I think many are overestimating Columbus's desire to shed bad contracts. Or underestimating their options to do so. Would they like to, sure, but they're not going to pay Puljujarvi to do it. They'd find another way (ie trade away a 2nd or something).

To put it another way, some seem to be mulling over whether we pay three 2nds to move up to #3. So let's just say that's rough market value for the purposes of this conversation (I still think it might not be enough but I digress). Three seconds is massive overpayment to shed Hartnell and Bobrovsky.
