If they want to get to 0.500 this is pretty much the game to do it. To date a lot of teams are stumbling in the Metro. Somehow, they need to take advantage of that.

EDIT : So TSN reporting Laine is back in the lineup tonight

Per Nick Kypreos of Sportsnet: “The Leafs, Senators, Islanders, Oilers, and Blue Jackets have been linked to Jacob Chychrun.”

Per Aaron Portzline of the Athletic: “The Blue Jackets may need to make a trade for a right hand defenseman”

Okay, I can agree we need a RH D-man. Can someone please tell me who we are trading to get one worth trading for?

Obviously Nyquist is on the block, after that who else can be put in a package to clear cap space, is tempting for another team to want on their roster, is not a person central to the team's future, and can be replaced from within the organization?

I won't hold my breath waiting for answers, neither should the rest of us.

If the rumor is true Armstrong wants the Seth Jones package for Chychrun, unfortunately not every GM is Stan Bowman.

So 2 firsts, an established player / blue chip prospect.

But unfortunately for Armstrong, Chychrun is not on the same level as Seth Jones. And other GMs know that and are not open to giving up that package. Armstrong can just continue to hold on to him for 3 yrs.
