But of course, Canucks fans would never make that trade. I think every fan would make that trade lol. More likely Blues wanted a non-pick back unless it was a bottom 3 team as they needed a lot of help on the backend. Plus I'm sure Jarmo Kekalainen being one of the brightest hockey minds in the game isn't dumb enough to trade Johansen for a Canucks top 6 pick which would easily become a mid 1st round pick with Johansen pushing the Canucks to a playoff spot.

R3aL Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 We all expected this. And we couldn't offer any thing better. Trade makes sense, a big win for Columbus considering how toxic the relationship was becoming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Preds vs Caps happened, I think it would be the first time I'd be having troubles on who to cheer for. On the plus side, I wouldn't have any angry feelings towards the team that does win.

LaBamba Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Columbus making the best out of a crappy situation. I am a firm believer in building from the back. On average it takes a Dman 8 years from his draft year to reach his full potential. Imagine what a 28 year old Seth Jones and a 25 year old Mathews will look like. i would give the edge to Columbus. People are calling the Preds Stanley cup champions for picking up a struggling player? Pete Lavs ain't no easy coach to play for. We will see if he can adapt.

Odd. Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Now no more Johansen proposals here. They've gottten their number one center now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUndaCanuck Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Now CBJ could use a center (Jenner's surely not #1 yet), I'd love Murray or Savard. Jones in on the right side pushes Savard down. He's 25, righty, big and strong. Murray is obviously more of a puck mover. Would probably cost a McCann/Horvat for one of those guys plus a pick though.

shiznak Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 3 minutes ago, WHL rocks said: JB would have easily given up the 1st for Jones or RJ, easily. The 1st isn't worth either of those players. I don't think Benning would have easily given up our first, considering all those times he stated in interviews, that he wants to build through the draft. A lot of people undervalue how much a top pick is worth. Those picks are worth a lot more now, than before. 2 minutes ago, Down by the River said: Not really correct at all because (1) Nashville didn't want a high first, they wanted a #1 C to help them win the cup now, and (2) CBJ needs a #1 dman that can help them NOW, not 3-4 years down the road. My post was referring more to trading for Johansen than Jones. Even so, I think CBJ would have to consider our deal, if Benning happened to offer that. Columbus isn't contending anytime soon. They need to restock their prospect pool, now that Reilly, Johansen, and the soon to be Rychel are gone and picking twice in the top 6 would help ease the bleeding.

Mr.DirtyDangles Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 lol at everyone pumpin NHS's tires. 15 points out of first barely in a wild card spot. Contender ? maybe if they seriously pick it up. Trade will help for sure but it is not going to propell them past DAL or CHI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Might as well secure your Auston Matthews Blue Jackets jerseys early. I wonder if Nashville just punched their ticket to the finals, but even with RyJo, they just seem to lack 'next level' forwards. Teams are definitely helping them out though in that regard. Missing the brief time which teams helped out the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gstank29 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Sooo Vrbata would look really good playing next to Johansen Dougherty and a 1st (but more realistically a 2nd) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Huh. 28 minutes ago, Gooseberries said: You know what bugs me. I understand that we don't have the assets for johansen that's fine. I understand that we wouldn't want Schenn or Vinny. I understand that Richards would want to sign with a contender. I don't understand how benning said it was quiet in the league right now. Star players getting moved Coveted fa signing Multi piece trade All today. Doesn't seem quiet. Is he lieing to us or is he not in the mix. Either way I don't like it. It was, until today. A couple very specific deals may open things up, but that hardly means GM's haven't been playing chess with each other for awhile now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRussianRocket. Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 And on second thought, Columbus has their blueline set for a long time. Assuming Tortorella can deploy them properly and not make em league worst +/- Jones, Werenski, Johnson, Murray, Savard, .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
