Value of: your middle-six winger to the blue jackets

[My3Sons]

We've already got JMFJ at leage minimum and he has all those bases covered.

But why pay league minimum when you can pay so much more?

...the fact that this is almost starting to make sense is probably the clearest indication that I've stayed at work way too late.
Even though I work from home...

Not moving Sillinger. Or Boone whoever mentioned that.

 

[Andre Palot]

You guys want a slightly used Palat?

 

[Ghetty Green]

Trevor Moore ?

ok, if I understood OP, CBJ needs bodies to weather the storm willing to cough up later...

how about Rs accommodate, go couple steps back now to be better prepared for POs?

Jones is a lefty, can play righty
Carrick = useful bottom pivot
Reilly Smith - may/may not have veto power, would be top 6 F help
Vesey = useful bottom W
Sykora prospect F
Bryce McConnell Barker prospect F

for

Jenner
CBJ 2025 3rd
return of NYR 2026 4th

rationale for BJs
Jenner is out of commission until POs, practically; will CBJ be in it?
he would be like 2 yr rental, outside chance he'd extend, but COL in the picture if he doesn't
get useful bodies needed
coupla decent prospects

rationale for Rs
We are fine rolling Brodz - Edstrom - Rempe 4th line so Vesey can go
we are sacrificing depth in Carrick + prospects/Jones worth more but we are getting Jenner for POs

I view this as chiefly vet depth for vet depth

Carrick is suitable at a 13th forward, 4th line center at the best

That's also a lot of garbage for Boone Jenner

Never change Bern...I don't know how you could possibly defend that as helping, but damn if you didn't try
