringe undersized NHLer.

Unfortunately you can't just excuse the salary cap. It's one of the biggest factors in building a proper team.

He's about the same player for a fraction of the cap.

If hypothetically and extremely unlikely we were to ever land Jiricek. Would he play for us right now? He would be better than Timmins right?

Probably not? Fabbro was just picked up on waivers and has been playing 21+ minutes a night for Columbus. If he can't get into the Blue Jackets lineup over multiple seasons, not sure he'd be a player that gets in our lineup.

For everyone who talking about making a move for Jiricek, do you really know why Columbus looking to kove him? The kid just dowsn't accept to play in a team system...

Do you really think than a team whos looking for playoff succes will have any interest in a player who can't play in team?!?!?!

He’s not about the same player though.

Both low event low offense 4th liners. One is better on draws, the other is a lot more physical. I would say they are similar in the role they play. The big difference is 1.3M in salary.
