I feel Columbus is one or two guys short from really breaking out offensively. Followed them a fair bit the last couple years mostly due to fantasy leagues.
Texier - Dubois - Bjorkstrand --- Texier has some potential, but a winger upgrade there would make huge impact
Foligno/Jenner - Domi - Atkinson --- Feel like this has the makings of a great 1B line
Either adding a C (to bump Domi to the 1st line LW) or LW would help them immensely, maybe they're banking on that happening so felt comfortable with this Bjorkstrand contract.
Though that said, if they lose Dubois without replacing in-kind or upgrading... they're in trouble & this might feel like an overpay until there are some additions to the top 6.
