Pears Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Columbus just barely misses the playoffs this year after trading Rick Nash and acquiring Marian Gaborik. They have three first round picks this year in a very deep draft and IMO, they should deal one or two of their lowest first round picks to fill holes in their line up. What they need: - A first line LW - A second line RW - A back up for Bobrovsky Here is what I propose to get those players: First trade: To Columbus: Thomas Vanek ($5 million) To Buffalo: Tim Erixon, Austin Madaisky, 2013 1st (19th overall) Draft selections: 14th overall: Hunter Shinkaruk 27th overall: Ryan Hartman 44th overall: Jackson Houck 75th overall: Marko Dano 105th overall: Jordan Subban Cap space for re-signings: $14,393,691 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Re-signings: Artem Anisimov: 2 years, $5 million ($2.5 million per) Blake Comeau: 2 years, $2.5 million ($1 million year 1, $1.5 million year 2) Colton Gillies: 2 years, $750K per Sergei Bobrovsky: 3 years, $10.5 million ($3.5 million per) Cap space for free agency: $6,643,691 ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Signings: Michael Ryder: 2 years, $9 million ($4 million year 1, $5 million year 2) Tim Thomas: 1 year, $1.5 million There would be just over $1.1 million in cap space left so that can be use to get to the 23-man roster ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Line up: Vanek - Johansen - Gaborik Umberger - Dubinsky - Ryder Foligno - Anisimov - Atkinson Calvert - Letestu - Comeau Gillies Johnson - Wisniewski Tyutin - Murray Nikitin - Prout Bobrovsky Thomas Thoughts?

Monty Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Hunter Shinkaruk won't drop to 14th, and Jordan Subban won't drop to 105th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drouin Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I would expect them to make the playoffs but IMO, Thomas would want to go to a team to be a starter for atleast 3m, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 Vanek is 7.1mil and Sabres won't trade their top point scorer for a bunch of unproven rookies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da.moose Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I don't think CBJ has proven that they are actually close enough to being a true contender to trade assets like Erixon and that 1st round pick. They are better off being patient and making a move like that when they are a better and more proven team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForsbergTheGreat Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 What about Jenner, I think their is a good chance he will make the line up. What about CBJ trading their 14th overall, 27th and Erixon to get a top 5 pick, A team like FLA would probably listen to that type of offer. I personally think CAL needs to consider trying to get Mackinnon in this years draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
