Agree. However the Jackets are a few years away from being contenders for the playoffs. They have many holes to fill on that roster and you have to think a rebuild is coming at some point for them.
Yes Saad, Dubinsky, Foligno and Johnson are nice pieces to lead a group. But they are more role players or complimentary guys.
Gotta think they will be trade fodder if CBJ isn't in the dance come next years(not this year's) playoffs..
Then add the Bobrovsky issue.. He's getting long in the tooth and with his confidence issues, you can't ride him for long.
If I'm Kekalainen, I'm strongly considering Calgary D prospects.
If you can manage to get your hands on 2 of
Kulak, Seiloff, Hickey, Anderson, Kylington and Morrison plus a 1st rounder 1-20, you have to seriously consider it.
