Around The League - 2024-25 Regular Season

[Habsy]

It'll depend on what salary we send back. There's a good chance we could beat the trade in terms of "value", but if we can't fit him under the cap because Columbus doesn't want one of the contracts we're willing to give up (Drouin/Danault), then it doesn't mean much.

Habs have to send ~$3.5m back to make it work.

 

[Krustchev]

This is now a Qanon board?

See you, Drouin.

Yes & Yes

Danault + Drouin....can’t help but think Poehling would be an NHL ready type CBJ would covet as part of the package

Harmless fun until a riot in the Bell Centre.

Dibs on the fur suit with the horns.

You'll probably find it somewhere in the dark room with Armia....

I knew it. Organized from inside. Damn.

 

[GEEMAN]

Ducks have the better potential prospect package

 

[GEEMAN]

I suspect the return for PLD will be underwhelming, can see how CBJ wins that trade.

I think they get more than expected

 

[GEEMAN]

I think we have our new candidate for worst contract in the NHL. Not just currently, I'm talking of all time.

Jeff Skinner, with 6 more years at $9M after this season, started on the fourth line early this season and played 9 minutes tonight.

Oofff.

When you sign a player whose contract is an albatross 5 minutes after the ink dries , it’s a shit contract .

There was no way Buffalo was ever going to get value on this deal , as bad as Okposo

You put a 24k gold statue of Nero at the front entrance if this package is accepted

Blue Jackets on the verge of dealing disgruntled center Pierre-Luc Dubois

Blue Jackets on the verge of dealing disgruntled center Pierre-Luc Dubois

The Winnipeg Jets are believed to be the front-runners for Dubois, with Anaheim, Montreal and possibly others in the mix.

theathletic.com

A restricted free agent, Roslovic hasn’t signed a contract for this season, so he has remained in Columbus and has skated with the Ohio AAA Blue Jackets junior program, with which he developed

As for the other potential trade partners, it’s unknown which players would be involved in trades with the Canadiens or Ducks, but top prospects such as forward Cole Caufield (Montreal) and forward Trevor Zegras (Anaheim) would be high on the Jackets’ wish list

Isn’t dubois’s father working for the jets?

Anyway, weird trade.

Yes - Eric Dubois is an assistant coach with Manitoba Moose (AHL).

Most logical outcome actually.

 

[Krustchev]

Max Domi is now the no. 1 center in CBJ. Good luck with that one.

 

[CH1]

now, PLD can see his mama this year

 

[Krustchev]

I did not want to trade CC but the Jets will be tough down the middle with Scheiffle and PLD. As long as KK progresses we’ll be fine there too.

Also have Stastny as 3rd C, but their W just got a lot weaker, and teams can now zero in on Connor.

I suspect Roslovic will develop in his hometown
