I might be the minority but I would perfer to keep Jbo and try to sign him next year to a 3 -4 year extension in the 5 million range. If we can't sign him next year than ship him out. I would approach him this year though to see if he is interested in staying through the rebuild.

I think jbo is a number two defender on an elite team. The same cannot be said for Wideman or Gio and we don't know about Brodie yet but I see him as a good 3/4 but struggling as a 1/2. So if we trade Jbo we have 3 2nd pairing defensemen and need two top pairing defensemen. If we keep Jbo we only have 1 gaping hole in our defense.

I would rather look at moving Glencross to get a 1st and a prospect. He is the most valuable guy on our roster left.
