Fair for both, though I'd give the edge to Nashville. They essentially have 2 1Cs now in Forsberg/Johansen, add that to supreme goaltending and an elite D core, they're looking pretty good. 

Unless I've been puffing the magic dragon. I believe Forsberg is playing LW. But I get what you're saying. 

I think their lines shape up like 

Forsberg-Johansen-Neal

Wilson-Ribeiro-Smith 

Fisher on the third and so on and so on

I would wet myself laughing really.

 

Seriously shocked Poille did this knowing that RyJo has some health and work ethic issues and could walk away at contracts end

No he can't walk away hes RFA and if he choses to go arb then NSH gets to pick term which would be 2 years. 

RJ will sign long term at end of this contract.

Vancouver wouldn't do it for that

 

There's a LONG LONG running joke from years back.  every year it changes.  Marginal non impact players and a pick getting the leagues best players or prospects.

 

Happens once a week in the proposals sections.

Lol. Once a week?

Are you high? More like once a day. :)

I really like this trade for both teams. Good, old fashioned, hockey move. RJ has a lot to live up to being moved for Jones though, and I don't mean defensively. This is going to be a good one to look back on in 3-4.

People gripe about what Gillis did but forget the nearly 7 years between Burke and Nonis where they did the exact same thing.

 

We dearly need to spend 3-5 years with multiple 1st through 3rd round picks to stock any kind of organizational depth imo and even then need to continue doing that for at least a decade after those players become busts or NHL stars to ensure we're competitive

Yup. I agree. I think we need at least the years you've said (3-5), to just pick elite prospects in the 1st round (and assuming those aren't busts, either, i.e. Kassian, Hodgson, etc). And organizationally, we just need to keep drafting well, whether it's in the 1st round or 3rd round or 5th round. Some of the premier defenseman in the league weren't even drafted in the 1st round (Doughty I know was), but Duncan Keith, and PK Subban were drafted in the second round if I'm not mistaken. We need to find gems like that. 

Burke and Nonis were terrible. Those years really with Gillis' regime, did us in. We didn't draft well at all, and we are where we are today, as a franchise as result of that. No youth coming up the ranks from within the organization. It's too bad. And quite sad to see the state that we're in. 

But with that being said. We have an opportunity now to do something special. Draft some good prospects and let's start our rebuild!

No way. Not a chance. 

Not Tanev by himself. It would have to be Tanev plus a prospect, maybe even a pick. 

Jones is young enough, and he's already playing top four minutes at such a young age. I think Columbus wins this deal, though. They will have a stud dman in the future.

What it really shows is that CBJ should have been more open to good relations with their star property. Last Year!

Once people are disinterested its hard to recover...

Well lucky for CBJ they still received a very good return.

Drew Doughty among others had bad negotiations leading to a minor hold out. He seems just fine.

I may have missed it if was outed, but besides from the [likely frustrating] continuous rebuild Columbus has been involved in for years did the RJ camp provide any info on why they wanted a move?

I mean they are the Blue Jackets and that's reason enough, even though they appear to have a bright future if they can avoid the Edmonton scenario. Add Torts to that and get me out of there.

Even if he were treated just fine and relations were the tops I wouldn't blame him for opting out.
