Laine for Gaudreau. The trade is 1-for-1.

Chris Sutter is worth more than a second round pick. Trust me on this one.

I would take practically anything if it gets rid of Torts.

A thread with a whole lot of words from Torts wherein he says pretty much nothing beyond "GRRR! I am a lion and I will NOT BE QUESTIONED"

not sure what Torts is making (was $5MM in Vancouver), but i really wonder what the value-add of all of that wharrgarble is versus
a) rolling 4 lines
b) matching a checking line where you can, otherwise, see a)

Torts and all of his reading the game, situational, momentum analysis on the fly has amounted to 10 wins in 28 games.

And it must be noted a career win % of .551 reg season and .478 playoffs.

Big question which Mikko Lehtonen was acquired? Not that it matters.

my bad. just remembered there was something ungodly about it, and a 5 was involved. lol
and that they were negotiating against absolutely no one.


looked it up, he's making 2.5MM in CBJ
that kind of success deserves a raise, i guess.

I think perhaps the Jackets should just avoid anything relating to the word "Clarkson".

Clarkson and Dunne? That's a double whammy.

I'm not sure Seth Jones is worth much more than he's currently making. If there's even a whiff that he's interested in this kind of contract just trade him now.

 

[forty_three]

Maybe Jones is the one we should be shopping and not (allegedly) Werenski.

No way in hell we can keep both. Pay Jones 10+ and we won't be able to afford a lot else.

I'd keep Werenski. He's younger. controllable and probably better.

But who would trade a 1C for Jones straight up?

 

[forty_three]

This would irritate me immensely if they trade him.

All in all, the guy is three points behind the guy we traded him for and has played half the games on a 4th line at wing and has never been given a chance with Laine.

Edit: Twitter bio still says Jackets.

Not like we stood a snowball's chance in hell of beating that bunch of jerks, but this is gonna make it harder.
